RE: Getting Rid of Blow Flies
I am happy to report my blow fly problem has been solved for a long time. I used the "Raid" spray and "fly strip"
to get rid of them. Thanks for your good advice and help.

RE: Getting Rid of Blow Flies
Ah! I am currently having this problem in my bedroom. From my knowledge there is nothing dead in my room or food that could be attracting them. I was told that they lay eggs in food. Does anyone know if they lay eggs anywhere besides that? They are starting to drive me crazy and any help would be great.

RE: Getting Rid of Blow Flies
I had the very same thing happen a couple of months ago, with the blow flies. Each day for about 3 days in a row, I was killing anywhere from 5 to 20 flies a day. The only thing I could think of was I'm been to yard sale & bought some things. Once I took the yard sale items outside, my fly problem quit. My husband said these items had previously sat outside someone's home for them to have laid their eggs on it. I'd never experienced anything like this before & hopefully never again!

Thank you very much for your help. They have left the bathroom and are in my kitchen. There are not nearly so many at one time. I have bought the fly strip.

The "fly ribbons" can also be referred to as "fly tape" or "fly paper"...just make absolutely sure they're hung above head level, or someone will end up with a major mess in their hair!

RE: Getting Rid of Blow Flies
I had a similar episode recently, not with blow flies, but just plain old house flies. They were gathering in my kitchen window behind my sink. I swatted a dozen or so, and the next time I looked there were that many more. So I took one of the old fashioned "fly ribbons: and hung it in the window for a few days. It caught them, and after about 3 days, I was seeing no more flies, and removed the ribbon. For you young people who don't know what a "fly ribbon" is, you can still buy them at the feed stores..and I believe WalMart sells them in the garden center. They are enclosed in a round cylinder, and have a hanger sticking out the top. You remove the lid, and begin to slowly pull the ribbon out. Be careful in handling it because it is VERY sticky. I just pull out 3 or 4 inches, because it tends to stretch on its own as it hangs. But the flies are attracted to it, and they get caught and can't get loose. They are very inexpensive...like 3 or 4 for $2.00.

RE: Getting Rid of Blow Flies
Start killing them as soon as you can. They lay maggots !!
But something attracted them. Have you had any type of greens in your house lately ?
Like collards or cabbage ? They seem to be attracted to greens like that.
