OMG the FLIES!!! How to get rid of?

[wistlindixie]

My chicken brooder is raised up and underneath the brooder is covered in flies!!! How do I get rid of them?

 

[Player Hater]

how about some flypaper or a trap?

Seems to me that there were a lot of posts last year about running flies/mosquitos off with the vanilla scented, tree shaped car air fresheners? Anybody else remember that?

I swear it works. Also soaking something in vanilla and sticking it on, like cottonballs & staple-gun ought to work.

The vanillaroma car freshener trees work GREAT to keep flies out of the coop! De on the droppings also helps

well,I bought the vanilla scented trees to hang in my basement. Hung them there a few days ago. I guess no one told them they were not supposed to like the scent.

I think my flies love it. I have as many as ever. Darnit.
