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. ~~NCCowboy~~

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? ~~NCCowboy~~

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.
