What do ya do when you got your fur all fleshed an streched an hanggin in the shed an the weather turns warm? Is there something that you can put on the skins to keep the flies off? What is recommended? Sorry for all the questions, but sometimes we dont get really cold enuff weather until mid Jan an the flies come out.

get a fan on em and put the screens up...leave that fan running.


Never argue with a fool - they will drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

As of now I just have a big shelter, no sides, just a roof.I plan on encloseing but just not sure when. I can do the fan thing tho if it would help, specially durin the day time hours.

Can you spray like deep woods off or would that be a no no?

Get some kind of "sides" up, even if it is only tarps. Get a fan on them, and don't put anything on them. Then get some more perm. sides up, keep the fan, (I run one 24/7 in my shed). The flys probably won't hurt anything if you do that, and next year come up with a better plan.

A "half truth" is still a whole lie.

you have a real problem. You need to get those things dry as fast as you can.
