How’s the flies up your way?

I'll curse myself saying it, but I've had only one deer fly, a few stable flies, a few ticks and a few mosquitoes bite me this year. We had a very cold, mostly dry Winter and a dry Spring. I think it reduced a lot of pests.

160 reminds me of a black fly.

Black flies here aren’t too bad - yet. It’s been below average temperatures for a while.

Not yet but they will be coming in August. Gnats, mosquitos and black fly's nothing worse except ticks.

Was up by the little Abitibi diversion this afternoon taking care of a nuisance beaver contract on the otter rapids hydro road.
Blackflys werent too bad but the mosquitos were savage.
Uncle buck took care of one beaver there already.
Seen a nice blackbear on the way back.

Our coastal flies are a problem one day before a wind shift to NE.

No black flies down here

Plenty of deer/sand flies though




Found a way to deal with them though

Actually been pretty good here, we don't have black flies, but the no see ums, and mosquitos are light...come mid july the greenhead flies pop, hopefully they've been cut back too...

BTLowry what is the stuff on the bottle? Thanks.

Bad here in northern Maine.

Tanglefoot

Sticky and a light coat is all you need
Almost reaches out and grabs them.
Never seen one get away from it, even when starting out with only one "foot" in it.

I save the 30 0z bottles and when one gets covered I make a replacement

Is the Tanglefoot blue or did you pain the bottle blue first?
