Fly Control - Ideas?

After giving up with the vanilla not working I had better results with Sweet PDZ and poison.

I decided to try the jar trap with tube of goo you squirt in and fill half up with water. I also bought some of the poison bait too. set them both side by side in a HIGH traffic area for flies, right under my pens. This was tuesday and now the jar trap has 3 flies in it and the ground is black with flies around the bait poison. It even rained and dissolved the crystal poison, I had it sitting in an old pie pan, and I think it even worked better. There are 1000's of dead flies, didnt realize there were that many flies here.... Kinda nasty looking, I'll be raking up flies and quail poo today... Bill

Any chance you're referring to Golden Malrin fly bait? If so, you should be aware that it can and WILL KILL ANY LVING BEING THAT INGESTS IT, including CHICKENS AND CHILDREN. That stuff is bad news. I've seen what it can do to a 25lb raccoon. Personally, I'd rather have flies than risk using that stuff.

If you used something other than GM, please disregard this rant.

Golden Malrin is what I use, and yes, it is deadly to the flies..........and NO, no children, or animals can get to it......excluding maybe a mouse/rat......but good riddance to them!

X2 if a stray dog or cat eat it then at least its gone. The same with every other thing that eats my feed and birds. There's no such thing as a safe poison...
