How to stop flies bothering you while walking or jogging
You’re halfway through your morning walk, feeling smug about your life choices - until a rogue fly decides to make your nostril its final resting place. Suddenly, you're flailing, spitting, and waving like you're trying to land a light aircraft.
Sound familiar?
If you're dealing with flies while walking outdoors, you're not alone — and you’re not powerless. Here's how to keep your stride (and your dignity) intact this fly season.
Why flies love walkers and joggers
Bush flies aren’t just annoying - they’re tactical. Drawn to moisture, they’re laser-focused on the sweat around your eyes, mouth, and ears. Add movement, body heat and the occasional heavy exhale, and you’ve basically become an airborne snack.
Unfortunately, walking or jogging makes it worse:
-
Sweat + speed = fly magnet
-
You can’t swat with your hands full of water bottles or dog leads
-
Moving at a fast pace + your mouth open to exhale = high fly-swallowing probability
