Many flies trapping and killing devices and chemicals have been manufactured. From table centerpieces to fly tape in the corners, we’ve been pounding flies since the beginning of time. We have screens on our windows and doors, screens on our porches, we have bug zappers, we spray chemicals, all to keep bugs away while we enjoy the outdoors.

Flies are generally attracted to food and other sources of heat / humidity. Areas prone to developing bacteria. Flies come into contact with many decomposing substances when looking for food or a place to lay their eggs. They can transfer bacteria and diseases everywhere. Also, they bother me.
There are so many different flies, I was looking and I think I saw 245 ?. There are all kinds and they are everywhere. One of the things that defines them as flies is their compound eyes. Flies have one pair of large compound eyes and generally three ocelli or simple eyes. Each compound eye is made up of hundreds or thousands of photoreceptor units close together called ommatidia. Each ommatidium is an individual sensory cell and the nerves of these ommatidia are connected to the optic lobes of the brain. The fly has invested A LOT of brain power to be able to see. They confuse their eyesight and feel threatened. If they feel threatened, they stay away. A defense mechanism that has maintained them since the time of the dinosaurs.
With these balls, the flies just stay away. Amazing! It’s great, hang them up and go. No more flies.
