I ended up rolling a ball of duct tape and stuck the sticky wad on the top of my hat,fixed the some beeches,then horse flies biting thru my tshirt, drawing blood,huge welts,,thankgoodness for benadryl. Feel sorry for the cattle and horses,4 legged buffet.

Agree, don't know if its all the moisture this yr or what, but they are crazy. Fricken horse flies do leave a nasty one, Benadryl certainly helps.

Not bad around the yard until the cows graze close to the yard, then I am just one of the herd. LB

No, I don't own such a contraption.

But if tortured by the biting flies of Beelzebub I'd be trying anything - including that nonsense!

When I was a young Lad, there used to be butterflies and dragonflies all over the place. Now you very seldom see any.
