Comment on How do I figure out where flies are entering my house?

I was having the same problem and we couldn’t figure it out. I tried hanging up some old school fly paper strips and withing a week or so all the flies were dead on the fly paper and they haven’t come back.

I impulse bought a fly zapper on Amazon last night so hopefully that helps. But I had the same problem last year - albeit not nearly as bad as right now (there’s probably 20 inside at the moment)

I find most of the indoor bugs don’t care about the fly zappers. Not a set and forget solution, but in my experience nothing compares to sticky yellow things on a window. Hanging fly paper is good too, but getting what they walk on is best.

They seem to congregate around my grow lights in both rooms so I’m keeping my fingers crossed. Hopefully not a total waste of $30

If it’s the only light source, flies love the blue light disco. Useless in the day but effective in the evening.
It’s fun luring them by turning on and off the lights in the house so they follow the light, until you get them near the blue one and game over.
