I am SO glad to know how to rid our yard of these pests safely. They are ruining our lawn. We live in the great Northwest and have a heavy infestation. Our 2 schipperkes really enjoy digging up our lawn going after the larvae so you can imagine how our lawn looks! Then after they hatch, they really “bug” me by coming inside and bouncing off our vaulted ceiling where I can’t reach them!! I’m going to treat our lawn next week!! Thanks for all the info.

I’m in Arizona and the things are EVERYWHERE. Can’t open the door at night because one of two will sneak in no matter how fast I try and shut it. I get that they don’t bother anything (we don’t have grass – it’s the desert) but I don’t want them in my house and my kids couldn’t agree more. I sympathize with the lady chasing them around with t-shirts – they’re harder to kill than you’d think and I too would like to know where they’re laying their eggs. Love the idea of eco-friendly product!

I lived on the gulf coast for three years as a child, and I saw many crane flies there. However, now back in California for many years and having just moved into a new house, I am having a whole new experience with the insects. This is our first Spring in the home, and when I get in from work in the evenings I cannot enter my home through the front walk way. The swarming crane flies are larger than anything I saw in the South, and there are always dozens of them present.

I sincerely hope EcoSMART works for us. I am deeply concerned with the well being of ecosystems, but we are overwhelmed by these things!

I always see skeeter eaters (don’t know if the actually eat mosquitos, but that’s what we call them in Texas) flying around this time of year. However, I just moved into a new house and these pests are everywhere. I walked through the yard at dusk tonight and there were hundreds of them in the grass. Would love to get rid of them. Although, they do provide good entertainment for our dogs.

Ok I hate those kamakaze bombers! Most of the information here was helpful but I live in the desert and we dont have any grass, we have a rock lawn!!! LOL My question is, where else would they lay there larvae and how do I get them out of my house, they are scaring my poor dogs to death, because I run around the house swinging a t-shirt and yelling DIE, DIE and GOTCHA! at the top of my lungs. LMAO they are driving me bonkers!

I had pretty good success while in Florida without using any pesticides. The bugs would eat a little, but never enough to cause major damage. So when I moved to Seattle recently, I thought I’d try the same method. Ha! Crane flies have destroyed my entire back lawn!
