Nothing ruins dining al fresco or an outdoor gathering quite as fast as swarming flies around food and drinks. They aren’t just annoying but pose a health risk by spreading bacteria from the pathogens they pick up from their feces and rotten food. Contamination takes seconds.
Tips to reduce and get rid of house flies:
Keep food covered with mesh food screens until ready for serving
Keep grill lids cover down -lift only to flip food
Remove standing water - Getting rid of these water sources can keep flies from multiplying
Don’t overwater your garden
Remove pet droppings from your yard
Keep trash cans covered with tight-fitting lids and at a distance from your patio
Wash out recycle and garbage bins to get rid of the sludge and liquid where flies most commonly form
A fan blowing a gentle breeze over cooking, prep, and eating surfaces will help keep flies away
Keep screens in good repair
Light a citronella candle – the strong scent will help repel flies
