Horse flies are sun worshippers. They love open, sunny fields and avoid deep shade like a vampire at a garlic festival. So, if you’re hiking or picnicking, set up camp under a tree or a tarp. It’s not just cooler—it’s a no-fly zone for these bloodthirsty beasts.
And if you’re by water? Stay near moving streams rather than still ponds. Horse flies breed in wetlands, but they’re lazy hunters—they prefer targets in open, bright areas. Use that intel like a secret map.
A fun comparison
Think of horse flies as the coworkers of the insect world—loud, annoying, and they always show up when you’re trying to relax. But with a little planning, you can be the office they avoid.
