Whatever you want to call them is fine. I found two sprays that work for me. Picked up Bye Bye Black Fly several years ago and this year find is Bug Soother. Both can be found online.

Bug Soother works for me on gnats in Iowa... never tried it on black flies in BWCA, maybe I should.
A smokey fire, temps below about 50 degrees also help. A light weight head net is great too! Just remember you have it on at meal time :-)

Absorbine Jr. works for sure. We also had very good results with Repel lemon eucalyptus repellent on our last trip. But both had to be applied every hour or so.

Joy is a great teacher, but so is dispair. Wonder is a great teacher, but so is confusion. Hope is a great teacher, but so is disillusionment. And life is a great teacher, but so is death. To deny yourself any of those in any aspect is not experiencing life totally.

The maker of Bye Bye Black Fly just posted yesterday then had a new batch of spray. They were filling orders as fast as possible. Natural Oils no deet, very little smell.
I can't ignore them, welt up and deal with aftermath for a month or so. Sucks
