   Few things are worse than a house full of flies. Many things attract a fly into the house and once one gets in it seems many more follow. What may start out as simply a few flies can quickly turn into an infestation. The first step to fighting flies is knowing what type of fly they are and then you can start to rid yourself and your house of flies.

 
 There are four types of flies that you may find around your home. Drain flies are found in drains or sewers. Fruit flies like garbage or other rotting food products. Phorid flies like drains, garbage and any rotting organic matter. Sphaerocerid flies are found around rotting food sources and drains.

   The first step in getting rid of flies is cleaning up. Since flies like dirty areas, a good cleaning of garbage areas and drains is a great start. Keeping food put away in sealed containers and cleaning up messes as soon as they occur is something that has to be done to help avoid flies.
   You need to make sure that the flies cannot enter your home through holes in your window screens. The holes can be patched or the whole screen can be replaced if badly damaged. Note if the flies are coming in through cracks in the door. If your door does not close all the way or has visible openings when closed, you should repair it because flies will use those cracks as entrances.
 
   To help get rid of the flies in your home, hang fly rolls. These sticky rolls hang from the ceiling and catch the flies as they are flying around. You will need to change them often to keep them ready to catch more flies. There are also sprays you can buy to use for flies.  If you want to prevent flies from buzzing around you personally, try a natural fly repellent for your skin.
