House flies......

Does anyone have any recommendations for controlling these filty disgusting creatures?

It's hot as hell here and those things are everywhere.

The ac from my house has found a leak in the front door and those things try to sneak there way in. Couple that with the fact that my dad goes outside to smoke 30 times a day and you get the idea.

I must have killed 20 today.

Is there anything.....aaarg!

Remove the food source. Think maggots.

The flies are breeding somewhere and something is attracting them to your home. They love the aroma of putrefaction and can detect just a few molecules per liter of air. That aroma can be disguised from the human nose with various canisters of floral scents. But a fly is okay with the thought of fruit piled on top of something rotting. In fact, fruity rot is a good thing. If you're a fly.

Also, take a quick peek and make sure Beelzebub isn't living in the basement.

I removed a floor mat from the front of the house and they are not around today. Maybe those things have some kinda funky semm that attracts them.

Once they are there, they feel the ac draft and hand out by the door. Then voila, an irritated plantman.
