Now fleas are a problem I cannot have. I go bazzurk when fleas are around. go to your local Lowes or Home depot and get advice there. Tell them you want to seriously attack them. They will show you the best granuals to use. Get some advantage for your pets and use that. Yes its expensive check it out on line its cheaper than the vets. Knock them dead!

Yard Guard!! My husband swears by it!!

Also, if you want the hillbilly look, clear bags of water suspended from the ceiling or porch will keep them away. I really don't know why but it works. Alot of BBQ places that have outside seating have them hanging every where!!

Just call me sister ortho.....or is it orko?

Now, for FLIES, yep, we have been having a swarm of them ourselves, and JUST YESTERDAY (WHAT DO YOU KNOW!!!) i went to home depot to look for something called a "zinger" but they were out. it zaps them...and YES, WE WILL BE ZAPPING FLIES PRETTY SOON, TOO.
As for the mosquito magnet, yes, we have trapped zillions. they get vacuumed up this little chute and dehydrate and die in a trap. it is quite high maintenance, the propane tank needs replacing every 21 days, so does the attractant and trap, but we have gotten by 6 weeks just emptying the trap and cleaning it with an OLD (one no one is using) toothbrush.

OOPs sorry, missread! anyway with flies they are laying their eggs somewhere. Look for garbage, rotton food, poop, dead bodies, hehehehe around. Flies are annoying too. Other than that ask the guys at home depot or lowes too!

During the summer we get tons of flies for about a 3 week period (do flies have a 'mating season'?) and until I got this product we couldn't even eat ouside on our deck..I wish I could remember the name, but if you have a Home Depot nearby, ask them about these plastic bags that you hang outside, (I hang one by the trash cans and the other off the side of the deck). The stuff inside (I don't wanna know what it is but it smells good to flies apparently) attracts the little buggars and they crawl in, but can't get out. In a few days there are literally hundreds of 'em in one of these so you'll need to get 4-5 of these bags. Makes a huge difference in as soon as a day or two..
