Is it just me, or does everybody have a million flies this year?!?!? I've never seen 'em as bad as they this summer. Reminds me of being at Grandmother's chicken houses when I was kid. Can't even sit outside after work and enjoy a cold beverage.

Don't have a bad fly problem but the mosquitos are totting us off. It's that little bitty black one.
They seem to be worse this year for some reason!
They bad for sure
My pest control guy has some kinda fogging machine he uses to fog our yard. He targets Mosquitos and it really works. Not only are they gone for 3-4 months, so are the flies. Had it fogged the first of May and I saw a skeeter last week, got him, and that's all. I'll get him to do it again bout first of August and that will last till winter. I don't know what the chemical is, but he says it ok. Hope so.

Killed a cottonmouth in my squash yesterday, and saw another snake of unknown species outside our hen house today. He was gone when I got there with my gun.
I believe this is the year for Biting Flies, Crickets, and Snakes.
Or maybe u are bathing less lolQuote:

I have two things on flies....kill them and kill them!!!!
Lowes sales a a disposable fly trap that will freak you out
On how many flies it will catch!!! Just make Shure you hang
it away from the house.... They think its flies in heat.... it stinks !!!
When they get in the house, the best fly swatter is rubbing
alcohol in a spray bottle adjusted to spray in a full choke patern.
Wet him down and watch him die!!!! It's a sporting event at
my house!!!
Horse flies are bad around my place this year
Horse flies eat gnats. You're building decoys for em!!! :)Quote:

You guys kill me. You live in the Crappie Capitol of the World and your complaining about flies and skeeters, what would you do if you couldn't catch a 10in. keeper?
Man ain't that the truth. I've got snake proof boots and chaps I wear while picking wild blackberries and I'm wearing them to the garden! I never stick my hand in to pick anything till I look around closely. That was close and I thank God for showing it to me.Quote:

(and I ain't talking about Donnie's Gnats. They stay in my tackle box like they supposed to until I go fishing.)
Brotrher-n-law is thinking about putting a gun rack on his lawnmower. Has seen two while mowing the back of my yard.
