Yellow Flies and severe allergic reactions

[seagrovegirl]

Yes it does.......it beats the other alternative!!!

Yellowflies are here? I haven't seen any...yet. My little girl gets huge bites from mosquitos. I hate to think of what a yellowfly would do.

Does the fabric softener
sheet have to be Bounce or will any kind work?

Lemongrass oil? This is for yellowflies? does it work for mosq. too?

My benchmark is that when the magnolia's bloom, it's yellow fly time! :angry:

FYI, I've yet to see the fabric softener sheets repel a bug.

bees, hornets, wasps! OH MY!! They don't bother me a bit.

But a yellow fly will leave a huge welt. Even after all these years down here. No immunity.

I just stay indoors every May and June and work on my fabulous un-tan.

Mmm pasty.

Another good reason to hate those trees.

We're leaving in an hour or so to drive to Seagrove. Are the yellow flies still there?

 

[sunspotbaby]

I'm not in Seagrove...I'm north of 98 and I've only seen one so far. My yellow fly radar is constantly on when we are outside. Been lucky ...waiting on the rest of them to show up.

Outside yesterday about 6PM we were carried off by the puckers. Hate DEET but glad to have it. Hubby got his first bite on the bottom of his foot...had to ice it down.

I'm usually a magnet, but I haven't seen any of the little bat-turds yet. (Thank GAWD!)

However, I was on the beach this morning and kept feeling tiny little stings/bites/whatever. I never saw the perpetrators in the act, but saw tiny (gnat or flea-sized) critters hovering around.

Thanks, everyone. I'd officially thank you, but there's no "Thanks" button in the lounge.

The idea behind the black ball thing is that the flies are attracted to dark colors. So wear light ones with your "Off" spray.
