Flies are terrible this year.
Any recommendations on fly control that actually works?
Everything I find seems to be geared towards horses/stables/farms.
I have dogs, so I'm not sure that stuff will be safe.

Also, not going to hang bags of water.

Thanks!

This works wonders. Spent a some time this past weekend using this on the copious amount of flies on the back porch of a friends house in Propser this weekend. It was a actually lot of fun shooting beer and flies.

Super tacky-looking and smells terrible up close (I think it uses dried fish for the bait mix), but it's effective. I hide mine around the corner of the house.

I have used the bag ones that use that stuff. Smells hooooorrible, but it catches an S-load of flies.

This will produce a 6" high pile of dead ones daily for a few weeks each. All the quickstrike stuff is good.
Kills instantly with minimal smell. Still for outside
