Keep Flies Out of Your Carrollton Apartments

One way to keep flies out of your Carrollton apartments is to fill a clear plastic bag of water and hang it over the doorway or window. The idea is that as light refracts through the bag, it creates a large reflection of the fly. The fly, seeing a huge creature in its way, won't go through the opening. Putting a penny in the bag of water is also meant to be an effective tool. The theory goes that the fly sees the bag and penny as much like a spider and its web, and so is scared away. Putting tinfoil in the bag is also said to work. Flies are scared of other insects.

If you find that flies congregate on your Carrollton apartments windowsills, put a glass of water containing a few drops of dishwashing soap on them. The flies will be attracted to the water and then get permanently stuck. It doesn't stop the flies coming in, but it's a good way to make sure you don't have dead ones lying all around the window frames where you can see them. Sticky tape is also great for catching flying insects. Hanging it right next to windows and doors will make sure that the flies don't get very far into your apartment.

Now remember, you might actually be inviting flies into your Carrollton apartments home without realising it! Make sure that you clean up all messes from your outside areas, empty your trash regularly and don't leave food lying around on counters or tables. Don't have standing water near your entryways. All of these things are great attractors of flies. Also make sure to turn off unnecessary lights as light attracts flying insects. If you keep a clean home with nothing for flies to feed on, you should find that you have less of a problem than before!
