Flys??
So between regular garbage, diapers, and this heat I have flys by our pails. Is there something I can put outside by the pails that will keep the flys away. Not those cheesy fly strips either. Tia.

When it rains, try to get rid of any water around them. Spray them with windex after removal.

Re: Flys??
We have had a lot of flies too lately and they're driving me crazy! I know someone mentioned they don't like mint (I was looking for some 'natural remedies' since we have a dog and a toddler). I'll have to look for some more info on that though....or start lining my yard with sticks of gum

Re: Flys??
So, i had bought some organic ant spray. I hate the spray because it smells like Ben gay for old people. I googled and flys hate pepermint smell, so I sprayed the ant spray in the pails, and booyah. No more flys. My backyard smells like an old age home, but I got rid of those little suckers.
