I just wanted to let you all know about something great that we have
discovered. We started spreading tiny biteless wasps in our yard
this spring and we have only seen 5 flies in our yard this summer.
We have cattle, horses and the 4 dogs. It has been so nice to be
able to go outside with no flies driving us nuts. I was really
unsure about doing this, but I now know it works. They ship them
once a month and you place them where flies lay their eggs. My in-
laws live down the road and have no animals....they have more flies
than we do. Not having to spray chemicals is so nice!

Also, has anyone been using dryer sheets to keep the mosquitos away?
Is it safe to rub on the dogs?

gnats. (along with the fleas and ticks) I can't mow the grass w/o
deep woods off.  It's blood sucking time here in PA.
