Here’s a mind-blowing fact: horse flies are terrible at flying in wind. A simple box fan on your porch creates a gust that they can’t navigate—they’ll be swept away like leaves in a storm. It’s like having your own personal air shield.
You can also buy horse fly traps (big black balls that mimic animals). Hang them 20 feet away from where you sit—the flies will go for the ball instead of you. It’s like setting a decoy in a video game. Cheap? No. Satisfying? Absolutely.
