What tips can you provide me for pesky flies?

Answer by  thelostone (1457)

If they are the big everyday flies you can treat your house and hang fly paper near all the entrances to your house that are used regularly. If they are those pesky tiny little flies they make treatments for your drains which stop them from being able to breed in them.

Clean the house real good with disinfectant, discard any old food, and keep a lid on your trash cans. You can buy sticky fly strips as well.

Find a field that has alot of lavender or chamomile pick yourself a good amount of them and when you get home tie them into little bundles and hang them near your windows and doors and the flies won't come in past them. Other than that its all pesticides and I don't like them.

Make sure not leave fruit or veggies out flies are attracted to that. Also make sure you change your trash often or keep outside.

You are most likely being bothered by houseflies or gnats. Both can spread bacteria, ruin foods, and torture humans. Keep foods in tight storage, fix window screens, and dry sink drains. Place containers with apple cider vinegar, poured to the very tip, throughout you home to catch and drown them.

Flies that are born in garbage cans can be controlled by putting mothballs in the bottoms of garbage cans. It prevents the maggots, or some such thing. Tried it and it worked for us!

A great natural repellant for flies is citronella, a natural essential oil. Place a few drops in a spray bottle of warm water and spray on surfaces such as window ledges and ceiling to deter the flies. It also smells lovely!

Well basically if you want to get rid of them, use a wasp to help you. The way they get into the house in the first place is important. Do you leave windows and doors open and unattended? If so, close them immediately. Also spray some insect killer over surfaces that they are found.
