Thread: Dam horse flies

Can't hardly get out the door before they start zooming. I don't know how they can find the middle of your back were I can't reach but then fly right into the side of the house. Thunk. Stupid things.

They were bad around my shop the last two years. I cant find a good way to get rid of them. From what I've read, the females are the ones that bite. They need the protein from blood to help develope their eggs. Once they lay the eggs, they arent a problem

The biting flys are bad here when on the lake!!! Thermocell don't even help them none.

Damn horse flys about ate me alive last weekend when working on deer plots and stands. Suckers bite hard

dang horse flies! a buddy, a 12 pack and a couple of tennis rackets can make for entertaining afternoon when there is nothing better to do!

I got to where I was pretty good at swat'n 'em off my horse's rear while riding, but I never have tried whacking one off a live person ... might be fun!

Make a cows life miserable too. I'm spraying a permethrin mix on them and it only helps a short period, if at all.
