I'm about to build a subdivision sized bug bomb.

How can I control them without poisons?
Excellent idea I will have to keep that in mind. Though they are seriously under control for now.Zofiava wrote:You can make a fly trap by cutting the top of a two liter bottle off, putting something gross in the bottom (I used dog poop and water) and inverting the top of the bottle and setting it inside the bottom half. Tape around the edges.
VOILA! lol, it worked VERY VERY well. It was gross!
Great idea, I remember, now, hearing about this before. The story I read was from a RV'r (camping). I believe what he suggested was to hang a 'clear bottle' of water next to where you want them repelled. Again if i remember right the bottle\ziplock bag of water would confuse the vision of the flies by the reflections.The Helpful Gardener wrote:Just learned a trick from a Filipino friends mom; we were eating and the flies swarmed the table. She came out with two ziploc bags filled with water, plopped them on the table, and voila! the flies vanished. Mom says it's feng shui; I don't care if it's The Force, I have seen it work and how! I am assured this works every time...
My suspicion is that water draws dragonflies, so once flies see water they scoot before the dragonflies show, but I am just guessing. Try this, you will be amazed...
