View Full Version : I HATE flies!
There are a ton of flies out right now. They are getting in my house. How do I get them out without spraying pesticides or running around with a flyswatter all day?

Its not a trick but we some how got flies in our basement so bad when we first moved in that we had to hang the fly paper strips. That was the only way we could get rid of them!

This was the best I could find....
Then turn to what may be THE oldest manufactured organic pest control product available. Good old non-toxic flypaper will capture pretty much every fly in the house overnight. First made in Grand Rapids, Michigan back in 1887 (“Catches germs as well as flies” was an early slogan), flypaper remains unsurpassed at solving indoor fly problems over a century later.
Flies are attracted to light and like to land on vertical surfaces, so carefully pull the length of sticky paper all the way out of its tube, hang it about a foot away from a lamp or other light source in a fly-filled room, turn off all the other lights and then close the door. In the morning, all the flies in that room will be stuck tight to the paper. Take it down using a big sheet of newspaper (so you don’t get stuck to it!) and throw it away. Or use one of the more modern designs that captures flies with sticky stuff "invisibly" using a concealed trap and lure.
