Ok.. I know there are some Alaskan cabin owners here that must deal with the same thing. Flies.. soooooo many flies...
We haven't been to the cabin in 6 weeks and when we arrived today there was a 1 fly thick layer of dead flies EVERYWHERE. As gross as it sounds, its not uncommon for cabin owners around here to have this issue (even home owners). Black flies in the fall and spring is just the norm here.
What I can't figure out is how they get in. We sealed the living crap out of this building when we built it. The only thing I can think of is the windows. They are absolutely getting behind the screens as I see tons between the screen and window. I'm guessing they are somehow getting through the closed window seals. I plan to seal off the windows using plastic shrink film in the spring. That way I can see how many are actually coming through the windows.
However, I'm sure you smart fellas could suggest other places they may be getting in! Suggestions?
