I HAVE A MAJOR FLY PROBLEM

Zerlett

So...I have a major fly problem in my yard and I can NOT get rid of them. I have tried everything and there are so many in my yard its unbelievable, even if i clean it daily it doesn't matter!! I have a fly bait bag that they go into but can not get out of it and its already almost full but it is still not helping, I have bags of water hung up and still doesn't work (supposedly its a myth that keeps them away.) Is there anything else I can do?

Fly paper and a bug zapper and keep it clear of feces.

That's a difficult situation. There are so many different products out there for fly and insect control but none that I've heard can truly solve the problem besides WINTER weather. Thank God we don't have a bad fly problem over here but I've heard several people with the same problem with flies in their areas. One thing I haven't heard is an authentic solution to the problem. By chance do you have a farm in your near by area that could be contributing to the problem?

They have electric ones that plug in, I have an oversized huge one you could have if you lived near me:( I couldn't tell you where to get one I would search online.

Just a thought do you have a composed pile?  These attract the flies.  We also had a problem near the house with flies.  This stemmed from crumbling up eggs shells and putting them in the flower beds.  The eggs are a natural attraction for flies.  Once we quit that practice and a a few fly bags this took care of the flies.  I use Quickbayt fly killer. http://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.html?pgguid=c8d2ac25-139e-485f-806f-fcc81a238c12 The nice thing about this is it can be used as pellats in a jar/can/bowl to put out or if you wish you can mix with water and paint brush on items.  I do this on rafters in barn, on fence posts by composed pile.  I will even paint it on cut sections of plywood and place in high areas of the welping room in the house.
