18 years and was thinking the same thing this morning! Was wondering if something had died and hid on my porch...

I sprayed wasp spray on the ground near my trees, in the garage, all over where they swarm. They are massive this year.

Sorry. I will try to shower more often and start using deodorant.

The flies are pretty much a syndrome throughout the Southland.  We're seeing epic hatches at our place and we spray....use fly predators and trap them.  A rainy season and good grass crop grows a good crop of flies as well.

I enjoy fly fishing and tying my own flies.  Each one helps in a small way to reduce the flies here at the ranch.

Jim... thanks for my laugh of the day. My philosophy is that:  outside they're flies... inside they're cat toys.   cheryl o7o
