  Afternoon storm rolled in sharp over The Acreage, and bless it for knocking the humidity down a notch, but now the flies are fixin’ to be a mess again. If y’all keep horses, it’s a good day to refresh fly traps right quick.

  Afternoon storm came in hard today—sky went black over The Acreage around 3:30, and now it's a muddy mess by the barn. Flies are loving this humidity, y'all, so keep those traps fresh if you're fighting the same battle I am.

  Y’all, anyone tried those fly sprays with essential oils? I’m about ready to see if Curaleaf sells something for flies! This season’s been a mess, and these critters are relentless.

  Had a little shower out here in The Acreage just now, and the humidity cranked right back up. If you're fighting flies like I am, make sure you don’t let that standing water sit too long, y'all.

  These flies are a mess right now, bless Florida and its humidity. Anybody had good luck with the feed-through stuff? I’m about to call Dasilva Equine right quick and see what they think, but I’d love to hear how it’s worked for y’all.

  Flies are a mess right now, bless this late-season heat. Anyone tried fly predators from the feed store on Belvedere? I’ve been rotating sprays and traps but reckon I need to up my game right quick.

  If anyone’s waiting on feed or hay from up PGA, it might be a while, bless. All lanes westbound are shut for a big wreck. Reckon it’s a good day to double-check you’re stocked up.

  Turnout was quick this morning—flies are a mess right now despite every trap we've got set up. Hoping for a dryer cooler front soon, though I reckon that's wishful thinking this early in the season. Anyone else using Dr. Dym for this year's vaccines?

  Flies are still a mess here, but I reckon this heat isn't helping. Tried one of those big trap bags—picked it up at the feed store near Glades Road—and it filled up right quick. Anyone got a better option?

  We’re up to our elbows in fly spray and fly traps out here, but it’s a losing battle this week. I reckon John Siena could teach me a thing or two about plants that’ll help in the barnyard. Anybody tried planting fly-repelling herbs near the barn?
