Here is the link to the post.

Thanks for the amazing coverage here!! So thankful to the great RRP team with all they did...

I have NO answers for these biting flies...but,I do have a suggestion for this box for next year..its not an original idea, but what they did to the Topeka box after chicks kept falling to their deaths while attempting to go to the outside rung. They built a large platform that extended from the box, past the outside rung. If they could do that, with raised sides for this box (Topeka's platform doesn't have sides), then when the kids leave the box while trying to get away from the bugs, they might stay put and not fall.
