Why do you not include two common very obnoxious flies found most everywhere outdoors in Minnesota, especially rural areas. Stable Flies and Deer flies? (maybe I just missed them)

Martin County Minnesota

Good Morning Steve, 

Thank you for contacting the U of M Extension Service. 

We are volunteer Extension Master Gardeners and Tree Care Advisors. We answer yard and garden questions on the website. 

I am not sure I understand your question, or where you think we need to address the two types of flies you mention in your email. 

Here are a few links from the U of M Extension Yard and Garden website on various flies around the farm and yard:

Hope this helps!
