Last year, only had 3 dogs and really did not notice very many flies. This year, 4 more dogs and noticed quite a few flies over the weekend. Any recommendations on keeping them under control?

we hang up about 5 0r 6 quart size zip lock bags of water around our kennel.
a old timer told me about this at a BBQ fund raiser i was at.
i thought he was full of poo, but the wife tried it and it works.
i have a few friends that do it now also.

Creolin works great for me, sprayed on dog houses kennel floors and around kennels once a month thru the warm weather.

We just hang up box fans, the air flow keeps them away. Also hangup some fly strips along with it.
