I have flies in my back yard, neighbors on both sides have dogs. This simply might be due to the multiple rains and not the dogs - but if you have a suggestion I'd like to hear it. Thanks.

I had your same problem, flies everywhere. until I bought a RESCUE FLY TRAP.This baby works and it's entertaining. Thousands of flies in one bag. No more flies fling around my face or on my plate. Must try.

There is this amazing fly catcher my husband brought home from the local farm store.The name of it is fly catcher it smells really bad, but works wonders and it holds up to 30,000 flies it is kinda like the fill a bag with water but this one has a odor that flies are attracted to. Good luck!

I have a fenced in backyard, where I just put up a Little Tikes Climber. But we are having major problems with the little flies. They fly all around our heads and are REALLY annoying. Is there anything I can do to get rid of them? At this point, I am not letting my young children go out and play because the flies are so bad! PLEASE HELP ME!

Take plastic sealable bags fill with water and place thru out your yard. It really works

DO NOT USE MOTH BALLS!
They are Poisonous to both Kids and pets,
Breathing them is not good, Let alone if one gets ingested.

Remove any containers that may hold water,
Any where a puddle may set, Fill it in,
If there is any Feces anywhere near then clean it up and keep it far away from your house,
As for a safe fly deterrent use VINEGAR , you can dilute it with water,
Its safe on the environment, Actually healthy if ingested! So no worries with pets or children and it WORKS!

I have used it for years in animal barns with terrible fly troubles.
You will be amazed with its results!

anything that produces or offers Heat & Warmth is a hugh attraction for flys

TRY USING MOTHBALLS. JUST PUT SOME AROUND YOUR FENCE LINE OR YARD. IT KEEPS AWAY ALL KINDS OF PEST EVEN SNAKES. JUST DONT GO OVERBOARD. A COUPLE GOES A LONG WAY.

Get a spray bottle fill it half with warm water and half with Listerine mouthwash spray around your yard or seating areas or you might try spraying on each side of your yard where the dogs are. I have used this for years and I know it clears out mosquitoes, bees, gnats it should work for flies. you will need to do this every couple days and if it rains. I hope this helps.

Sounds like the neighbors need to dispose of either dog food or dog stool-- either seems to draw flies. Unless they take care of the problem, it will be your problem.
There are passive fly strips at our local Wal-mart in the section where fly spray and roach items are shelved. The bug zappers do work. If you have children I wouldn't want to use sprays-- if it'll kill a fly it can harm a child is my rule.
I'm not aware that rains make flies worse-- except they want shelter under your roof-- if that is part of the problem-- try the fly strips.
good luck
