But with each passing summer, the struggle against the black fly invasion seems to get harder and harder.

From bug spray to head nets, there are plenty of tactics that Mainers use to try to keep these tiny terrors at bay. But despite their best efforts, the black flies keep coming back, year after year. It’s enough to make you wonder if they’re secretly plotting to take over the state.
