Try this, take a clear gallon storage bag, fill with water, put in a couple of shiny pennies, tie shut and hang up by the back door. It bothers their eyes. saw this done at an out door restaurant.😃
Go to Home Depot and buy "Rescue" Disposable Fly Trap....just add water and it smells mildly similar to manure when sun warms up bag. We had a real bad fly problem near our trash bins; hanging the "Rescue" bag near by has eliminated the flies. Flies now just fly straight over to the fly trap. Cost is $4.98 before tax, and well worth the cost considering the HUGE amount of flies the trap captures. I have been using this product for several years now, and the fly trap never disappoints me. This "Rescue" product is well worth checking out per my opinion.......
Have also used the Fly trap for outside with great success. When they get inside I found "Victor Fly Magnet" . Glue trap that sticks on a window with a narrow adhesive strip. "Ortho Home Defense Fly Bait Decal" has an attractant coating that kills flies within a minute of eating. Can be applied high away from pets and children.
Thank you for your suggestions, I will try them . 😊
