We get them in the barn every fall. They fill the cupola. I used to spray them out but now I ignore them. 50% drop dead in the spring and I just sweep them up. I open the high windows in the barn in the spring and the other 50% fly off.

Default Cluster flies!

Whenever someone speaks of cluster flies this tune comes to mind:


YouTube - Farmhouse - Phish

Yep. I refer to them using another "cluster" term which my sense of decorum will not allow me to reveal on this forum.
