We're over-run at the moment with horse flies. We've always had 'some', but now that we have a couple of minis, they seem to have greatly increased their population! They're good sized dive-bombers, and the foal goes about crazy when they buzz him, and his mama is getting welts from their bites, the poor thing. Someone suggested fly predators, but their website says they do not work for either horse or deer flies. I don't want to go insecticide crazy, and fly masks only protect their faces. The deer flies are just starting to come out, but their bite is no fun either.
If any of you have dealt a blow to either types of flies, or have suggestions for dealing with them, I'd love to hear it!
thanks,
