stop living like a pig for one, and if it's flies, hang up a zip locked bag of water somewhere on the wall

Clean the carport every once in a while. (Including the cobwebs), you filthy pig bastards.

Stand in the middle of the carport with a fist cocked back*.


*Note: This works only for badasses.

An open carport filled with trash?

Not trashy at all

Spray anything with a Citrus scent.

Its amazing how fast the outside of a house gets dirty and keeping the spiders away helps alot.

I use that home guard bug spray every couple of weeks... works pretty good.

get some geckos. Since I've had them in my carport I've had ZERO spider webs or other bug nests. the must surely eat a LOT and you rarely see them except at night when you turn on the lights you will see them scurry away and on some windows at night you can see them doing work.

And I'm not kidding.

They definitely do. Something died in our garage while on vacation and there were flies EVERYWHERE!

I took maybe two or three mason jars, filled them with water/sugar/white vinegar, and just took a piece of paper and funneled it into the jars.

Within 3 hours, they were completely full.
