My wife and I are having a serious problem with housefly infestation. While our house if immaculate, our next door neighbor is a trash collector. No not garbage collection as it is her job, what I mean is that she comes home all the time with just plain old trash that sits in her from yard. The front of her house looks like Sanford and Sons does. Not only that, but she has about 4 to 6 dogs and about the same amount of cats, but I am getting off track. Anyway, our washroom in our basement looks like the room in the exorcist.
We put up flypaper and within hours it is covered in flies. Can someone please help me to find a remedy to keep them away? I have tried many times to find their point of entry, but to no avail.
Are there any tried and true household remedies to repel these pests? I have 2 little ones so I don’t want to use anything toxic and the room is not well ventilated. Money is tight right now too, so an exterminator is not within our means either, plus I don’t feel as though we should have to pay for their services as We are not the cause or source of this problem. Thanks in advance for your help in resolving this matter!
I have an irresponsible roommate who refuses to watch her dog and keep it out of my room. I have tried baby gates and other barricades to keep it out but it always manages to squeeze through and the baby gates don’t fit my door. The only way is a repellent but I need one, if possible, that cats are immune to as I don’t want to repel my cat from my room. Thank You.
There used to be an animal shelter near our house and it has moved, but a lot of people in the county don’t realise this, and when they see that it is closed, they just dump their animals off and a lot of them end up at our house.
They are having litter after litter, and we catch what we can and take them to the humane society, but we have a barn and we cannot go under it, and that’s a huge breeding ground…is there some type of herb or scent they hate? We need a deterrent for them this is getting out of hand. I don’t like cats but I hate to see animals in this conditon…
We have a dog but she is too overwelmed with the problem.

I have a 2 1/2 year-old dog, and she has fleas. I’ve recently run out of dog flea spray, and she’s scratching like crazy tonight. I have a bottle of "Hartz Flea & Tick Repellent for Cats" and I was wondering if that was safe to spray on a dog.
MASTERS – Multi-Aspect Sensory-Targeted Enemy Response System. Having a problem with deer or other unwelcome animals turning your “red gold” into brown gold? Fences a bit unsightly? Here’s a deer (or any animal) repellent technique for the backyard garden using a motion-activated water sprinkler ( I bought it on amazon), along with a homemade piece, a couple of pie plates with a bar of Irish Spring soap inside to serve up a nasty dose of sound (sprinkler and drum sound from water hitting pie pans), sight (the water spout and the wobbling, spinning pie pans with a scary face sporting fangs), smell (irish spring soap), taste (irish spring soap) and touch (water spray). This allows the attacker (you!) to hit on all of the intruder’s senses at once. An overwhelming display of force. The proverbial “Shock and Awe”. Message to intruder: You are not welcome here! The sprinkler works like it is supposed to, and the pie plates add another angle to trying to get a handle on problem animals. Water enters into the holes I made for the “eyes” on the pie pans. It drips over the soap and exits throungh a little hole on the bottom of the pie pans. After the sprinkler goes off, you can definitely see and smell soapy water dripping from the bottom of the pie pans. Some of the diluted soapy water may get sprayed on the enemy as it drips out the bottom of the pie pans during an event., whicjh is a beautiful thing. The plants emerge completely untainted. This method is much easier than …
