Been cutting some grass around parts of the field earlier and got absolutely pasted by the Horse Flies. I'm just glad I don't react too badly to their bites, I copped about 15 on the hands along with who knows how many on my head and neck. In the end I resorted to strimming wearing my bees smock
Does anyone know of a way to clear the land of these hatefull little sods please? Last year I had a go at making a trap (based on the one on this pagehttp://extension.missouri.edu/p/G7013) which caught a few but not many.
HELP, I'm due to start cutting hay in a few weeks and can't face it with this many biters
Cheers
