FLYS!! What to do?????Help!!

[nrorlando]

Hi there....so I have a rabbit hutch style coop that I keep near my shed. I house chicks and pullets in there and then move them to bigger coops. The floor is screened, so I dont have to worry about cleanup so much. The droppings fall through to the ground.

What can I do about the fly problem? I dont wanna use poisons on the ground due to free ranging chickens, and I have a couple of thsose fly traps with the liquid in them, but they dont even really work.

What can I do that is safe nd will take care of the fly problem.!!!!!!

I haven't tried this, but saw them all around when I was in Corpus Christi, TX last month. Hang a sealed ziplock bag filled with water near the area. The locals told me the water bags "scare" the flies away. I googled it & found that lots of people claim it works. It's cheap & easy to try at least!!

Put shiny pennies in the water filled bag...

I just received my bottle of this yesterday and I'm going to use this in my yard to stop my fly issues. You might want to try this since it lasts for 3 months.
