Like flies, deer flies, flying ants, earwigs, etc etc.... They ALL get naturally worse as the heat goes up and pale back as it gets cooler... We have 2 traps (both at parameter of our frog pond/swamp) and that has been the best location for us so far. We also do the "blue bucket of doom" with goop on it for the deer flies with awesome results for just those.
Interesting , I guess that the water is the attraction? I had my first horse fly bite last week mowing. I end up with a welt the size of a dime , they can really cause a severe allergic reaction for some people. Thanks Chris , have an awesome weekend! 👍
Most species deposit their eggs around ponds, streams or swamps on overhanging vegetation such as grasses or cattails. Yellow flies congregate in shaded, humid areas on the edges of forests, rivers and creeks, avoiding large, open, sunny areas.

Oh, wow! That sucks. I’ve never had a reaction to bite but they do hurt.
