Pest control products are used to remove species that negatively affect your property or environment—creatures that infiltrate barriers, erode structures, and kill or cause harm to plants, animals, or humans. Pest management is found in the form of mechanical traps and chemical solutions that are targeted toward specific species.

It is better to start fly pest control before they begin to swarm. This is when warm weather first arrives for the season, where you can use larvicides to prevent them from hatching. Generally, you will want to wait until June 1 or later to apply fly tags so that the summer months are covered. Keep an eye on your livestock and home throughout the summer months. Rotate through your pest control for flies so they don’t develop resistance to the products. Your property will generally have a better chance with multiple preventative measures at work. See our fly products above for tubs, sprays, and more that you can use simultaneously—but NEVER mix chemicals.

You’ll want to be careful with the household pest control products you use, which is why many sprays come with harm-free solutions and traps that don’t hurt to handle or set off. For flies, simple hanging ribbons and bag traps can do the trick when placed where children and animals won’t be bothered by it. For small animals, try our live catch traps when using pest control at home. Check those traps often until the issue is resolved.

Lawns and gardens come with naturally decaying garden food, animal residue, and moisture—all of which naturally appeal to pests! Flies and birds are attracted to a variety of flowering plants, both for their nectar and resemblance to decomposing food. A fly’s ideal breeding ground is a place where water gathers and stagnates, and small animals look for damp, foliage-rich areas to build their nests. Develop a pest control lawn care routine to reduce the impact of harmful insects on your grass. Use traps and repellents in your garden and flower beds to prevent housing small animals.

Now knowing which parts of your yard appeal to pests, you can select the proper fly and pest control solutions in our guide! See our Lawn & Garden section for the full list of animal repellents, pesticides, and herbicides available.
