What can you do for yellow flies. I live in Florida, they are so bad. What can we do to keep them away from small children?

I moved this question to its own thread. The last time it was asked was a year ago (precisely).

yellow fly - Diachlorus ferrugatus (http://entomology.ifas.ufl.edu/creatures/livestock/yellow_fly.htm)

According to the University, long sleeves and/or heavy doses of DEET (OFF, Cutter) are about the only way to keep them off.

They also suggest contacting your local mosquito management office, as yellow flies breed in the same places.
