Pesticide alternatives

Has anyone any information concerning a natural way of controlling sand fly populations? I am currently seeking an alternative to tradition modes of pesticide spraying widely used throughout the Caribbean.

Didnt they kill off complettely the sand flies in the other caribbean islands ? or do they still have to spray them.
We all know first hand the discomfort with these buggers. Every now and again I forget to spray or coat myself and I spend the day / evening in total discomfort.

I don't think we'll ever be able to get rid of them since they cover the island naturally but bloom in annoying quantities where ever there is so much fresh tender meat about. Many other islands use raking as an alternative to pesticides but that might not be an option here because the powers that be seek more hi-tech and costly ventures for a reason that completely escapes me.
