How do you get rid of horseflies in the house?

Answer 1

I found out putting a couple of shiny copper pennies in a plastic baggy filled half with clear water does the job. I just nailed them to trees were i had a problem with horse flies or wasps. it really worked for me. Can walk down to the lake, get my mail or bring trash out without worry of getting stung.

Answer 2

After doing a little research, I came upon a website at www.cedarcide.com that offers a product called Cedarcide granules that are supposed to repel horseflies, mosquitoes, etc. I can't find this where I live and I don't want to wait for the product, so I am going to try this.... I am going to my local Walmart gardening center and getting two large bags of cedar mulch and a couple of tubs to put it in. I plan to put one tub at each end of the pool and just see what happens. If you do decide to opt for the cedarcide, please let me know how it works. My email address is brendacgrimes@hotmail.com. Good luck!!!

Answer 3

You probably aren't putting enough chlorine in your pool, so shock it with chlorine. If you think you are, buy some chemical test strips to determine the toxicity of your pool. Make sure you keep the chlorine at 4-5ppm for 10 days!!

Answer 4

You can't, unless you screen the pool the only thing you can do to decrease the irritation is install a floating pool skimmer as this will get rid of floating materials far more quickly.

Answer 5

You can swat them, use fly traps, or spray them.

Answer 6

I've seen fly traps which you can hang near the pool to attract the flies. It seems to do the trick.

Answer 7

Go under the water
