I can remember them horsefly's on horses. You could rub the back of your hand down the horse and have it covered with blood from the flies. When they bit you it seemed they also took out a chunk of yourself. Sometimes it seemed as if they ate meat.
For the animals you may be able to purchase a rub [ long tube like thing saturated with stuff to keep flies away] .
For people it's easiest to limit outside time till the Horse flies go away! [img]/forums/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Fly Preditors kick A$$. My horses were a huge burden in the summer spraying in the morning and after work and on the weekends. I tried Fly Preditors and we don't have flies problems anymore.
