AuburnJen 772 Posted May 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 I just painted those beach balls today (during a break from my lesson plan marathon). I had actually bought 5, not 6. I plan on buying much more! I found some vinyl/carpet spray paint in the garage and wow! did that stuff work out great. You can tell in the picture where I ran out on the last ball. The enamel paint is a PITA. I will be going and getting some more of that vinyl paint for the next round. I plan on having an arsenal of these babies when I go to the fort for the 4th! If people want them, they can pay me for my work! :rofl2: I will have them all painted and put in a box and spray all the adhesive on when I get there. Hopefully I will not be bitten in the process! :rofl2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo..Karla 77 Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 I think the yellow flies are selective...they don't seem that bad (yet) in the 700 loop. I have two nasty looking bites, the grandson has one small bite and DH has none. If they get any worse I will be running to Wally World to buy beach balls, paint and adhesive. We've been looking but haven't see anybody with black beach ball "decorations" anywhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PureTcrazy...rita 380 Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 When we got here thursday they almost are us up, then no more until today. When Lou and Gail came by I saw one, before long they're was a swarm! Aiden would have been able to make good use of the fly swatter, heck I may come get him tomorrow to hang out for a while!

Roller ... aka Ed 351 Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 The evening we checked in (5/5) the yellow flies were in attack mode. Then we didn't see one until last night, when they really started swarming. There were still some out this morning :argh: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dngtrumps 0 Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 I am really starting to panic about these deer flies for our upcoming trip in June. We camp all over the mid-atlantic states PA-NC and I've never come across these. I'd like to understand whether a stationary thing (like a beach ball or flower pot) would attract the flies. From what I've read on the internet, they attack moving objects.I'm all ready to attach one of the solo cups to my husband's hat and let him troll around our loop before I come out of the camper! :rofl2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
