Flies

How do you reduce flies in your coop?

Fly traps. The disposable kind that traps the flies and they die. Only thing that has worked for me.

Keep the coop relatively clean and dry. So covering the floor with shavings or some other substrate mixed with DE to quickly dry out the droppings and (if you keep a waterer in the coop) no leaking waterer.

Flytraps tend to have pheromones or other lure that draw flies to them, which, while ensuring flies touch the trap and stick, also brings in more flies.
