I mean, all of those methods sound nice but why not go for something more in keeping with the whole grilling theme?

I used to put out Japanese Beetle traps and always caught a ton of them, but got no relief. Finally, I had an extension agent tell me that the traps attract the beetles and to put the traps a good distance away from whatever I wanted to protect to draw them away.
Do you have a neighbor you don't like? (Where's the Evil Grin emoji when I need it...)Last edited by RonB; August 14, 2021, 02:54 PM.

I wish I had a good solution. One thing I am sure of is that I need that apron!

+1 here. They work great. The smell is rank for sure but they do the job. I would position away from where you are to draw the flies away from you and they will work great. I put one near my chicken coop and it got so full the string broke! Chickens were pleased though.

I use the Rescue fly bags I buy at Tractor Supply. Yes they do smell bad, and boy do they work. We hang them about 75 - 100 feet away from where we normally occupy and they keep our entire backyard clear of flies without any smell where we are.

For some reason the flies have been crazy here compared to previous years. How to get rid of them? Not sure we have a good plan here.

Not sure if your flies are as dumb as the ones we have or the same breed.
I put apple cider vineger into a container with a drop of dishwashing liquid. Make a funnel to fit container so the thin end rests just above the liqiud. Works here but I don't have a whole flocking lot to deal with.

That would be called "dry brined" decking.
We have some of those tent type things for covering the food....... but that's all I've got.

Combating flies in an outdoor kitchen/patio
We are totally loving our new outdoor kitchen and patio, but we seem to have been overrun by houseflies. We tried buying the bait bags from Amazon which trapped a ton of them but them smelled like a dead body. Anyone have any tips for how to deter these pests? Looking at a Bugasalt gun but my fear is that the entire space will be covered in salt!Tags: None
