We are having a problem with horse flies, which are huge! Especially when we are in our pool. Any ideas how to get rid of them?

Use a laser pointer to blind them when they land.

Swearing at them helps a bit....

Not with the actual problem, but it's the only thing I've found that makes me feel better when they are attacking. I hate those buggers and havent found a complete way to get rid of them yet.

Now I know why they're called 'horse flies'. One could put a saddle on the ones around us.
