How to kill flies in my vegetable garden?

Question

Its been raining the past few days and all of a sudden there are tons of flies in my vegetable garden! They don't seem to be flying around the dog p**p much, but more towards the vegetable garden. How do I get rid of the flies without damaging my vegies, preferably without using harmful chemicals?

Answer 1

the flys won;t harm your veggies - just let them go away on their own.  Maybe introduce some spiders to your garden (to eat them)

Answer 2

is there something dead laying back there, like a squirrel or dead rodent?  I have never had flies in the garden except around p**p or something dead.

Answer 3

My guess is you used manure in your soil & that's where the flies laid their eggs & completed their cycle in the ground.  The rain just speeded up the process - they'll fly away.  In the meantime don't add anymore manure, and be sure and remove any fallen fruits or veggies that will attract them.

Answer 4

Buy a fly trap.They are plastic and you add water to them and it kills hundreds of them.We use them in the horse barn.We get them at tractor supply co.

Answer 5

Ladybugs or spiders will kill them.
