Our Treatment Approach
Natural-first solutions that actually work
Habitat modification has limited effect since larvae develop in flowing water. Personal protection with botanical repellents using lemon eucalyptus. Screened outdoor spaces provide relief. Fan systems disrupt flight patterns. We treat yard perimeters for temporary reduction. For Corinth's older structures, we inspect foundations and wall voids where pests commonly harbor.
Prevention Tips
✓
Wear light-colored long sleeves and pants
✓
Use head nets in severe areas
✓
Apply botanical repellents before outdoor activity
✓
Avoid peak activity times near water
✓
Install fine-mesh screening on porches
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are black flies so bad near rivers?
Black fly larvae require clean, flowing water to develop. Streams and rivers produce massive populations that emerge in late spring. Properties near moving water experience the worst problems. Populations crash in hot summer weather.
When is black fly season in Vermont and New Hampshire?
Black fly season typically runs from mid-May through late June, peaking in early June. Populations decline rapidly once temperatures consistently exceed 80°F. Deer flies extend into July and August. Both end with the first hard frost.
Are your black flies/deer flies treatments safe for Corinth farms?
Yes. We use botanical and natural methods that are safe around livestock, crops, and stored feed. Our IPM approach protects Corinth's agricultural operations while eliminating pest problems.
