How to Get Rid of Flies in North Carolina

Shoo fly, don’t bother me! There’s nothing more annoying than a fly that won’t leave you alone, and if you have more than one inside your home, you probably want to eliminate them as soon as possible. There are many home remedies for treating house flies, but if you’re still having problems with these pests, contact a Clegg’s Pest Control professional today for a FREE initial inspection and custom treatment plan. Read on below for more information about how to control and prevent house flies!

How Do Houseflies Get Inside?

Flies are most common during the spring, summer, and fall months, as that’s when they will seek out food sources. Common reasons flies can be found indoors include uncovered trash cans, ripening fruit on countertops, spilled sodas or open containers of alcohol, pet feces around the property, or dirty drains and sinks. If you leave the windows open on a cool day, look out – flies have an open invitation to your home!

How Can I Prevent Houseflies?

Be sure to keep all trash cans, recycling bins, and composting bins covered. You can also clean your garbage disposal and other commonly used drains and keep your property clear of debris, pet feces, or other food-related waste. Keep windows and doors tightly shut when not opening them for fresh air, and make sure that you don’t cook or leave food out when windows are open.

Do Flies Like Vinegar? How to Get Rid of Houseflies in the House Home

Using vinegar can be an effective way to trap houseflies. Home remedies for houseflies, like soda bottle traps or a mixture of vinegar and dish soap, can help manage the problem. The vinegar lures the flies, while the soap ensures they get trapped in a sticky solution.

However, if these methods don’t eliminate the problem, it might be time to call a professional. A nearby fly breeding site may require more extensive treatment, and DIY methods may not be sufficient. For more information on professional fly treatment, contact us today.
