Hi Valerie,

What kind of flies (regular house flies or fruit flies)? Inside or outside?

Wendy gave you a good reference for pesky fruit flies. They arrive on the fruit you bring in from the market of stores, so wash that well to get rid of the eggs. Remember the eggs can live in the sink drain. If possible put the fruit in the refrig.

For house flies make sure you have intact screens and doors, that will keep them out. Another draw for them is animal waste and anything rotting, if you have any of that get rid of it if at all possible.

Every year we also have an invasion of these type of flies, usually in the bathroom for some crazy reason yet to be discovered. I go in there with a fly swatter and a vacuum cleaner, shut the door and take care of them that way.

I live on a farm, so we have flies. I kill them outside so they don't end up in the house. I use fly bags. They work very well, but they do stink. I have one about 20 feet from my patio so we don't smell it.

Here's an interesting video that might help you.
