Natural solution for Cluster flies as the temperatures drop and these little guys head indoors.

If you think summer is the time for swatting pesky insects than you have never encountered Cluster flies. These guys are big and black and make their debut in the fall when they tend to hover around the sunny side of your house. They are looking for warmth from the north winds and are very sneaky about finding ways into your house to hibernate for the long winter months.

On warm days they will craw out of attics and wall spaces in a drunken state looking for a way back outside, often in large numbers.

Some people refer to them as attic flies. The good news is that when they are inside they do not reproduce. The females only lay eggs outside in dirt. As winter approaches their main focus is finding a warm, cozy, winter hideout. The bad news is that you have a ton of flies in your house!!! The flies can leave small dark-colored spots of pooh on walls and windows. They are not known to carry diseases that affect humans but fly pooh is fly pooh.
