Flies on the other hand in the summer are horrible ugghhh we get the ones that don't land on anything they like to fly right in the middle of the room in groups lol I started buying the hanging fly tape it's like $0.99 for a pack of 4 and they work great. There is also this amazing spray i love it, it's made by Ortho and you can get it at walmart for like $5-6 dollars it's called something like ortho home defense indoors it's in a clear see through green spray bottle like windex bottle with a yellow top and this will kill a fly, bee or any bug in mid flight they drop right out of the air it also repells them from coming in if you spray around your doors and windows( like ants and earwigs). It's all natural and safe around pets (however i don't reccomend spraying around pets like directly on them just in case but it does say you can use it as a flea treatment for your pet) My son got ahold of it and drank some i freaked called poison controll and they said he would be fine it was all safe lol. |
wow thanks for all that info! we don't have pine-type trees around our house.... however.. we thought we had a bed bug issues (didn't.. but still had the exterminiator come in ) and he said that if you run a dehumidifier it will deter the bugs from coming in because they want a damp area... so we are good on the ear wig front (honest to GOD the worst bug out there)... and i've been sucking up the flies in the vaccume but i have NO Idea how they are getting in.. i'll have to look for that spray!! thanks!
