Km: KILL THEM! Seriously, if every runner killed ever horse fly that landed on them, I think we might make a dent in the population. Ok ok, not really, but I really HATE horse flies. They take over Umstead for like 3-weeks every summer, and we just started marathon training, it just seems unfair! So, as I am not about to not run in Umstead for the next almost month... BUG SPRAY! I read through the thread, and couldn't stop laughing at some of the comments, and about halfway down I realized that they were talking about horses and not people.
Unfortunately, I tend to believe what that grad student in entomology said... bug sprays are not effective against horse flies because they're too freaking big and you'd need a dose that might harm small kids (or small runners). DANG IT!

ReplyDeleteor you can use my homemade smoothie ingredient. Everybody who tried it seems to repel from me so maybe it would work with the horse flies.
