The American Beagler Forum

Any suggestions on how to keep flies from staying around? I clean kennels everyday and have a nice set up (Senecca Above Grounds). I just see quite a few flies. I have tried spraying and it works great for a couple of days and then their back again. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Off or Repel if they're just in a box or two. Sevin spray works real well if they're bad all over, we had the same problem w/ a couple beagles and a lab last month.

The ground under the pens becomes contaminated very quickly, this draws the flies to feed and breed.
Build up a bed of 4-6" thick crushed lime under the pen. This keeps the smell down/packs well and is easy to clean up waste. If you've got it under a lean-to, all the better to stay dry...

Thanks for the replies will try the crushed lime. I keep hydrated lime down but not a whole lot of it. Thanks again.

I haven't tried it on my above ground kennels but I'm thinking a sprinkle of 7% bug dust under their kennels will help rid the fly population . It's just a thought but I've seen evidence that it may just work . Any input would be appreciated .



Thank you ,

These work really well and their pretty cheap.

I have used these for years! Makes a HUGE difference in the fly population here. Of course we don't have any now as we are frozen but, from may-sept I get a package each month. Worth every penny!
