    Yellow Flies
    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).

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