Black Flies Program
This program involves (5) Western Kentucky Counties along the Tradewater River. This particular Black fly in a non-human biting species called "CNEPHIA PERCUAM" or the Southern Swamp water Buffalo Gnat. Problems began in the 1890's and were reduced/eliminated due to river pollution and returned 100 years later due to improving environment.
This division scouted 54 miles of river and associated creeks, determined treatment sites, handled all chemicals, and did any necessary follow up work to reduce further economic losses by the affected counties.
