Use fly traps: sticky traps near problem areas and baited traps outdoors
Use targeted baits: apply gel or liquid fly baits where flies land and rest
Keep trash areas clean: wash bins regularly and keep lids closed
Manage waste outdoors: move compost and yard waste away from the house; cover compost properly
Control breeding sites: clean drains, empty mop buckets, and remove decaying organic matter
Use a vacuum: vacuum flies and dispose of the contents immediately
Consider indoor residual treatments: use labeled insecticides for surfaces where flies rest
