How to stop flies coming in through back door

7 replies

It seems the moment I open my back doo the flies flood in

Are there any cheap solutions which mean I can have my door open and the flies won’t come in?

You can put up a mesh screen. I used the sticky fly paper near the door which seems to work ok.

The jml fly screen not expensive works a treat until your dog attacks it

Plastic bag with water and coins works, apparently. There's a thread running somewhere, chat maybe, on tips that work. Read the fly thing on there.

There's a thread on here with top tips people were amazed actually worked.. The first tip is something like hanging a clear plastic bag with coins in water in it near the doorway to stop flies coming in.

No idea if it works personally, but looks like it does from the thread. 😊

A plastic bag with water and coins you say?!

Well I should be able to give that a go
