My back yard is infested with flies right now, does anyone know of any way to get rid of them? They are all over the dog food and any time I open the back door we get them in the house. It’s driving me crazy

How to get rid of flies!!!

Do you have a chicken coop, compost pile or kids that for some reason can’t close doors?
Here’s my strategy. After dark I turn off all the lights in the house except for the bathroom. All the flys make there way in there. Shut the door and commence with the killing spree. The inter webs is full of DIY fly traps that work well.

Good luck!

I have a part time taxidermy business and we also have chickens. Last year the flies were horrible. This year I waged war on them with the first one I saw and they havent been that bad because I have kept up with them.

Go to the feed store or tractor supply and get several traps and granuals to put out. Also get after them with a fly swatter.

Isn't Golden Malrin made specifically for fly control?

I've heard it is good for coon control.

Also reported to work if you put a penny or pennies in the bag.

I think it’s bologna.

I put an old towel up on an outdoor table, usually folded and placed in an old cookie sheet. wet the towel and sprinkle liberally with Golden Malrin. It draws the flies to it, so put it a little ways away from the house.

Flies have been abnormally bad at my house too this summer.

I'll have to try some of these

Heard today having a Martin bird house and the martins that live in them help reduce flies. Anyone heard this before?

I bought my buddy a Thermacell the other day, he says it not only eliminated the mosquitoes but the flies also...might try it in an area. Maybe just a citronella candle burning may work.
