Flies on holly tree

Our neighbour has a large holly tree which attracts loads of flies(like bluebottles) making it impossible for us to sit outside on a sunny day. Have tried spraying leaves with garlic which stops them for a little bit but back they come. Any one got any ideas please, can here them buzzing away as I write this!!

Answer #1

Flame thrower? How come the neighbor isn’t annoyed? If they never are out there much maybe they don’t know there’s a problem, or don’t care. If it’s within range of spraying, use a spray with pyrethrum. It’s safe for the environment and people. You’ll need to use it every two weeks, unless the bluebottle fly season is short. Good luck.

Answer #2

get pest control to spray or use bug spray
