I'm not sure what the connection is between badminton rackets and horses?

Horse-and deer flies go for blood. They go for children, adults, dogs, deer, cows, pigs, horses, sheep. While they breed in moist environments they do not like water which is why increasing the chlorine in a pool won't really have any effect. Badminton rackets work well but it's really hard to explain to your dog, or your spouse, why you just smacked them hard even though they hadn't done anything wrong.

Down where aylad lives that horseflies have license plates and fly on the right side of the road, stopping at railroad crossings!

touche', Carl!!

His point is that our horses are in a pasture across the street from our house. We live outside the city limits in a very rural area and most people around here have animals ranging from cows and horses to cats and dogs to pet wolves. So--we have some very large and well-fed horseflies around here!

kinda like Fl and Ga, where the cockroaches carry switchblades and demand "protection" money, or other gratuitous gifts! lol

I will try to raise th CL level a bit. Hopefully they won't be as bad later in the season.

Thanks
