Michelle S asked:
Its been raining the past few days and all of a sudden there are tons of flies in my vegetable garden! They don’t seem to be flying around the dog **** much, but more towards the vegetable garden. How do I get rid of the flies without damaging my vegies, preferably without using harmful chemicals?

the flys won;t harm your veggies - just let them go away on their own. Maybe introduce some spiders to your garden (to eat them)

is there something dead laying back there, like a squirrel or dead rodent? I have never had flies in the garden except around **** or something dead.

My guess is you used manure in your soil that’s where the flies laid their eggs completed their cycle in the ground. The rain just speeded up the process - they’ll fly away. In the meantime don’t add anymore manure, and be sure and remove any fallen fruits or veggies that will attract them.

Buy a fly trap.They are plastic and you add water to them and it kills hundreds of them.We use them in the horse barn.We get them at tractor supply co.

Ladybugs or spiders will kill them.
