How to Prevent Flies From Getting Into Your Home
WouterThe first step to prevent flies from getting into your home is to make sure that your window screens fit tightly. There should be no gaps or holes between the window screens and the glass, as this will invite flies and other pests into the home. You can purchase these window screens at most window stores or a hardware store. After purchasing the screens, you can install them to prevent flies from getting in.
Houseflies are the most common type of fly that can get into homes. Most windows contain both a glass and screen layer, and if the screen becomes broken, flies will be forced to crawl through the glass. If the screen is damaged, it is best to get it fixed as soon as possible.
If you cannot prevent flies from entering your home, you can use sticky traps. These traps can be placed near your windows or on the window sill. Sticky traps will attract flies and they will become stuck to the sticky trap. You can replace the sticky trap if it gets full of dead flies.
Another way to keep flies out of your home is to keep your windows and doors closed. Flies will enter a home through open windows and doors and will crawl through cracks and holes. Keeping your windows and doors closed during the day will keep these pests out.
