Any unique ideas to get rid of house flies??

Answer 1

My mom takes a paper plate and puts a little Lemon Joy Liquid Soap and water in it, it does somewhat attract the flies.
Good Luck!! :)

Answer 2

Get a toy fox terrier. When we got ours several years ago, the lady who sold him to us said we would never have a bug problem in our house again. And, she was right.

Whenever there's a fly in the house, the dog's supersonic hearing picks it up. Next thing you know, the dog's running all over the house chasing the fly. Eventually, the fly goes low enough for the dog to snap at it. He eats the ones he catches.

If I find a fly first, I just say, "Scooter, get the bug." and he goes into fly-trapping mode. Whenever he sees me pick up a fly swatter, he goes nuts and starts jumping and running around looking for the fly. If I swat one and it lands on the ground, he'll eat it.

1/4 of 1/2 water-filled plastic baggy hanging up over the doors / windows will keep flies from flying in/out.

How to Get Rid of House Fly

Get rid of flies

Despite being an annoyance, the common house fly (Musca domestica Linnaeus) will spread bacteria and disease, lay eggs in your produce, land on your face at night and keep you awake till the wee hours of the morning trying to escape from a window, but never learning that glass windows can't be flown through. In other words, flies are one of the most horrific of God's creatures, and if there was ever a time to suggest that our God might not be a good God, this is it. Below is some advice about how to get rid of the common house fly.

House fly control begins with your trash. Make sure you keep dumpsters and other outside trash receptacles as far away from your house as possible and try to keep their lids shut as tightly as possible. Dust dumpsters with borax occasionally to keep flies from breeding in them.

Don't leave garbage around. Clean off any food remaining on counter or around the house . Use a fly swatter to keep killing them too. You can use sticky paper for awhile also.
Do you keep the door & windows open? Keep them closed. Hope this helped.
