Eliminating all the house flies around your property would not be considered a realistic goal, but you can control the fly populations at a manageable level.

Indoor Fly Control

Fly Sprays:
A spray may be a desirable solution if you have a space that is too small for a fogger, or if you would like to have a fast acting spray on hand for later use. A bug bomb would be better to use if you have a larger area to treat. A spray or a fogger is a good choice if you have a lot of activity inside and you need to get rid of the flies fast. You will eliminate any flies that are out during the application but you will not leave behind an active residual. Most sprays and foggers will require you to leave the room after the application and ventilate before going back into the room.
Fly Baits:
There are a few fly baits on the market that can be used inside for fly control. Indoor house fly baits are usually not very noticeable and can be used in residential and commercial applications and will work well in places where sprays are not able to be used. Indoor fly baits come in different formulations. Make sure you are only applying the products where they are labeled to be used to avoid contact with non-target animals like pets, and children and to guarantee effectiveness.
