Cactus Juice. Get it at For the Health of It in Blue Mtn.
The flies will be gone as soon as the north wind dies down and the sea breeze comes back. I went for a swim around 3 pm and the wind was out of the south, no flies then.

Well, if they hadn't gotten rid of the Dog Fly Program! Perhaps those who did that should go around and swat flies for us?

I got eaten alive when the dog fly plane was spraying poison. The benefits were nominal compared to the risk associated with spraying poison randomly in the air for all to breath--human and animals alike.

Good riddance to the poison spraying. Now if the mosquito spraying could only be halted too. :D

You're deluded... I don't believe you or any of us would want to live here without mosquito control.


I think there are a lot more people than you think that would be happy to live without the spraying for mosquitos.
