Today, all shields have failed. I have 4 ultrasonic blasters, 2 insect lamps and a big electric swatter. I can kill hundreds and an ocean pours in. They all try to bite right away.
Work is impossible in the heat, with a blackfly net, and they penetrate all clothes. This is official blackfly hell (bfh). It will go on until the end of May when our dragonflies come out.
I haven't seen a true bfh since the 70's when we always went canoe camping on the long weekend. You had your nets on, but had to 'breech' to eat, and other things. Yum, yum, a spoonful of bfh.
ps went home early. Super sunny hot, with clouds of blackflies. The water is freezing. blah.

Would suppose that anyone caught in one of these clouds would be as mad as a moose.
It's ghastly when they swarm.
And they are like wasps, give a chemical signal when they have success. More come in.
