Flies

[tall@wide]

I have never seen so many flies than I'm seeing this year. My house is a metal building and the flies cover it in the thousands. They get inside the house and die all over the floor..In the garage and outside the building you can hear them, it sounds like bees swarming it's so loud..Anyone else seeing this, and how do you solve this problem? Spray the metal building with a pesticide?

Terrible here also.
It's tough to keep Flys out of a metal building unless it's been spray foamed.

Same here with my metal building. I have half finished and they get in somewhere for the heat as it cools down. I was told cattle nearby cause it. Not sure. Anywho last year I sprayed Bifen I /T twice in October around doors, windows and above my porch roof. It seemed they were getting in near the porch roof. Didn’t have one fly on the inside. Hope that helps.

Put up a few purple martin houses at my grandma's place this summer. They moved in pretty quick and seem to be doing a number on insects around her house/garden.

Ha ditto at my place and at my shop! I have it sprayed four times a year, but I swear these guys are spraying sugar water! Smh

Wow...this is interesting. Yes, same here in SWMO. Here over the past week I wonder if they've moved this direction due to Helene?

Cattle are also covered in them.

They have been bad this year, even before Helene. I keep the truck windows closed so that the cab doesn't fill up with them while it is parked. Hog farm I worked on many eons ago put out

Not sure you care to do that.

I'm going to get a pest control company out to see what they recommend

I called a pest control company and they said you can pay me or buy Bifen I/T and do the same thing cheaper. It works

I had my shop sprayed by commercial pest company. Walked in this weekend to a billion dead flies. Maybe the spray just kills them? Sure didn't deter them from coming in
