    Not yet, but the magnolias are blooming and that's my timeline for yellow flies.

    Re: Yellow flies?

    I live on Baker Canal and when I got home last evening from having been out of town for a few days the yellow flies were here to greet (BITE) me. Hate those things...am so allergic to them. Last year I had Florida pest control do their mosquito spray around the exterior house walls & yard. It also helped control the yellow flies all summer long. I've had them spray this year also. It doesn't eradicate the yellow flies but it helps tremendously...otherwise in my neighborhood they'll just eat you alive. I'd much rather deal w/ the chemical spray effects than those truly wicked fly bites!

    Thanks for the warning. My dog and I (and hopefully hubby if he can get away) are arriving on Sunday.

    SoWal with biting flies is better than here anytime.
