Too Many Flies. Help!!!

HI, All....please read my response in Box #6! It has been very effective for me...and sure is a topic of conversation..LOL!

Yes, I agree this way, and often used in the food stalls.

i read that the reason why this works is because flies have poor eyesight. when light reflects on the plastic bag with water they think it's spider webs

The candles method work me as well. But then, we don't always have flies swarming our house. Just a couple of times, if I remember correctly. We have these tea light candles, and we put them in their transparent candle jars. Set them on the coffee table or on the dining table and the flies just don't come near us.

i think one of the neighbors take care of chickens, but they've had it for months now and our fly problem started only a few days ago. regarding the candles, ive tried them too, strawberry, ocean scents and unscented ones. no use. even the citronella candles. i even bought the oil that you have to put on a burner. the smell surrounded the whole house but it seems that the flies are immune to it.

The candles method always work . But it only work for a couple of flies. I ever seen a restaurant using a lamp ,looked like ultraviolet lamp, they said it was for avoiding flies- alot of flies-. But I don't know what is the lamp's name

i think we only have one tomato plant let me see if i can cut a branch to shoo the flies away. i'll just have to make sure that my mom is asleep first

Hello my friend ddaguno Ji, It was a great and very strange experience for all of us. Our younger grandson used playu with frogs and lizard. But Cocroatches were missing, which is very nasty. We had wooden furniture spraed aroiund dated more than 100 yrs old and some furnitures were of reycled wood. May God bless You and have a great time

wow... that must have been an experience. i wouldnt be sure if i'd enjoy my stay in that hotel. my skin is really sensitive and it can be proved by the marks that i have all over.

Thank you for your response above, stanley! Contrary to popular belief, flies are not just invading your environment because of the state of your cleanliness, or surrounding cleanliness...they travel for miles and miles, and there is enough excrement and dietrous in the environment (actually anything decaying)to keep them alive for centuries! An attic is usually infected, and can be best controlled by eliminating in winter or hibernation time! Like many other insects (cockroaches)they evolve FAST! I am a bit hypervigilant and have lived on my property for 32 years and am ANTI chemical..so anything simple (dang-plastic is bad)and less invasive..I will give a try! Cheers!

we have tried screening in one room and it really made the room hot and stuffy.

was it horse radish or moringga leaves... well, we probably watched different shows i'll try this our later

I also annoy the flies and it's very hard to kill them compeletly. So the best way is to spray something on your body, it may drive them away. Wish you out earlier.

they're not scared of smoke even a bit. i have noticed that they have even headquartered above the place where all the smoke goes when we cook using wood. and that really makes a lot of smoke

i've noticed that they like vinegar more than water

a bit expensive for me plus i'd have to pay for shipping. i've been looking for similar products here in the Phil. but i haven't found any in stores.

do you know what the name of that chemical is? i hope it's available in poultry stores

check and check ive used both of them and i like the sticky paper more than the spray. kinda scared that pesticides will get in my food.

true... but i dont know anybody here who could help. ive asked someone from town but they only fumigate for mosquitoes

yeah... really annoying i don't know why, but that candle thing doesnt work with the flies here.

ok, this would probably kill the flies inside. but what about those ones outside? we cant live with windows closed. we dont have a/c so we'd suffocate. once we open the window the ones left alive will just come back in

Hi pergammano, this is the first time I've heard this kind of technique and yes it would look funny. As if, some kind of Chinese charms that is hang on doors and windows to attract good luck. Anyway, it might be a crazy idea but as you have said it works for you, I guess I'll try it too. Thanks for sharing.

i have seen this too but havent actually tried it. will do first thing in the morning... hopefully it works

this is similar to one of the suggestions but your has additional dish detergent. i'll go on and add a drop now. thanks

i use off lotion but it only works with mosquitoes. and regarding the spray, we do use them but only on limited areas of the house because im afraid if we digest insect spray it'll cause us more harm than being friends with the flies

electric fan works a bit. but it still cant shoo all of them away
