Title: Mixed Emotions
Post by: Roger2561 on May 15, 2016, 04:54:11 AM
Okay, I have mixed emotions with spring finally here.  I love the warmer weather, I'm able to get a lot of yard work done.  But, those darned little black flies are atrocious this year.  Thursday evening was clearing an old fence from a neighbors field.  I spent a bit over an hour working out there and there were times when I thought the black flies were going to carry me away.  I'm convinced I lost a unit of blood due to those dang thing!  They should be pretty much gone in 2 or 3 weeks so they won't be around forever but it's going to be a long 2 or 3 weeks.   Roger

Get yourself a mesh bug suit. I have no trouble working outside during black fly season with one of these on. They are also effective for mosquitoes and deer flies.

I use ounce dryer sheets tucked in my hat, they seem to stay of you but still are there.

Guess were lucky here in Indiana, might be a few of what you call black flies around, but not enough to be a nuisance.

Skeeters and deer flies though are a different story.
