Man-eating flies

[Poolsean]

Shuttlecock? We don't need no steenkin shuttlecocks!

I get the smaller housefly that gnaws the heck out of your leg, especially when I sit by my canal to fish.

.22 is a little risky in the city. Badminton racquet may still be a little big on the holes for houseflys...any other suggestions?

Do flystrips or poison baits "attract" them away from humans?

We raise cattle, and the traps/poison barely make a dent in the flies. If you have a covered area, you can try the tape strips.
