Tips for stopping flies getting into your home
Almost all flies are attracted to filth, which they both eat and lay eggs in. Therefore the key to preventing flies setting up home is simply good sanitation.
Make sure your bin has a tight fitting lid. Cover all compost piles with black plastic sheeting, as flies like to breed in them. By covering you will also help any organic matter to decompose more quickly.
If you have pets, make sure you pick up any animal waste regularly, especially if it is warmer outside. Also try not to let fruit or vegetables rot in your garden, and remove any decaying plant material regularly.
By following these steps at home you can help to keep the flies at bay.
