How can I rid the world of flies?

    I'm sick of the bastards. Those fruit flies that buzz around you and land on any exposed skin they can find. Trying to sit out for an hour on a rare fine evening and you can't relax with them. There must be a way to get rid of them once and for all. I mean how important to the ecosystem can they be? Then, in a couple of hours we have the night shift of midges to look forward to. I swear, I'm nearly looking forward to winter.

    Even in a small spray bottle....first hint of it and flys disappear for hours

    Citronella candles/oil will help repel them.

    Malt vinegar in a jar will attract them and drown a few of the feckers.Otherwise go with the citronella like what already mentioned.

    One afternoon I went to my folks to find that the kitchen was swarming with flies. I took the brush off the head of the hover and hovered them all up. There were all gone in about 10 minutes. Musta been about 30 of them. Much easier to do than you think.

    It’s the ants I don’t like any hole’s a goal for those little fcukers. Spent many a long afternoon in my shed trying to caulk up any gaps yet still they appear
