Black Flies/Deer Flies questions from Seacoast residents

Black flies peak from late May through June, depending on location and weather. They breed in running water and are worse near streams and rivers. Populations decline by early July.

Black flies breed in flowing water, often miles away, and fly considerable distances. We can reduce their presence in your yard with botanical treatments but complete elimination isn't possible.

Black flies are attracted to carbon dioxide, dark colors, and movement. They're most active on humid, overcast days. Light clothing and repellents reduce attraction.

Botanical yard treatments reduce landing on your property. Personal repellents, head nets, and avoiding peak activity times help. Our treatments create more comfortable outdoor spaces.
