How Do I Get Rid Of Flies In My Apt..?

solaris=amazing · 10-09-2005, 12:39 AM

Ever since the person upstairs moved out, we've got so many damn houseflies. I honestly think that women put some sh*t in the walls or something, and it's rotting away causing flies in our apt (which is below hers)..

Anyway, what's the best way to get rid of them..? Literally i just counted over 20 in the kitchen...i didn't wanna go nuts with RAID cause that stuff stinks...

Anyone here of fly tape..? Does it work good..?

BTW i checked for old food anywhere..nothing..there's no cause of our apt having flies...they're just here.

Funny thing is, this is a 1 bedroom apt, with 2 a/c's keeping it at like 68degrees.. Flies don't like that..? Why don't they fly out when i leave the door open..?

Fly tape works good if you don't mind dead flies hanging from the ceiling. Spread some honey out on a paper plate or something, that has worked in the past for me. They like the honey, but they get stuck on it... fun to watch.

I was in the electronic doohicky store the other day and saw an electric fly swatter... it was shaped like a tennis racket and it was battery operated. Apparently you shock the fly to death. Whatever happened to the old fashioned wire and plastic fly swatters? Or a rolled up newspaper for that matter?

DAMN jessica alba is my favorite...

Lol..awesome sig.

Thanks guys, i read up on them. They lay eggs that turn into maggots, then larvae then flies in like 6-12 hours. I looked all around my apt and didn't find any "breeding grounds". Tomorrow i'm gonna kill them all with RAID........ I seriously think the women that moved out put LITERALLY horse sh*t in the walls or something (she worked at the racetrack).

She didn't like the landlord and stiffed them with the rent $$ also.

i'd say loads of fly paper, but that shit looks nasty.....RAID THE BASTARDS!!!!!!!!and get 2 spray cans so you can John Woo them all!!!!

Yo, it's on tomorrow...them flies are gonna get f**ked up..lol.

I'm gonna try and find a pesticide spray that doesn't smell to bad. Actually, funny thing is you can use air freshener to spray them, they fall to the ground..STOMP....no smell..just bug guts.

I literally just counted 23 flies on the ceiling/walls in the kitchen.

Tomorrow....it's on..

NAAAAAASTY...

I was reading up on flies, mainly houseflies and it said they lay there eggs in fruit or vegetables...rotting that is. Not fresh fruit.

So i go around, look over every inch of the kitchen....THERE IT IS.. The source of these motherf**kers....a rotted onion and half an apple under the kitchen storage shelves.. I get a hanger, and make it a makeshift long "hook thingy"..lol.. All over the wet, rotting, smelly ass fruit/vege there was magots..and old carcuss from the flies..

The smell was like a dead animal. So i cleaned the area, windexed the f**k out of everything. Tomorrow i'm gonna go ahead with operation "fly kill". To get rid of these f**kers.

Jeez, beer, flies, rotting fruit=an eventful evening.

On a side note:i must get laid...

BUG BOMB!!!!!! Seriously I had that same problem in my garage a couple of years ago. I went to clean it out and there were like hundreds of flies flying around with maggots all over the place. I set off 2 "fresh smelling" bug bombs and sealed the place up and let it sit for 12 hours. After airing it for an hour i went on a cleaning spree. After cleaning the entire garage and finding no source of the flies, i pulled the freezer away from the wall and found a bag of apples that was like liquid. Bug bombs work great but if you have a serious infestation(like i did) i would recomned using twice as much as they say. ONE THING!!!!!! TURN OFF ALL ELECTIC APPLIANCES AND PILOT LIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!! ever watch mythbusters? Peace-
