When Havana first opened, there was a terrible fly problem and we put floor fans around the dance floor (which also helped with the heat) and citronella candles on every table. These things controlled the problem somewhat but not completely and it took about a year to finally get rid of them.

I have spoken to the manager of Bonifay, Jim, and he told me of all the things they've been through to get rid of the flies, to no avail. We go to Karaoke every Monday night there, outside, and we bring out own flyswatters and have learned to cover the food to keep the flies under control. Jim says there is not much more they can think of but if anyone has any suggestions, I'm sure they would be interested.

Kitty, I did mention to Jim about those fly catching machines that zap the critters as they go near the electric charge. I forgot what he told me about that idea but I just can't wait until the flies are gone, they sure are annoying.
