re: Best fly prevention for outdoor kitchen/pool area?

One of the best things I've ever used for flies are the Red Top Fly Traps. If you have the room, I can't recommend them enough. They smell after a while, so having the room to locate it away from your area, you want to be upwind of the prevailing wind, is best. They catch a ton of flies, and because they use an attractant/bait the traps lure flies away from your gathering areas.

They may not be a solution for small lots, but they do work.


And that is how they will look, that is no BS advertising.

ETA: I've never had them attract flies to any other area than the trap. I first used them during a wet Spring/early Summer after farmers spread chicken litter on fields closeby. We had terrible flies on both our front and back porches. It took 2-3 days to start working, but after that we rarely saw another fly around the porches, yet the trap was covered.
