Well what is a way to get rid of flies I have tryed everything. Please help they are everywhere

this is the worst I have seen around my kennels in a long time...and I keep them clean...

Prozap ina blue bottle at atwoods cost 4.99 n its worked amazing, also sprayed kennels with it to

Most feed/supply stores will sell 10% permethrin concentrate. It is labled as a premise spray as well as sprayed directly on the dogs, it just depends on your mixing ratio. It has a 28 day residual bonus which worked great for me. It costs between $6-$8 dollars and will make nearly 50 gallons. One bottle will last me all year easily and it is a very safe mixture as well. My place was also covered in flies, worst I had ever seen and now I rarely see a fly. Good luck to you!

I want to thank whoever it was that suggested the ProZap for flies. Atwoods has is for less than 5.00 per bottle and it works great. Get the blue bottle and you will not be sorry.

No problem on the Prozap, I work on a dairy and we are using it on our cows, keeps flys off for a long time.  I decided to try it on mine and that was over 3 weeks ago and still no flies,  reccommended to okboarhunter and I think he had the same type of results.  OK is that a correct statement?

Thanks I will try this stuff I hope it work they are taking over lol :'(

I had flies bad...I bought a gallon of the ProZap, used it on dogs a week ago, have not seen a fly on them since!

Yes! works amaging havent even seen a flie around em also thought id spray where they poop n no flies there either

I have two dogs out back soon to b three once pups get older n i bet ill have 15 bucks spent all summer on it

I already had the permethrin10 and a 16 oz spray bottle from ace hardware...the pump style...Well I mixed 2 oz of permethrin 10 and 2 oz of transmission fluid and 2 oz of charcoal lighter fluid and then topped it off with water...

I shook it up vigorously and it looked like pepto bismol...sprayed a light mist on my 4 dogs backs and also the top's of their heads with a light mist...Then I sprayed the 4 dog houses inside and out...I then sprayed the piping on the 3 10x10 ft kennels as well as under their roofs...also sprayed the poop storage container...to do all the above I had to refill the bottle once which means I used a total of 32 oz of the secret concoction...  ;D :)

well...the dogs are still alive and there are no flies on the kennels amd most importantly have not seen any on my dogs...

I used the lighter fluid and transmission fluid because that is all the oily distillates I had around the house...the idea here is for the oily substance to stick for a while...but if it doesn't hold up too long plan "B" will be to add one oz of cutter backyard spray to each 16 oz bottle of mixture...that cutter sticks for about 2 months so we will see...

Crop oil, mineral oil, or diesel fuel works very well for a sticky binder as well...

32 oz. total of the mixture above lasted 7 days and the flies were slowly coming back...So today I sprayed with the 16 0z bottle twice and covered all three 10x10 kennels and the dogs...but the dogs haven't had any flies on them...the only thing I changed is that I added 2 oz of cutter yard spray to each bottle...I am thinking the cutter will help for the permethrin 10 to stick a little better. Either way I am ok if I have to spray every ten days if it keeps the flies under control until the fly season is over...

I dont have an atwoods around anywhere else sell it? or can it be ordered online?

go buy the Python fly tags from TSC the purple ones i bought them and my dogs ears have healed up and flys are not a problem any more . All i did was to zip tie 1 tag on each dogs collar  .

google fly predtors its a bug that eats fly larvea.valley vet has them.just got sum heard there the real deal.

 i used a 40% permethin mix and sprayed the dogs over a month ago and no flies on them, just around the houses and water troughs. cant find anything more than 10% nowdays. gotta mix it strong and spray everything again.

We also
have fly predators at our dairy.  They do work, but it takes time to build them up, and they are expensive.  They won't do anything for a current fly probelm, like you said they only attack the larva, and break they life cycle of the fly.  Like I said they work, but are expensive and take time.
