I had a brief warm up this week where I'm at, and it reminded me of why I absolutely hate brewing in the Summer: flies.
I guess a few flies didn't get the memo that it's still Winter, and had about 3 invade Saturday. I have 2 of those fly tape rolls hung in the garage, two locations, but they seem to only catch the dumbest of house flies and a few gnats here and there. The others happily buzz around them, paying them no attention. I know it is just a matter of time before one ends up in wort during a kettle->fermenter transfer. Otherwise, they just aggravate the crap out of me.
Anyone use special fly tape or those lights you see in grocery store delis? Any other suggestions, besides brewing with the garage door down and using CO to kill them?
