Flies also don't like mouth wash so when you are cooking it helps to have a paper towel with mouth wash on it so the flies will be away from your food. In the Summer kep your windows open then when the flies fly out the window quickly close the window then go out side and open the screen and let them free.

Yesterday, we noticed a variety of different types of flies (cluster, blow fly, house fly and horse fly) on the outside of the trailer. Because it is so hot in our area of the state, the doors and windows are usually closed and the AC is running quite a bit. Anyway....Came home from a grocery run yesterday and when we opened the door, it was like a scene out of Amityville Horror! Flies en masse were clustered around one window, the bathroom mirror, etc. We went to work with the swatter and I followed up by cleaning the carcasses up. I noticed A LOT of little brown specks that were barely visible - like ...pin sized dots of molasses. I'm assuming they were eggs? Not sure. At any rate, I took a homemade mixture of dishwashing liquid and several drops of clove oil and wiped down everything in site (without rinsing). So far, so good - only a few flies in site. The irony in all of this is that I had a large watermelon rind bagged loosely in our sink yesterday (doing worm harvesting/composting on the property). NOT ONE fly that would be the type interested in decomp and sugar was anywhere near that sugary rind. We just didn't know what to make of it! Will update if the dish liquid/clove mixture (a natural deterrent) turns out to be a bust.

I have never had any sort of fly problem indoors. All of a sudden, this year,they are everywhere. all screen have been checked, there are no odors as if something were dead or uncleaned. the wierd thing is, the flies are only around a certain window. I kill the flys with a fly swatter and next thing you know the window is covered again. so i switched to sweeping. still same situation. any suggestions would be great at this moment.

I rent and the owner will not sort them out so I need advice on how I can get rid of them myself? They come from the corner of a window in my living room. They only escape when I open the window which has been ok through the winter but now I need to open the windows they will all come in. Help!!! I have house flies and they are so annoying.
