How to Get Rid of Flies Indoors

Interior Fly Control can be achieved with a combination of appropriate indoor control methods including non-toxic fly traps, surface sprays, and exclusion practices.

1)Indoor Fly Traps

Fly Traps are traditionally the most popular and effective method of fly control.

Fortunately the pest control industry has heard and responded to the people's demand for all-natural control products. These natural fly traps are an environmentally-safe, completely non-toxic and child/pet friendly alternative to the traditional chemical fly traps, without sacrificing effectiveness.

2) Surface Sprays

Flies landing on a structure treated with a surface pesticide labeled for flies will die long before they can get inside. In addition to fly control, comprehensive surface sprays also provide control over a broad range of insect pests including roaches, ants, and spiders. Application requires a one gallon hand sprayer.

 Where to apply surface sprays: Indoors, surface sprays can be applied to baseboards, window sills, and door frames. Do not spray near food preparation or consumption areas.

• Wettable Powders (WP)- Cynoff WP, Demon WP and Talstar One.
  • Longest lasting residual- 90 days + indoors; 30 to 90 days outdoors
  • May leave a residue on dark surfaces. (If residue is undesirable, use Talstar One, or other liquid concentrate.)

• Liquid Concentrates- 

1.  
   1. Cynoff EC Residual lasts about 30 days indoors, 10 to 30 outdoors.
   2. Suspend SC, Demand CS are liquid concentrates that offer a longer residual than EC formulations, but not as long as wettable powders.

3) General Exclusion Practices

In addition to chemical methods and traps, there are some structural changes that can be made to help maintain control and prevent future fly entry and infestation:

• Doors leading to the outside should be equipped with self-closing devices or a screen door.
• Keep window and door screens in good repair, without tears or holes.
• Make sure that all doors fit tightly within their frames, with intact weather-stripping.
• Caulk cracks or gaps around windows and doors.
