Are there homeless people going through the trash at night?
• Locate and eliminate all possible breeding sites. • Move all trash receptacles as far from buildings as possible • Dispose of all moist garbage, rotting vegetation and animal feces in bags; dispose of bags in proper receptacle. • Keep all dumpsters and garbage containers clean and dry; all dumpsters need tight fitting lids and should be emptied in a timely manner. • Seal all possible entry points to exclude flying pests from homes and businesses. • Spray surfaces around windows and doors where flies are seen resting or trying to enter structures. Wettable powders such as Cynoff WP are the best for surface spraying. • Use surface spray on lids and sides of dumpsters and other outdoor garbage containers. • If necessary, use space sprays and pheromone traps indoors to reduce populations of adult house flies. • Fly baits should be placed on or in dumpsters on a regular basis, during fly season. • Use combination of Ultraviolet and Pheromone Fly Traps in restaurants.
