Greencoachdog Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Found this on the net this morning, seems our wet weather down here has given us an unusual amout of deer flies this year! I'm thinking about buying a couple boxes: http://www.gardensalive.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_1165 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiel Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 On a good day you may catch enough for a good chowder or stew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHISHY! Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 These things actually work really really well! Very handy, especially if you're in a canoe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) If anyone is wondering, I found that these patches are available at Canadian Tire under the name Deerfly Patch. Edited May 21, 2009 by Jet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fang Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 One on the hat and back of both ankles and I think you'd never ever get bit again. I hate wearing the heavy wool socks in the summer up in Temagami but that's the only thing I've found that prevents the ankle biting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhunter Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I can see how they would work, as they work on the same principle I have been using for years to deal with deer flys. Should you not have these stickies handy, try this: When Mr. Deer fly is buzzing your head, simple put you hand on top of your head, palm down. Mr. Deer FLy will not be able to resist landing on that nice juicey piece of meat. Whack 'em with your other hand! Then, as he is stunned, hit him with a paddle to further stun him. Pour gasoline onto Mr. FLy and ignite. You can then assume that he is indeed stunned and proceed to burrying him in the ground, at a minimum depth of 4ft. Frost line and what not. Place a large boulder on top of the now filled in hole and have a Haz Mat team camp out by the rock, for a minimum of 7 days. If the rock does not move in that time frame, you will be safe to assume that the fly has met it's maker. Feel free to repeat when required!
