I want to use today's post to give credit to Dr. Russell F. Mizell, III, Professor
of Entomology at the North Florida Research and Education Center (a unit of the IFAS Extension of the University of Florida). It is his work upon which my deer fly trap umbrella is based, and it was his website about his Trolling Deer Fly Trap that inspired me to make the umbrella trap in the first place. Here is the link to his excellent and informative website.
Welcome to my deer fly blog. This blog documents my experience of trapping thousands of deer flies at my house (which is in the woods) using Tanglefoot Tangle-Trap Sticky Coating on blue plastic cups attached to a black-and-white umbrella. I trap hundreds of deer flies each day in the mid-morning and then I can work outside all day (even without a hat) and not be bothered by a single deer fly. This blog describes my method and presents my data. (Click on a date below to jump to that day’s post.)
