Oh yeah, the plague of grill flies, been there, hated that...

Bucket Citronella candles guys!!! A good smokey fire will also drive
them off.

How about during the heat of the day?

Citronella will work any time of day or night. I use it more to chase
off mosquitos tho' when I'm working outside or grilling. There are also
tiki lamps and they sell citronella lamp oil around here for those.

I need to leave open buckets of it around ;-)

Yah gotta light the wicks! <g> Home stores and wal-mart often sell
Citronella candles in buckets. The tikis work well too and I personally
find burning citronella oil to be pleasant smelling.


If I have a fly problem, I hang those drowning fly traps. "Rescue fly"
above head level in the trees. If you hang them high, you don't smell
them when they start getting filled up with dead flies. They can get
pretty rank.

I'll sure look into that, not a bad recommendation at all - keep it out
of visual/nasal range.

Precisely! Rescue Fly traps, I purchased them primarily from Lowe's but
I'm sure you can find a distributor, or just order them on line.

I just did a quick google and it appears that Amazon.com has quite a
number of them. They sound a bit expensive at first, but each one lasted
me a couple of months. Just top them off with water as it evaporates and
when it gets full of dead flies, DOUBLE BAG IT in a good pair of trash
bags and discard it.

My fly strips do start to look pretty depressing by July. The Swallows
are not pulling their weight near enough...
