Basil is great to get rid of flies,, I found out this about keeping cut worms off my tomatoes, I also found out that Rosemary will get rid of mosquitoes, plant you a few rosemary plants and when you go outside just Ruffle the tops of your rosemary. And Basil and they leave your property!!!
You get them from a farm store, or tractor supply. It's a mosquitoe trap. You put it away from your area, so the mosquitoes are drawn to it, instead of you.
Even better if you have standing water ( where mosquitoes breed & lay eggs) you can get Mosquito Dunks and put them in standing water in your yard. It kills the mosquito larvae. It keeps the population down & works for us.
Same here in east Tennessee! Terrible w flies! But I want to know where the hell are they all coming from?!? Flies develop from maggots. Maggots develop from fly eggs, usually laid on carrion or other decaying material, decaying food, etc. WHERE'S ALL THE DECAYING MATERIAL COMING FROM ALL OF A SUDDEN? Sooooooooo gross!
We tried one of those a few years ago (the size in the little bag) and naively thought we'd use it on our patio where the flies were really bad. But the smell was so horrible and I recall it seemed to bring in even more flies. It did work but we had to move it to the back of our yard because of the stench. We also tried that Pinterest idea with the sandwich baggie and copper pennies. The flies just laughed at that and landed on it too. I do like your idea of putting those out in the spring and hopefully reducing the breeding population. Now I'd put up with the stink of that fly trap if they made one that got the same kind of results to eliminate squash bugs next year!
Thank you I have been looking into getting these I can’t stand the flys this year. With my son having eb he’s covered in wounds and bandages all the time so I have to make sure flys stay away from him, an it’s been horrendous, he got a staph and mrsa infection in one of the wounds, just left the doctors, 12 years since he was born never had this happen, we’ve never had a serious infection 😓 it’s the fly’s, I’m convinced. I completely understand what your saying the fly’s have taken over most of the day/evening. I will get these tomorrow! Thank you so much 🙏❤️
Same here in Middle Tennessee. 2 months ago I called this the YEAR of the FLIES! I’ve never seen so many flies in my LIFE-all sizes & BITING flies that suck blood. It’s been awful. I’ll pick up this fly trap ASAP.
Yes!! Flies, fruit flies, gnats…driving me crazy. I put AC vinegar and honey in a 2 liter bottle and the gnats are drawn to it. Looks like 2 inches of peppercorns in the bottom of the bottle in 3 days!
In my mum's yard years ago, I smelled a dead animal. We searched all over her yard to no avail. Then we realized it was a fly trap bag she hung in a tree. Lol. Awful smell 🤢🤢
We used the same traps and the do STINK ... but they work. We also bought an electric trap at Costco for about $90.00 it says it will not trap bees and seems to work because we empty it weekly. Love your posts!!
We had flies like that the year before last and I'm still traumatized thinking about it! I'm so grateful I'm not dealing with that right now but I'm glad that there's something that works available! Thanks for sharing even when it's gross and you'd rather not!
Those are usually available in the summer pretty much everywhere. I usually get them at Home Depot but also at Lowes or Ace Hardware. My closest feed store only gets them in seasonally ❤ They worked great when I lived in Long Beach, CA. And I have one now on my fence halfway between my front and back yard. Really I need at least two more.
Those fly traps are great! I use them around my pigs. Around the back porch I took the advise from my neighbor. I put plain water into ziplock bags and hung them on my porch with big binder clips and the flys stayed away!!! Don’t know how it works, but it dose!!! 😊👍
I found hooks that you put in the ground to hang solar lights on at Joannes fabrics. They also have them at hobby lobby. I hung my fly traps on those and it worked great.
Mrs H you are so funny and down to earth! I sure love you and Mr. H 🙏 blessings to you both 🤗 oh and yes the flies have been out of control. Can’t even quickly open a door with out bunches getting in house or car 🤦♀️
Mrs H, We had issues with flies here in North Fl. I picked up fly traps similar to yours but they were bags from the blue box store. You're 100 % correct they do stink but man they really work.
We have a fly called Blandford in the UK, every dam year I get bit, leaves painful wounds and can be dangerous. Try Avon Skin so soft spray, works brilliantly. 👍
Thanks for sharing Mrs. H, but I wish that they made one for mosquitoes! I can't hardly go outside for these creatures biting me which I am very allergic to them, I swell badly and have to take Benadryl to stop the itching. Peace and Blessings to You and Mr. H.🙏❤️❤️🙏
So sad to see your last few videos because you are sad whereas normally you are so cheerful & you have a lovely cheeky laugh; keep your chin up & thanks for your videos❤ Here in Southern France we have had terrible flies these last 2/3 years plus they aren’t the same flies as before; they are smaller & more annoying. 😤😤
They do work great, I found 2 at the thrift for 99cents, I also found for yellow Jack's also. The best buy I found for these nuisances. Bag is full of flies. Love it.
I haven’t had that problem, thank goodness. I’m in Michigan. Really enjoy your videos. You and Mr. H are a great couple and you always bring a smile to my face.
We've had the same problem too....the flies and mosquitoes have been horrible this year! You can't sit outside for a minute without the mosquitoes buzzing around you! The flies literally sit by the door waiting for it to open! I've used the hanging fly tape in the chicken coop and it work great, just don't get the sticky stuff on you. Wow....yeah....that's disgusting!
The first time I used one in the bag, I hung it up in my opened garage. But the smell was awful so I moved it about 15 feet away into a tree. Worked wonderfully.
Those fly catchers are amazing!!! They are pretty nasty though, but not as nasty as all those flies getting in your house. Not to mention the biting flies.
I'm glad you found something that works‼️😀 Insects can be very Pesty. I've had problems with gnats. I'm in the Arizona desert. Insects are really bad this year for some reason. 🤔
I triple bagged our Japanese Beetle traps (a few years ago...for two summers) and our garbage bin STILL reeks from them. I've bleached it, I've dumped a ton of baking soda in there, I've scrubbed with vinegar, I've scrubbed with dish soap (all separately)...ain't nothin' helped. Lesson fcking learned!!
Yes, I got something similar off of Amazon. The review videos were mostly around horse stalls and corrals . I have one that sits on top of my garbage can. I grilled out all summer without one fly coming near. The other is by my coop. They Work!! 16$ Amazon
We used the same brand that came in a bag type shape. We noticed a lot of flies in our barn (a barn without any livestock) when our temps were in the 100’s. We had the same result. A large bag filled with dead flies. I could not believe how many flies had been flying around. Great brand, definitely works!
Now we know why we weren't bothered so much with flies this summer.....YOU had them all! I made a remark just about a week ago to my husband that we hadn't been bothered with flies this year. I ordered 6 bug hangers that fit on a simple pop or water bottle and we spread them out for wasps and yellow jackets especially. We mixed honey or pancake syrup with water and hung them around in the shaded areas like under the many flower arbors we have. It drew the stinging bugs and the birds also. They went after the bugs! So I will be on the lookout for some of that just in case next year WE in Kentucky get all the flies. That wasn't so gross. I was ready to see a horrific moment lol. Thanks for the video Mrs. H. It's looking like rain here today. Just weedeated today only. ❤
Around the porch or entryways you could try flypaper strips. Just make sure to place them away from your windy places so you don't get your hair/hand or whatever stuck in those sticky glue paper. I'm in the Sip and haven't seen very many but feel for those who have to deal with it, cuz I know can be a major bummer!
Thank you Mrs. H 😁... For inside use I mix Apple cider vinegar, 20 drops each of 3 essential oils ( tea tree, rosemary, lavender) what ever you want and it's none toxic . AND I just discovered if you spray 91% isopropyl alcohol on WASPS they die almost immediately from dehydration 🤯😃 it works❣️
Yes Thanks. I make some just about every year now and place both side of my house. Use liter bottle cut half fill with sugar water and soap , or apple cider vinegar, sugar and soap . They work, get so many dump them, yes they smell. Thanks for sharing.
I used the bag version and had double that amount within 2 weeks or less! 3 rounds of them...AL FULL within a week or so...gross but it solved the fly problems
We had the same issue. You also can get a fly plant. Our son had one but he rarely fed the poor plant because he was always working. They're cool plants though. However, we ended up getting a bug light. Now that I'm thinking about it, we need to hang that up and turn it on!
When I had angora rabbits I used something similar that was in a disposable bag from Walmart. I think this reusable one would be much better. Yes they stink to high heaven but it works!
Mine are full too. The flies are crazy this year. I’ve never seen so many. They come in the house every time you open the door. Fly spray fly swatters they stay in the grass too. Sick of them
Thanks for sharing your experiences. It may be something dead close by. Please be sure dog and cat waste is far from the house. Flies lay eggs in dead stuff and animal waste. Usually dogs or cats lead you to the source pay close attention to them sniffing around. Flies have a food source to keep hanging around. Thanks for sharing.
The original ones were a clear gallon jug, but I don't recall them smelling as bad as these. They may have been around longer, but I first learned of them in the early 80's, if I recall. It was not unusual to have a generous half gallon of just flies, when dumping it.
Isn't it amazing how your animals have there watches set for eat time and will not give you peace until you meet their needs 😂 I have 4 cats can not imagine a farm of them...what a heart to take care of them and help everyone else you can with your videos...❤
worst i have ever in my 65years seen this many flys! 🤢 I got this, Dr. Killigan's The Fly Inn , 2 in a pack, worked great in the house, kinda like them ugly sticky fly papers you hang from the ceiling lol. but looks better, just suctions to the window. Ended up getting 2 more for several rooms. But I do like what you got for outside!!
That dog is AMAZING! I had to put mine down, due to the pain he began to have from kidney failure. I miss him terribly, but I have to concentrate on my husband who has been diagnosed with dementia, and I' m still prepping. No more dogs, which kills me, as I am crazy about them. Sounds like you need several giant fly traps. I fought Japanese Beatles did the traps a few years back, but the most helpful thing was getting rid of my Rose of Sharon shrubs, which the Beatles LOVED. GOOD LUCK with those nasty flies. Appreciate your videos, when I .ca stop to watch LOL.
I often wonder where and what their food source and breeding ground is. When there are huge fly blooms like that, there is a source. Do you live near somewhere with livestock that may have died or a landfill? I live in a subdivision and have 😅intermittent issues when people have food waste in their garbage cans too early before trash pickup.
I wish I had this the last few months. Now it's getting cold enough in the north that the flies are dying off. But, I'll remember this for next year. 👍👍👍👍
I’m in SE Michigan. We’ve been having a mosquito apocalypse since the flooding. I’ll take your flies if I could send you these vampires. Lol. Seriously if anyone has any advice for these mosquitos I’d so appreciate it. We’ve sprayed the cutter yard spray, sevin and fixed the fogger so we could spray some concentrate that mixes with diesel. They are still so horrible
Great Video, Thank You for Sharing! I am thinking the flies are attracted to the Manure/Compost, they do like it, their So Gross!! God Bless You Always!🌅
We got some from Wal-Mart the one time deal. It stinks but it sure works. We had to hang it a bit away from front door and back door due to smell. It cut down on flies coming in house.
Thank you for sharing this. We had terrible flies in the early summer but they have waned for now, I don’t know why but glad. The farmer may have sprayed something that helped don’t know but I’m buying some of these traps to go ahead and hang up. We do have chickens and pigs and one cow. So yeah, gonna buy some of them!!
Those things are fantastic. Here in the UK we have a similar product. We don't notice them so much outside but in the summer if the windows are open flies come in the house. We live alongside marshlands, so lot's of flies. We tried all sorts of things for inside the house but nothing really worked well. Put these up outside near the windows and no more flies in the house. They go to the plastic tub instead of coming through the window. Tried a home-made one using a plastic bottle with water and bits if raw meat but it didn't work very well and was pretty disgusting. These are nasty looking but pretty easy to deal with and worth spending the money.
Stinks really bad but I am seeing that the hundreds of large flies trapped inside are less as the smaller flies are now flying inside. Great trap but all need to know and remember it must be placed far away from your door.

🐶🐕🐾 )Proceeds to deliver more paw.) 😂
It’s the Great Pyrenees paw!!! I’ve got 2 Pyrs!
We have used those stinky things before, and still do, they work great!
They were awful here too- in the HOT and DRY desert! It never ended all spring and summer! A plague of flies!
I wish they made one like that for mosquitoes.
They do!
@@raynonabohrer5624🤯🤯🤯 what's it called? I need to grab a pallet of them lol
You get them from a farm store, or tractor supply. It's a mosquitoe trap. You put it away from your area, so the mosquitoes are drawn to it, instead of you.
Amen.

Love those Great Pyrenees!! We have two! I’d rather deal with flies then turkey mites! They are a total nightmare!
Turkey mites😳? I’ve never heard of it. Going to study and learn more about the mites. Thank You
I've heard these work well in my gardening groups. Now can you please go feed our Pup-phew please?!?!😂❤
😂 yes ma’am
Thank you for the info!!! Seems like flies, gnats, and mosquitos have taken over this year!!!
Same here in east Tennessee! Terrible w flies! But I want to know where the hell are they all coming from?!? Flies develop from maggots. Maggots develop from fly eggs, usually laid on carrion or other decaying material, decaying food, etc. WHERE'S ALL THE DECAYING MATERIAL COMING FROM ALL OF A SUDDEN? Sooooooooo gross!
Maybe from all of the fruits and vegetables that die from heat in the gardens!
It's really the smell that is disgusting. I dread every time I have to dump it. GROSS!!
I bought the one in the plastic bag. I don’t dump them. Use a plastic grocery bag, cover it, unhook the trap, tie the bag and trash it.
We tried one of those a few years ago (the size in the little bag) and naively thought we'd use it on our patio where the flies were really bad. But the smell was so horrible and I recall it seemed to bring in even more flies. It did work but we had to move it to the back of our yard because of the stench.

😂 I tried the bag with the pennies too. Just kept hitting my head on it... didn't work!
They have one for Japanese Beetles that worked great for us!
Our issue is mosquitoes, hordes and hordes of them, can't even do gardening in the daytime without slathering on the bug spray
Plant rosemary, mint, basil... everywhere. The natural herb pest-be-gone triplets

North Alabama here Miss H. We’ve been using those on our property for years now and they work great! Just put them downwind and away from the house.
❤
Thank God you shared this information. The flies have been absolutely horrible this year. Again thank you!
It is amazing how that works to remove the flys. I never heard of it before. Thanks for the information. Have a good week.
Didn’t know you’ll had a pool. How cool is that. On a hot day after working in the garden you can just take a dip cool off AND escape the flies😂😂😂
This has been a heavy fly year in central Texas as well. They are nasty little creatures and will drive you crazy swatting at them.
That many flies on the grass and in that bottle is very disgusting. What in the world? Thanks for the info Mrs. H.
The Flies have been wearing us out and biting us, leaving horrible wounds on us
We have a fly called Blandford in the UK, every dam year I get bit, leaves painful wounds and can be dangerous.

Yeah the green bags work, but the blue Black Flag bags dont! I need the reusable container!
I'm glad you found something that works‼️😀 Insects can be very Pesty. I've had problems with gnats. I'm in the Arizona desert. Insects are really bad this year for some reason. 🤔
I had to buy one 2 years ago. When discarding you must put in a strong secure bad before putting in the trash garbage. Home depot carry them.
I triple bagged our Japanese Beetle traps (a few years ago...for two summers) and our garbage bin STILL reeks from them. I've bleached it, I've dumped a ton of baking soda in there, I've scrubbed with vinegar, I've scrubbed with dish soap (all separately)...ain't nothin' helped. Lesson fcking learned!!
@@katie7748...try smoking the garbage can. Once the smoke is smoking the garbage can, place the top on the can.
It's been a mosquito nightmare for a week. They always were minimal at dusk. Aww baby kitties.
Glad there isn't smellovision.
Yes, I got something similar off of Amazon. The review videos were mostly around horse stalls and corrals . I have one that sits on top of my garbage can. I grilled out all summer without one fly coming near. The other is by my coop. They Work!! 16$ Amazon
Thanks for the info! So helpful!
We used the same brand that came in a bag type shape. We noticed a lot of flies in our barn (a barn without any livestock) when our temps were in the 100’s. We had the same result. A large bag filled with dead flies. I could not believe how many flies had been flying around. Great brand, definitely works!
When I tried those it seemed like every fly in a Ike radius was trying to get to it. 😂
I've used something like that before (in a bag) and, if this is the same type, it smelled like death ... but, boy, did it work!!
Those fly traps are a Godsend! They work great. Home Depot has some similar to yours.
Now we know why we weren't bothered so much with flies this summer.....YOU had them all! I made a remark just about a week ago to my husband that we hadn't been bothered with flies this year. I ordered 6 bug hangers that fit on a simple pop or water bottle and we spread them out for wasps and yellow jackets especially. We mixed honey or pancake syrup with water and hung them around in the shaded areas like under the many flower arbors we have. It drew the stinging bugs and the birds also. They went after the bugs! So I will be on the lookout for some of that just in case next year WE in Kentucky get all the flies. That wasn't so gross. I was ready to see a horrific moment lol. Thanks for the video Mrs. H. It's looking like rain here today. Just weedeated today only. ❤
Flies thrive and mega multiply in extreme heat. They love triple digit temperature.
You can make a container that they fly into that has raw bacon. They love rotting bacon, so they will be in that container instead of around you.
Your video is real and helpful. Thank you. We are having fly issues here in the high desert of California as well. So gross.
Around the porch or entryways you could try flypaper strips. Just make sure to place them away from your windy places so you don't get your hair/hand or whatever stuck in those sticky glue paper. I'm in the Sip and haven't seen very many but feel for those who have to deal with it, cuz I know can be a major bummer!
Girl! That’s crazy! What does it smell like? I’m happy it worked.
It smells like something died. That’s why they like it.
Smells really bad, probably why the flies like it
Thank you. My daughter told me she killed about 30 flies yesterday. I just might need one of these too!
Great advise my daughter uses the bag kind an same for the yellow jackets ! They work great!
Thank you Mrs. H 😁... For inside use I mix Apple cider vinegar, 20 drops each of 3 essential oils ( tea tree, rosemary, lavender) what ever you want and it's none toxic . AND I just discovered if you spray 91% isopropyl alcohol on WASPS they die almost immediately from dehydration 🤯😃 it works❣️
Yes Thanks. I make some just about every year now and place both side of my house. Use liter bottle cut half fill with sugar water and soap , or apple cider vinegar, sugar and soap . They work, get so many dump them, yes they smell. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the information. Maybe when you dump it out, you can cover it with lime to neutralize the odor? 🤷🏻♀️
Yes here in California even though we live in the desert we have a horrible problem with flies. Thank you for sharing.
I used the bag version and had double that amount within 2 weeks or less! 3 rounds of them...AL FULL within a week or so...gross but it solved the fly problems
Grizzley was so cute! Mom, mom, mom!🤣
We did too my son ordered these things and they piled up in them nasty but we got rid of them caught in this bag it works
It would probably be best to bury it. Dig a hole, pour it in and cover it up. That way it doesn't kill any wildlife. Thank You for sharing this 🙏🏼
We had the same issue. You also can get a fly plant. Our son had one but he rarely fed the poor plant because he was always working. They're cool plants though. However, we ended up getting a bug light. Now that I'm thinking about it, we need to hang that up and turn it on!
The big bags work great around my goat pen. I keep it longer than directed by adding water now and then.
The flies! Yes. Never had an issue in my first 10 years - but THIS summer? Flies everywhere! Ack!
When I had angora rabbits I used something similar that was in a disposable bag from Walmart. I think this reusable one would be much better. Yes they stink to high heaven but it works!
What a way to get them Mrs Heart 👍 Thanks for sharing ❣️
They are bad here in Illinois too. We get our fly traps at Menards.
Flies this year has been awful!!! It's like biblical pestilence .. all the good bugs are few and far between and the flies and gnats are awful!!!
Mine are full too. The flies are crazy this year. I’ve never seen so many. They come in the house every time you open the door. Fly spray fly swatters they stay in the grass too. Sick of them

We use the bags. Hang 6-12 over 8 acres. Night and day difference!
Asalt gun is fun to have around too!
You may want to buy the other containers now because the way things are going in this country they may be in short supply for next year.
We use those around the chicken coops. It really worked for us. I make one for the back patio. It don't stink as bad but don't work a well.

Great advice! Thank you for the info!
Great Video, Thank You for Sharing! I am thinking the flies are attracted to the Manure/Compost, they do like it, their So Gross!! God Bless You Always!🌅
We got some from Wal-Mart the one time deal. It stinks but it sure works. We had to hang it a bit away from front door and back door due to smell. It cut down on flies coming in house.
Thank you for sharing this. We had terrible flies in the early summer but they have waned for now, I don’t know why but glad. The farmer may have sprayed something that helped don’t know but I’m buying some of these traps to go ahead and hang up. We do have chickens and pigs and one cow. So yeah, gonna buy some of them!!
Hi Mrs. H where can I find this fly trap? I live in Los Angeles and I've never seen this type of dl fly trap.
I have gotten them from Walmart or Home Depot- in a bag- they work good.
It’s in our Amazon shop
Home Depot, Lowes, True Value
Got mine from Ace Hardware, Truck Supply. It works great
Great idea! Environmentally friendly.
Those things are fantastic. Here in the UK we have a similar product. We don't notice them so much outside but in the summer if the windows are open flies come in the house. We live alongside marshlands, so lot's of flies. We tried all sorts of things for inside the house but nothing really worked well. Put these up outside near the windows and no more flies in the house. They go to the plastic tub instead of coming through the window. Tried a home-made one using a plastic bottle with water and bits if raw meat but it didn't work very well and was pretty disgusting. These are nasty looking but pretty easy to deal with and worth spending the money.
🙋🏾♀️Great Day🌞Blessings♥️
I use the same thing. Cant tell you how many times i think something died. It would take me days to figure it out 😂
Home Depot also have the fly catchers
It would b nice if we could c Grizzly!!! 🤣🤣 Those r government flies!
Stinks really bad but I am seeing that the hundreds of large flies trapped inside are less as the smaller flies are now flying inside. Great trap but all need to know and remember it must be placed far away from your door.
