I have had it! I am on a mission to swat every fly that comes my way. Every time a door to the outside is opened they just fly on in like an invited guest. Well, let me inform you, they are not. Those nasty little pests are about to make me mad. I am walking around with a fly swatter ready willing and able to battle these little guys. Oh well, I will do what I can to get them gone.

I am not one who likes to share my space with a bug. So, how is your day going. Is your home being taken over by pesky little flying devils? I guess they just decided that since I can't go outside in this heat and humidity they would come inside to visit.

I hate flies too but not as much as I hate ants. I don't like bugs at all.

@HazySue I get my year treated 4 times a year in Florida and I don't seem to have any when I am there in the winter.

@BelleStarr We get our yard treated also. It's the flying bugs that seem to be able to carry on.

I don't like bugs either. We have so many down here in Florida.

Lavender, tomatoes, semar bags, and pennyroyal are plants that can repel flies.

You need to hire a few spiders

. There are very few flies in my area this year.

I imagine not. It seems to me that it would be hard for them to make their way all the way up there.

We have had a fly problem at work the last couple of weeks. That's the problem with being right next to Tractor Supply..

Oh dear. I imagine you would end up with a few extra flies.

I have very few flies, but there are some. I am attributing it to the fact that the front doors have basil plants nearby. Not sure. I also have some original formula Listerine in a spray bottle to spray on flying critters. It kills or disables them and I believe it repels them as well.

We had a couple of flies inside earlier this month, and it drove us both crazy. I hope that you get rid of your unwanted visitors and that no more appear.
