Recommended Posts

good question i usually just cover up the tanks and let it rip with the fly spray its not to bad at the moment here because its slowly getting cooler but theres still enough flies to drive me nuts and just throughly wash me hands in hot water after spraying would like to know any other natural alternatives

have you tried them raid fly stickers put them on the outside of the tank ive never tried them but maybe it will work also clear any uneaten foods and move food supply outside some were or in the fridge? sorry just trying to through any ideas out there not sure what you have and what you've tried

just a thought maybe not the sticker im not sure how long it takes to kill the flies but if they got into the tank the could take the poison in with them and maybe worse if the animal ate the insect

the trouble with those fly traps mincie, is that the smell of the bait actually attracts more flies.

try a fan in the room as flying insects dont like too much air movement. Ever noticed how on a windy day , the flies seem to congregate indoors.They are getting out of the wind.

Seems to work ok for me.
