Year 1971
In 1971 Hugh Price, Pharmacist of Nelson, NZ worked with Fishermen and Hunters of the West Coast, South Island to formulate a more effective Repellent as 40% Deet was NOT stopping the Legendary South Island Sandflies biting, Neither did Natural Oils either. A special 6 ingredient combination was formulated which worked!

Year 1980
A special 6 ingredient combination was formulated which worked! The NZ Military switched to this combination formulation in 1980 and has not gone back to Deet alone (at any concentration). Hugh Price started supplying the New Zealand Military with Sunscreens, Camouflage paints, also the Mosquito net chemical packs.
