This happens every summer: I have flies in my apartment. No food out, trash taken out, and still for every one I kill, there's another one or two buzzing around. Do you have this problem? Any ideas on how to get rid of them and keep them out?
Anyone remember the Bugs Bunny cartoon where Elmer Fudd was chasing a fly all thru the house with a shotgun?
That was back before the PC cartoons of today.
Anyway, that's where the shotgun reference came from.
Hang pine boughs at entry points throughout the house, as flies dislike the smell of pine oil. You also can make fly-repellant sachets using tea bags and cloves, as well as set potted false indigo, lavender, elderberry,
I know that vinegar attracts fruit flies.. Put that in a bowl with some dish soap to break the surface tension and they'll drown in it... Not sure if it works with regular flies though.
