[IBC] Deer fly trap
 

If you live in an area where deer flies are a pesky problem, read
this: http://ufinsect.ifas.ufl.edu/deerfly_trap.htm

If you've never heard of, been bitten by, or seen a deer fly,
read it and chuckle.

A "human" trap (the article primarily describes them for use on
slow-moving vehicles on farms (but a golf cart would work at
home!)) can be made as described on the web page (but that looks
silly! If that bothers you.) A Construction hard hat, painted
blue and spread with tanglefoot or, according to a letter in
FloridaAgriculture Magazine, the engine additive STP, reportedly
does well for people working in their yards, etc. (FINALLY --
something STP really works on!)

Anyway, read and take heed -- or laugh.

(We have a blue pickup truck -- hmmm. ;-)

[IBC] Deer fly trap
 

When I was a teenager, I made a model of a big dragonfly with a clay body and clear wings, and I put it on the end of a thin, springy wire, and attached it to my sunglasses when I rode my bike, so it looked like a dragonfly was flying over my head.

No deerflies.

I'm sitting here just chuckling and picturing that!
I'll bet it went well with the playing cards attached to your spokes
with clothes pins to achieve that life-like Harley-sound!!
The picture is complete when I add the red cowboy boots!
and
I don't want to forget the slide rule with clip attached to your belt!

If you were a boy this would ASSURE you of getting an ass-kickin' but, I
guess girls can get away with that stuff!

P.S. I just thought, some younger people may have no idea what a slide rule
is....It's a "manual calculator" , you can get one in an antique shop! :)

A slide is a hand held calculator that works without batteries or
another source of electric.
