Best fly control method???

[Molliep2]

Now that it's getting warmer here, there are lots of flies around the coop. I clean the coop once a week and use DE. I was wondering if there is a fly control method that's good and beneficial. Thanks!

I use Rescue disposable traps - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00004TBKM/?tag=backy-20

They smell but are easy to use and pretty effective as long as you follow the suggestions on the bag.

That's what I use too! Cheap and effective!

I use Redtop flying bait bags. They are big, ugly, quite expensive, and they smell when you get close to them. They are also incredibly gross because they become a dead fly soup, but it is the only thing I could find that controls the flies around the coop and patio in the summer. Its worth it so the neighbours don't complain.

Fly predators really help; mine have been from Spalding, sent monthly. Also fly traps, away from the coop and house because they are meant to attract the flies. Sticky strips can help too.

We are going with predators this year also.
