Because when it comes to black flies (about a thousand times worse than mosquitoes), Mainiacs wouldn't even let tourists use something that doesn't work. DEET works. Period. It gives some people headaches, true. It'll take the finish off your rifle stock, my 788 woodchuck rifle to proves that.
Moose have been known to drown from going underwater to escape the insidious black flies. The first explorers declared the entire region unfit for human habitation because of them. You have Copperheads, Diamondbacks, Water Moccasins, Alligators and an entire half year you call the Screen Door to Hell season, but you are blessed to not know black flies.
Black flies are the reason boating is so popular in Maine. Fishing from shore requires a blood transfusion around lunch.
No kidding, as a 8 year old kid, I was given old white owl cigars to keep puffing on while we fished the Brooks.
It kept the black flies out of your ears, nose and eyes.
