1. Eliminate Food Sources

The first method we are going to discuss is eliminating food sources.  Now, one might ask what is a food source for flies.

Well, they feed on almost everything. A sink is full of dirty dishes, trash, compost, pet food lying around. All of these are ways to invite these filthy flies inside your house.

Reason being that all of this is a food source to flies. And once one of them gets inside your house, more and more will keep coming.

So, one easy way to discourage flies from getting inside your house is handling this stuff. But don’t limit your work things mentioned above. Depending on your house, there can be more food sources. If done right, you won’t need to call a pest exterminator.

2. Clean up After Your Pets

Pets are like a member of our family, to be more specific, they are children of the family. And children can be messy sometimes. This mess works quite well to attract filth-loving flies.

Know this, flies can lay up to 150 eggs at once. Plus, these pests like to lay eggs on poop. Yeah, you read that right.

Moreover, these eggs can hatch as soon as 8 hours. So, every dog poop you leave for later in your garden houses 150 more flies which will be ready the next day. This is the reason you need to stay active in your pet-related chores.

Therefore, you should handle all of these, to stop the fly infestation from getting worse. However, many things can lead to the worsening of infestation. So, you should be ready to handle all the pest-related work in general.

No one said keeping pets is going to be easy.

3. Blocking the Entrance

Like any other pests, flies get inside your house through an opening. This could be when you open the door to get inside your house or when you open the window for some fresh air.

However, if you have an extreme number of flies, there can be a problem. you see, flies plan to break into your house in large numbers. Therefore, there has to be another entryway for them, right? Right.

Flies often get inside your house through cracks and holes which are usually found in door frames and window frames. Just think about it, they aren’t quite large, so they don’t need a proper door to get inside. A crack or small opening is enough.

You can fix this by filling these cracks and holes. End of the problem.

Moreover, if you sleep with windows open. It can lead to flies inside your house. so, a good way to avoid flies and enjoy the fresh air is by installing a mesh screen in doors and windows.

It will allow air to flow in and stop all the pests like flies and moths. And when flies aren’t getting inside your house, you won’t need to call for fly pest control.

4. Use a Fly Trap

It is as simple as it gets. Use a fly trap.

You can get these things at any nearby stores or supermarkets. And if you don’t want to go outside, you can order one online. They are readily available and work quite well. The best part is they are quite cheap.

If buying one is out of option, you can even create one yourself. you just need two things, something that flies eat and something poisonous to them. moreover, you can also create a trap using water, vinegar, and soap.

Vinegar will attract flies, and as soon as they land on the water, soap will break the surface tension and they will drown in it. isn’t it quite fun? 

5. Fly Paper

We got one thing to say, Fly Paper.

While you can do origami with it, it has its benefits. Quite like fly trap these are quite easily available and works wells.

Let us tell you how this works. Flypaper is a colored paper that has glue on it. that’s all. It is simple but it is also quite genius. For as soon as the flies land on it, attracted to the bright color, they are stuck to the glue. And that is the end of the flies.

So, buy some of these and put them around your house. This is all you need to do to get rid of flies.

6. Use Plants to Keep Flies Away

If you are one of those people who are against using chemicals and artificial pest control methods, this one is for you.

You see, you don’t have to buy traps and baits, because nature has made one for you. we are talking about insect-eating plant folks.

Likes of Venus flytrap are available easily. Planting a few of them around your house will get the job done. You don’t even have to lift a finger; these plants will trap and eat all the flies themselves.

Instead, you might run into a problem of feeding them because they ate all the flies around your house. you can buy them from a plant shop, or even order them online.

This is the easiest method of fly pest control.
