HOW TO CONTROL FLIES

To get rid of flies outside – It can be more difficult to deal with flies outside than inside as it may not be possible to treat areas not within your control. However, if the flies are breeding in the garden they can be controlled and even if they come from neighbouring property there are ways to minimise the nuisance.

  1. Search for possible breeding sites of flies. Remove or treat any decaying animal or vegetable matter that might provide food for maggots (fly larvae). Check and clear drains. Spray exterior walls, window frames, door frames, pergolas and other fly alighting surfaces using NO BUGS SUPER or NO FLIES.
  2. Check your compost heap. A good compost heap will not be a breading site for flies, but if it contains cooked scraps or other inappropriate material this can be food for maggots (fly larvae). Remove badly smelling material and only add vegetation to a compost heap. Spray with NO BUGS SUPER.
  3. New NO FLIES BAIT will help you control flies outdoors, particularly in areas where flies would congregate or breed. The bait is highly attractive to a wide range of fly species including house flies, blow flies and biting flies like stable flies. Place the bait well away from the house or outdoor living space so that flies are attracted away from you and your home. Flies feed on the bait and are rapidly killed, reducing the nuisance of flies outside and reducing the likelihood of flies entering your home.

       

About

Getting rid of flies in the garden will reduce their nuisance in the garden and in the home. Flies in the home usually enter from outside. Control at source can greatly reduce the flies that would enter through open doors or windows.
