While Repel-Xp (which contains pyrethrins, piperonyl butoxide and lots of deoderized kerosine) is very effective at repelling flies, for several hours, it lacks the citronella that make FlyGone7000 so effective at repelling culicoides. From my (fairly extensive) testing, Repel-Xp does almost nothing toward repelling culicoides. I find that FlyGone also works very well at repelling flies, and its effect lasts considerably longer than that of Repel-X, probably due to its stabilized citronella.
