MARCH FLY
It will be that this time of the year , Up on
the Beach ,camping @ Noosa Freshwater or North or South. March Flies can spoil your Weekend.
I have discovered that by slow Burning of Coconut Husk ,The Smoke Smell through your
Camp ,which have a nice smell ,(husk only, not the hole rotten Coconut ) No MORE March Flies. So give it a try next Time it Works
They just Leave. I have found that some Last Year drew Blood .& it was a bad year.
Last November some of my sons contractors spent a week end camped on
the beach with me ,They Played Cricket on
the Beach they scored 28 Runs in 1/2 Hour, I won with 74 March Flies Dead .
I discovered it by accident,my son & I were been attached big time early morning last January ,
Our camp fire was still warm from the night before so I threw some coconut husk on to get the fire going as we where going to
cook a cheese, bacon & egg Damper later.As soon as the smoke & smell came the march flies went, other times I have sat by the fire & the little Sh------- s still bite
IT works don't need much smoke just the smell of the coconut husk Smouldering
Don't know about other southern states not many coconuts on
the beach,wash up.

Have a Great Day

Take some cotton with you.
Catch some and make little nooses with the cotton.
They make great pets on a lead.
Tie one at each end & watch them fight which way to go.
Or you can poke a blade of grass up their bum & let them go, very amusing watching them flying vertically.
Or rip one wing off, every time they try to take off they flip over.
Might as
well make use of them, it keeps the kids amused for ages.
