How to keep flies out the house in the summer

House bugs in the summer

House fly control

Don't like flies and bugs either! It's time for the insecticide and bug control chemicals to come out and to wage war on the crawling and flying insects that dare to enter our houses.



One of the things I don't like about the summer months is the way your house gets invaded by flies and crawling bugs. Not a fan of them so I wage a war and dig out the insecticide.

08-9-2009 I hate booklice/psocids. They come every summer and are horrible little bugs that are hard to get rid of. All the sites say cut down on humidity and keep your home aired.

26-7-2009 The little brown bug that people are referring to that is ladybird like with light or darker brown speckles sounds like a carpet beetle.

Something about the refracted images confusing the flies or the weird light from the bag making them avoid the area - instinctively avoiding spider w...moreHate insects

20-5-2008I am having one heck of a summer! I live in South Texas (USA) and it has been in the high 90's the past few weeks. Well last week the wires in my A/C unit caught fire and so I have no A/C...........I need to keep the windows open so the pets and I can breath. I add cool water to the fish tanks ...moresemvama

30-4-2008Ah yes, the bug season is upon us and summer is approaching. Flying insects, bees, wasps, flies etc. I've just discovered that we're being attacked by masonry bees - or rather the house is. Fortunately they can't sting us but they do damage to the property. Anyone know of a quick fi...moreHate insects
