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

the ziplock-bag-with-water thing REALLY works. Mine is only half-full though. Only get like 1 fly a week inside.

Yea, I've seen the water bag thing too.

a couple big outside tables covered with food had some water bags over them and there were no flies to be seen.

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

Halogen lights are the ultimate bug-zapper!!!! Seriously I use them in my garage and you just get that smell. All you can really do is put up some air-freshners. Oust Fans work really well. Peace-

i'll try that, but being in my bedroom that smell makes me cringe so bad. i'm thinking of making a metal half-sphere to go over the bulb, so the little buggers cant get right up to the bulb itself.

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

For some reason over the last week or so I've had an influx of great big fat flies - the big lethargic ones that don't seem to be bothered about you being near or swatting at them. They seem to be pairing up and I'll find them squatting on my kitchen window, then another couple next to my dining room table. Even in my downstairs loo! My house is clean, I rarely have any food out and surfaces are wiped etc. They are just so disgusting and I'm terrified one of them is going to lay eggs somewhere... What do I do to get rid of them? Is anyone else similarly plagued this year?
