Hi Tommy, How about opening the windows and doors and chasing them out with
a leaf blower!   Jimmy O'

Subject: [SEL] Shop Question - Sort of On Topic

I went out to do some work in the shop this afternoon but found it 
almost impossible to do any work on the old iron.  The problem I had was 
flies, millions of them.  I've never seen so many in my life.  I went to 
the old machine shop I have in town and opened the door on it and it was 
the same thing.  Flies covered the windows until they were almost 
black.  Whats going on I don't know.  Must have something to do with our 
weather, lack of rain, cool mornings, etc.  Does anyone have any 
suggestions on how to get rid of them?  I opened all the windows and 
doors, took a broom and tried to "shoo" out as many as possible.  If 
there were a million before, I still probably have 750,000.  Does anyone 
know of a fly trap, fly or bug catcher, etc. that would be effective on 
them?  I could fog the building and kill them for the time being but 
would have dead flies everywhere and would probalby have a reinfestation 
tomorrow.  Any thoughts appreciated.
