The best fly repellent for your patio is the one that works for you. Mosquito Squad offers highly effective fly control services.

Flies are renowned for their annoying nature. They are more than bothersome pests, though. Flies are also known for the innate ability to introduce filth into your private spaces, indoors and out. Their bites hurt. Once they show up, it seems they’ll never go away. There are ways you can defend your backyard patio from flies.

Keeping Flies Away From Your Patio: DIY Fly Control Solutions

There are more than a few ways for you to reinforce your defenses against flies invading your patio. There are the usual suspects: fly paper, bug zapper, and fly swatters.

There are inherent flaws to these methods of fly repellence. Fly paper is messy and technically, it doesn’t keep flies away from your patio. It traps them there. Bug zappers are known to attract flies and zap them accordingly. However, there are downsides to these lights. The light itself can be unsightly. It produces sounds and visuals that we could really do without while trying to relax on our patios. Fly swatters are not great for a couple of reasons. First, they are always missing – Where did I leave the fly swatter? Next to that, who wants to have to physically protect their patio against flies? Patios are for outdoor enjoyment, not work.

Efforts you should make to bolster fly control for your backyard patio area include:

Cover up garbage receptacles
Keep pet waste picked up
Place compost materials away from your home and keep them inside a covered bin
Do not throw old food or table scraps out around your home
