I live in Eastern NC and come summertime we have gnats that swarm and try to lift you up and eat you up at the same time. I'm not quite sure if they're buffalo gnats though but they're certainly annoying enough. The nearest body of water is in the neighbor's property so I can't do much about preventing them from breeding. I'd rather not spray if I can and I read here in the forums that fans help deter them since they do not like air turbulence so here comes the million-dollar stupid question: where should I put the fan?
I bought a 12" industrial fan that's rated for out door use from Amazon and I was going to have the electrician mount it once he runs power to the coop.
Here's a diagram of the coop. It backs up against a copse of trees and the front faces the yard.
