And I mean house flies. Anyone else cover up with them. Never seen them this bad. Any way to get rid of them other than a fly swatter of fly strip?

Yep their pretty bad here too.

They are really bad here too. Was out picking some fresh basil yesterday, and there are hundreds of baby black flies around my herb garden. No idea where they came from; I've never seen so many baby flies.

Best thing to get rid of flies is the disposable rescue fly traps. Stick with the rescue brand, and stick with the disposable. For whatever reason, the others just don't work as well. They stink, and they attract lots of flies, so hang it outside away from doors or windows, and away from where you will be hanging out.


As for getting the ones already in your house - do yourself a favor and get a bug-a-salt gun. It's not the most effective fly killer by any stretch, but it is by far the most fun.

flying insect spray

if it flies, it dies.

Resue makes a good strip , i got mine at Lowe's

I thought that the hard freeze in February would put a hurt on them, but just the opposite

This: They smell like a rotting carcass after a day or two-use with caution. I hung one 10 foot from my back fence in a cow pasture.

Don’t fight it...change the dynamic and just turn into the skid. Westside got a Venus flytrap and now he likes to see flies in the house.

We’re cover up in flies, ants, knats and mosquitos. Been here 38 years and don’t remember any of them ever being this bad.

I've seen worse problems.

my dyna trap is working in overdrive killing all the bugs on my deck.
with the DT it attracts the flies to the trap because the smell of all the other dead bugs inside of it.
its kind of fun to watch them get sucked into it.

I sprayed most of the yard with ortho bug b gone yesterday, this morning not a bug to be found.

ordered 3 of the venus flytraps from the link the other day, gonna be fun if any do get inside.
