So now that the Dog Fly plane is gone, what now?

SKIN SO SOFT from AVON does WORK!!!

I sell it directly out of my trunk whenever people see my AVON sign on my car.

I have had GREAT RESULTS with it.

It is inexpensive and makes life pleasant plus it moistens your skin.
It has hundreds of other uses also.

I HAVE PLENTY $7 - and up depending on the size.

Now that our esteemed leaders have gotten rid of the Dog Fly program, what do we do about the Dog Flies? I understood that it was the responsibility of the Mosquito Control to explore this, but I guess the average citizen now must step up and investigate the problem. I don't know about you, but I have begun that investigation, because the Dog Fly problem hasn't gone away, now we are just not protected, while the problem has gotten worse.

Everyone will be issued a fly swatter, or someone can come up with a new line of beach wear, involving nylon netting.

How much to hire you off duty to shoot at them with a shotgun? :funn:

I look for TDC to buy bugzappers and put up and down the beach.
Where I'm from, we call that redneck entertainment. You bring all your friends and a case of beer, you've got quality bonding at it's best.
Now if you throw in the shotgun, well, after the beer, you could have problems.

I had emailed the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, Public Health Entomology Research and Education Center (PHEREC), concerning the Dog fly situation as it stands, and received a call November 19 from Dr. John L. Petersen Professor, Extension / Outreach and Larvicide & Resistance Assessment Section Leader, who told me that my email had been received by 3 PHD's, and were in 100% agreement with me. As a research center, that were dumbfounded that this decision was made without any science involved. They invited me to the convention in February in Panama City. This issue has not died, it is still going on.

Would you like to cite some sources? Is this convention open to the public? Isn't this horse decomposing?

It really does work!

Skin so soft does NOT work!!!

They did comparison testing and it ranked FAR below all the other bug repellents.

Actually, I did my own comparison test and yes, it does work. I sold it for 13 years!

Just because a small number of people holler loadly, doesn't mean the majority of people agree with the noise!

The Public Health Entomology Research and Education Center (PHEREC) is the state-funded, public health entomology research center of Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, a land grant university. PHEREC is located in Panama City, Florida. PHEREC is administered as a research center of the College of Engineering Sciences, Technology and Agriculture (CESTA).




PHEREC is perhaps best known as "the insecticide-testing center" for Florida mosquito control. This reputation came as a result of extensive chemical, equipment and procedural evaluations that have been and continue to be conducted on mosquito adulticides and larvicides. Other major historical contributions of the Center include:

Collection of basic biological information necessary to understand the dog fly problem in Florida;
Development of the dog fly control program;
Development and maintenance of mosquito resistance data in Florida;
Development of an abstracted literature database on pesticide effects on non-target organisms;
Rearing and testing mosquito biological control agents;
Development and evaluation of trapping and other alternative control and surveillance systems for public health arthropods;
Publication of free extension entomology guides (EntGuides) on biology and control of public health arthropods;
Over 200 scientific publications; and,
Provider of numerous public health arthropod training activities (e.g., Dog Fly Identification & Control Workshop, Panhandle Mosquito Control Workshop, Southeast Regional Public Health Pest & Vector Management Conference, Science Teacher Workshop and Florida Mosquito Control Association Short Courses).

They were in agreement with what? Can you include your email here? Or is it somewhere posted already?

Do you also mean to say they were dumfounded that a decision was made to stop spraying? I thought there was a consensus that dog flies are a nuisance but not a health hazard. If so then it's a simple decision on what we decide to spend our money on isn't it? Why would anyone be dumfounded?

What convention are you talking about?

I'm confused?

I'm with Kurt, what did they agree with?

A lot of people used to think that asbestos, lead, and DDT were all great ideas too.

I have never been one to get too wrapped up with what "they" say. It works great for me so I did not have to look into any studies about it. Have you tried it? Maybe it does not work for you????

Can we save the bug repellent works/doesn't work cat fight for another thread. Personally skin so soft doesn't work for me, but it does work for my sister. On the other hand my sister could find a mosquito in the Arctic.

The Florida Mosquito Convention in February. The problem was that no factual data was given before the decision was made. No one really knows what will happen now. The alleged consensus unfortunately wasn't that of probably the majority. Just those who hollered the loudest.

Looks like they're pulling someone's leg. According to this they've already had the meeting.
