LOL, I just had a friend come and catch some toads for her garden. (Not pleased w/ the toads, they try to get in the house.) No flies in Berks County PA I'm happy to report and spent most of Saturday in Lancaster County and the only time I saw flies was when we were petting baby calves, but then again, I would expect a fly or two in that scenario. Calves make a lot of manure <G>.

No other animals here except for my frogs, and they're indoors and they'd EAT any fly that came near them. hmmm maybe that's the answer, buy more frogs :) --Regina 3 GSDs in Somerset, NJ On Mon, Jul 11, 2011 at 10:31 AM, <Pinehillgsds@xxxxxxx> wrote: > Why are so many having issues w/ flies?
