A Few Tips on How to Keep Out House Flies

These little monsters can become irritating quite quickly. The can spread disease and your life would just be way better without them.

Flies

• Whack it with a fly swatter. It’s not always the easiest thing to d. But if you have only one or two house flies in your home, it can be the most effective way to get rid of these. Sticky fly paper can also help to trap the periodic fly. Non-residual aerosol insecticides can kill flies they contact, and residual fly insecticides can be sprayed around doors and windows—follow all label directions when using any insecticide.
• Get rid of the attractants. If there are more than a couple flies, or you are constantly having issues, you need to determine what is attracting the flies and get rid of it.
  • Indoors: Spills, drips, or leaks left untended; fruits or other foods left out on a counter-top or table; pet foods or water—or just about any other unsanitary area in which the flies can feed and breed.
  • Outdoors: Dirty trash areas or unlidded containers; dog feces left in the yard; accumulated rainwater or organic material—or, again, just about any other matter on which flies will feed and breed.
• Keep flies out. Flies originate and breed outdoors, then fly inside through openings in search of food and water. Eliminate openings by keeping doors and windows in good repair and closed when not in use; seal gaps and cracks, such as areas around vents; plug weep holes with nylon or small-holed screening.
