How do you get rid of flies from a semi-enclosed patio?
Filed Under (decks) by admin
Chris asked:


At any given time when I come out onto my patio in the afternoon, I have quite a few flies swarming around. There is no refuse on the patio — only a couple of chairs, hanging plants, and a BBQ. Nothing that I think would attract flies. They aren’t swarming around anything specifically, either, so I think that they might just like the semi-enclosed nature of the patio as a way to get away from the breeze??? Does anyone have any ideas as to how to get rid of them? If not permenantly, at least for having BBQ’s and such? Do Citranella candles work for flies? Thanks in advance!
