I Need Something to Kill The Flies in The House

For various reasons, that are impossible to change, I find myself with too many flies in the house.

I need an automated system ( or passive system ) that gets rid of them, so no salt gun, fly squashers.

Additional exclusion, no sprays or sticky tapes, and nothing that stinks ( like the Bunnings fly trap ).

    Well simplest would be to solve the problem of why you have them… An open window needs mesh, etc etc

      Pet faeces needs to be picked up off the carpet occasionally.

      • once a week?

          Don't overwork yourself. Once a fortnight will suffice. Remember to bend at the knees.

      But what about the children?!?!?

        A large python should be able to take care of those.

    Nothing is impossible with the right attitude

    • Can confirm. I've got a bunch of golden orb weavers around the outside of our house at the moment. They are building massive web structures. They are loaded with bugs.

    Got flyscreens around my house and at the doors and can confirm they didnt stop the flies from coming to my place.

    So far, Ive invested on a few things, like one of those ultrasonic sound emitter that's supposedly meant to deter insects from entering the house but didnt seem to help much.

    Bought a bug zapper free standing from Amazon (which seems to work wonders with mozzies as they're attracted to the light but flies just arent coming anywhere close). I've had to chase down a few and the satisfaction upon hearing the zap was like having an orgasm :p

    Good luck

    I find this hilarious. Can you share some reasons? Maybe they're not impossible to change.

  • "I need a solution, but I am excluding all the effective solutions"

    Yeah, good luck with that.

    I spent many hours as a kid looking at something like this at my local fish and chip shop - https://www.mitre10.com.au/gecko-bug-zapper-commercial-40w-6…

    You’ve got yourself in a conundrum there. Anything automated would involve a spray or smell.

    You need a passive system, like fly screens and keeping doors shut. Remove the source h less your happy with spraying.

    Potentially you could get some fly repellent plants, but they’d probably smell.

    Flies and cockroaches are my most hated insects, just look at this yucky video:

    Can't get rid of them because they're attracted to fishy and pungent smell.
    You don't like smelly repellent, and yet there might be some 'smelly' stuff inside your house, better identify those and get rid.
