A dead squirrel near my house produced a crop of the largest, toughest, most aggressive blow flies I've ever seen. Each takes at least two full swings of a swatter to kill, and sometimes a third and a squeeze for good measure. I've been killing at least 10 per day, and they come in waves. I can't reach up high, so I have to wait for them to come within striking distance. Get them every Summer, but not like this. I've been having dark fantasies of a fly equivalent of ant poison, but alas, no such thing exists. I've been meaning to do some baking, but I really can't under the circumstances. --- Cuteness is justice! It's the law. ... Copied to Clipboard!

The Apple Cider Vinegar trick. It works great. I used it when something died under my house and a million flies made their way in through a cracked vent.

My sister gave me a can of fly poison, and it works quite well. Farm & Dairy CV-800. I don't know where she got it, though. A spritz on the window not only killed them in minutes, it has kept them away for the last couple weeks. Highly recommend. --- Abba Zabba, you my only friend. ... Copied to Clipboard!

If you don't want to use apple cider there are pre-made traps that have what is described as 'essence of putrescent eggs' in a similar set-up. It's basically a recycled 2-liter soda bottle with an inverted cone lid for flies to travel down and then they can't leave. I used to put those in the backyard and literally half the bottle would be filled up with fly corpses after a week or so. We're talking thousands of the bugs. If you have a serious fly problem that'll fix it. --- "I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me." -Cao Cao ... Copied to Clipboard!

i had a bad drain fly problem one year and threw a bunch of stuff at it. they completely ignored the apple cider traps, the wine seemed to get some but not a pronounced amount, same with a bottle of beer. found another that suggested a mixture of sugar and white vinegar, again not much of a result. what finally got them was this https://www.heb.com/product-detail/raid-fly-ribbons/1546904. they look really stupid hanging around your kitchen but it's preferrable to flies all over the sink. After a day or two there are enough dead bugs that you can toss it and replace it. That combined with closing the drains up at night took care of the problem in about a week --- I pray god will curse the writer, as the writer has cursed the world with this beautiful, stupendous creation, terrible in its simplicity, irresistible in truth ...

I appreciate you guys offering suggestions, but these are huge blow flies, and the best you can do for those is to have spray applied outside (pest control guy already did that).

Anyway, thanks for the advice guys! I'll see about getting a salt gun---it'd be nice to be able to snipe the ones that won't come close enough to swat. I'll also get a fly trap just in case they turn out to be effective here. I don't know if it's the kind of blow fly or what, but the pest control guy said indoor poisons won't work, but he did spray outside. --- Cuteness is justice! It's the law. ... Copied to Clipboard!

when it comes to just normal flies I just use febreeze. I learned about it when dealing with a bee that found its way into my computer room. Spray the bee with febreeze, cuts off the oxygen supply for a moment, and move it outside. As for flies that come inside, that's what the wet/dry vacuum is for lol. ... Copied to Clipboard!
