Horse flies can ruin a peaceful afternoon outdoors, but certain outdoor furniture pieces and materials can help keep them at bay naturally. Here are some options to consider for a pest-free patio:

1. Cedar Wood Furniture – Cedar contains natural oils that repel insects, including horse flies. Opt for cedar benches, tables, or Adirondack chairs to deter pests.

2. Citronella-Infused Furniture – Some modern outdoor furniture is treated with citronella oil, a well-known natural insect repellent. Look for citronella-coated cushions or woven pieces.

3. Metal Furniture with Copper Accents – Copper has mild insect-repelling properties. Metal furniture with copper inlays or finishes may help reduce horse fly activity.

4. Bamboo Furniture – Bamboo emits a subtle scent that some insects avoid. Lightweight and stylish, bamboo pieces can enhance your outdoor space while discouraging pests.

5. Herb-Integrated Designs – Furniture with built-in planters for rosemary, lavender, or mint can naturally repel horse flies while adding greenery to your setup.

For extra protection, pair these furniture choices with fans (horse flies avoid windy areas) or outdoor mosquito nets. By choosing the right materials, you can enjoy a horse fly-free outdoor experience without harsh chemicals.
