[QUOTE="KDM, post: 330141, member: 314"] Enough time to care about other peoples deer herd. I'm not the one taking pics of the dead deer. However, I'm about done with giving a shit. The game and fish along with a bunch of other folks seem to feel the same way. Maybe that question should be posed to the game and fish. You're paying them to protect the deer herd aren't you?? 1. I've treated slow moving water such as the overflows from sewage lagoons with methoprene and had considerable reductions in adult counts from surrounding surveillance sites. The populations reductions were not as significant as from a contained water source, but they were enough to reduce biting complaints for the next couple months. The product moves with the water as we used a time release formulation that kept the product moving downstream to settle in the slower areas where the larval forms of the flies tend to congregate. So using it in a small stream or creek could also work. I've seen it. 2. Those flies are called "Picture Wing Flies" from the family Ulidiidae formerly Otididae. They overwinter as adults so cold weather is not a problem. They show up in the fall and then again in the spring. They are very easy to kill off, but you have to balance that with using pesticides inside the home with how much of a problem they really are. They don't bite, they don't eat anything, so if it's just a nuisance thing, you might want to think it over. [/QUOTE]
