  • In this video I show how to get rid of many of the flies and maggots around your house. They are incredibly easy and effective. I will talk about the life cycle of the fly and why cutting them off at the beginning of it will get rid of thousands of flies before they even become an issue.

    Great tips, I'm gonna get one of those fly/bug killer doo daddy's for my garbage can. Lol I'm so paranoid about any bugs, and I had a wild idea to tape the bags. And then I see you, Tape the bags. But, your taping job is a whole lot better than mine. I was going in the wrong direction. Thank you for the tip, I'm gonna use your way, starting tomorrow!!! It does make a difference. Especially in S.W.Forida ,that black garage can is a humid oven for sure. Most important, Thank you for your service!

    So glad I came across your video, will be getting the guard, and already had the can of fly spray. Totally forgot about it, but my garage is overrun with flies, and it leads straight into my kitchen, which they try to follow me in. It’s been a nightmare. The fly strips are a joke, so spraying until I can get a guard.

    Years ago I found a product , I forget the maker, it was like a clear plastic decal, placed on windows. It was chemically treated. Killed flys dead. Purchased at Lowes; could never find it again. If masses of flys entered the house which would happen in the summer without finding the source, all needed after decals placed was a vacuum or broom to dispose of dead flys.

    Personally ,
    Instead of duct tape...
    I use electrical tape.
    Gather the top of the bag
    (The same way)
    Squeeze air out
    Pinch the top of bag
    (To hold vacuum)
    Spin bag & tape off
    (One inch below top edge of the bag...
    3 wraps stretched & 3 wraps un-stretched)
    Easy Peazy
    &
    Use less tape

    Here watching videos on flys/maggots. We had our trash cam infested and we cleared it outnwithbwater and bleach and no more maggots. But for some reason, the maggots started to come into our garage. We bleached and poured vinegar on the floor and cracks and they died. But this morning there were more! Killed em and vacuumed them out.. no more but im sure later there will be a few more. Hopefully they are dying and the ones coming out are just the few that remain..

      @@Josh-os4qk most cities that don’t GAF (give a fart) charge a resident for regular garbage collection and the garbage bin is usually included with the garbage collection and dumping it into a big hole of garbage. The unfortunate truth is most residents who want to have their recyclables recycled in a separate recycling facility using a special “recycling only bin “ where the recycling material is washed and separated to make it easier for the people working at the recycling plant to separate metals, plastic, glass, cardboard etc and make the residents wanting their recyclables recycled pay for an extra and separate fee for a separate special recycling bin and different collection service to come collect their recycling waste and unfortunately it usually gets put in the same big pile of garbage at the trash dump facility. It’s been going to the same hole for awhile now. People are getting scammed into paying more for their recycling to get recycled but it’s not happening. It’s so much easier and cheaper to just throw it all into the piles that will and have been pollluting the environment with so much toxic crap in the land sea air and animals we eat and micro plastics are found in more than half of humans bloodstreams. It sux but it’s all about the greedy politicians who don’t care about their own health or their children’s health and happiness. They won’t be around to see it so why would they care. Sad truth. I’m typing with gloves on so my apologies for the run-on sentences and typos, or miss pronunciation, but you get the jest. I wish it weren’t the truth, but it is.
