Flies are a nuisance to all homes. Flies can be found during warm weather and any warm moist areas and materials. Animal manure, human excrement, garbage, decaying vegetable material and ground contamination with organic matter will attract flies. Horseflies females will suck blood and males feed on plant juices. Their bites can be painful. Horseflies are some of the largest flies in the United States. They are over an inch long and have a wingspan of 2.5". Their colors can range from black to brown. The adult House flies has fourth wing vein sharply angles and on top of the thorax there are four dark stripes.
Flies can be found during warm weather and any warm moist areas and materials. Animal manure, human excrement, garbage, decaying vegetables and ground contamination with organic matter will attract flies. Controlling flies will be to remove garbage constantly and keeping them away from entrances of doorways. You can also find flies on floors, walls, and ceilings indoors and plants, on the ground, on fence wires outside.
There are not many pesticides that you can use to control flies. You can use light traps (FLY-WEB-LIGHT, VECTOR PLASMA ONE FLY LIGHT TRAP, VECTOR DISCREET FLY SYSTEM TRAPS, VECTOR PLASMA FLY LIGHT TRAP), non residual aerosol (V CLEAN-OUT FOGGER 6 OZ., PRO CITRA DL BOTANICAL INSECTCIDE , ALPINE AEROSOL), liquid spray (MASTERLINE BIFENTHRIN 7.9, ARCHER IGR - 1 PINT) using a hand sprayer (CHAPIN 1 GALLON SPRAYER) and bait (MAXFORCE FLY SPOT BAIT, MAXFORCE GRANULAR FLY BAIT ). Fly light traps use a high voltage UV lamp to attract and trap flies and other flying insects. The fly light traps can be mounted on the wall. The non residual aerosol you will need to treat window/door frames. Liquid spray will need to be used with the amount instructed on the label. You will then spray the outside of your home where flies can gather (i.e. plants, on the ground, fence wires, and garbage cans). Bait is used to treat less surface area compared to contact killing sprays, water soluble granule. You can mix water with the bait to be used as a liquid spray or you can use it in a granule use. You will need to sprinkle the bait directly form the container onto dry level surface so that the individual granules lie near each other without forming small piles for them to eat so they will die. Since you cannot sprinkle the granule on garbage cans or anywhere else that is not a flat surface, just dilute in water and use as a paint-on application. Maxforce Fly Spot Bait has 3 powerful attractants: irresistible aroma, seductive pheromone and sugar base, active ingredient, imidacloprid, works quickly, even against flies resistant to other insecticides, spray able formulation, and low odor. You can use a bait station (EZ STRIKE FLY BAIT STATION), you will fill in the trays full of bait and attach it to the outside of your home (i.e. fences, walls, near garbage cans). These baits will attract the flies from the odor and they will eat the bait causing them to die.
