Fly traps

    I keep seeing this live trap for flies on FB. I laugh when I see it. Im like, I dont want to catch them alive, I want them dead, I want their family dead! Best thing that I've found for me is don't let any waste sit around, I pick it up immediately and I spray them with bronco spray every other day. Keeps pretty much anything that flys at bay pretty well for me. I have more issues with spiders but since they help control the flying pests as well I've learned to leave them be and let them do their thing. They don't bother the dogs even though I find them inside the houses regularly and the only real venomous spider I know of around here is the brown recluse. Not very common though and I have personally never even seen one before. The down side is walking into a web every time I either feed or pull a dog out of the kennels. Lol. I have a lot of trees so eradicating them is pretty much impossible.

    Lol well good luck with that. Don't think I could live between 2 manure filled fields. Unless they were far enough away that I would never smell them.

    Wasn't trying to convince you of anything. Battles? Wasn't trying to argue with you or convince you to live in the city. Congrats on your land. I dont like the city either, never said I did. Beautiful view.

    We ate at a friend's last night. They live in town in a neighborhood with houses damn near within pissing distance. Just on the outskirts of the country club. All the yards are manicured perfect. Everything super nice.

    On their patio I thought the flies were going to tote us off. He says he has looked everything over and sprayed and fly traps and a sort of large bug zapper. He says for whatever reason this year has been horrible.

    We live in the woods as well. Cow pasture to the left, planted pines in front, a 2 acre pond to the right and a slow moving creek as the property line in the back. I think this is where we breed the flies and mosquitoes and ship them out to the rest of the world. LOL

    The Thermo-cell by far I the best mosquito deal we have found thus far. But like all 'pesticides' at some point they will work so well they will dilute them for profit or stop selling them all together.

    Around the dogs I am a permethrin junkie. I have a diluted mix in a little hand held garden pump sprayer. In another I have a mix with a higher concentration. I can hear the dogs when I show up, "Here comes that SOB with his shit". So far this year it seems to be keeping them at bay. It was a tougher fight last year.
