nuisance fly control?

[dtknow]

Well, it is summer again, and one thing about summer is the increase in the number of flies we all have running around in our houses. Providing flies are not breeding in your area, anyone have any ideas for good methods of reducing their numbers? Their really arent that many but they are still annoying! We've tried a flypaper trap but it did not work at all....guess it only works with high numbers.

I've always wondered if placing a cage with a praying mantis/spider and bait by a window would be a good trap for indoor flies.

In the meantime, the newspaper and the rubber band(this actually works wonders for sniping flies off of stuff you can't hit without risking chaos) are doing what they can!

It may look ghetto but them sticky fly tapes that you hang from ceiling in middle of room works for me.

jumping spiders catch TONS of flies around our place. just get a batch of audax and let em fill their face!

or you could get a fly/wasp jar. they have an opening at the bottom and are corked at the top. put some vinager in and they will go for it and be trapped in.
