Re: Help, what can I use on my over winter for Black Flies? CNY
I'm hearing the black fly is most predominant May to mid June.
Having something (fan) to keep the air moving can help to keep fly's & mosquitoes out of an area.
Wetting with a repellent and hanging a few rags around the cage area could also be beneficial.
Not sure if Citronella repels black fly's, it has been said something with Deet in it will.
Personally I prefer to use natural solutions that wouldn't necessarily be harmful if a wild would mess
with it. Lemon extract can be used in place of Citronella.
A natural home made repellent: 2 cups water, 1/4 cup of vinegar, 10 drops of spearmint, mint or peppermint essential oil.
