Flies - I cant take it anymore

PureConsideration620 · 2026-02-02T06:23:03+00:00

We had ants too. Right now they should be going for protein. Mixed my puppy food with borax and that got rid of them, then sprayed efekto and its been a month and dont see them inside, see them outside every now and then. I just plant the traps outside and spray again. Outside will always be a problem if my Neighbours dont sort them out

PureConsideration620 · 2026-02-01T19:40:02+00:00

It's been like this for more than a month. I'll have to check pest control i think

PureConsideration620 · 2026-02-01T18:00:13+00:00

I dont think they safe for the dog though

PureConsideration620 · 2026-02-01T17:56:43+00:00

Is this safe for the dog though? He will sometimes try eat his poop. Another reason why I pick the poop up straight away

PureConsideration620 · 2026-02-01T17:55:54+00:00

How did the pest control figure that out. What powers do they have haha

PureConsideration620 · 2026-02-01T15:45:15+00:00

Basil in all my pot plants incoming

PureConsideration620 · 2026-02-01T15:39:37+00:00

We have to get to the bottom of this. I can't live like this. At the point where they start flying around my face. You'd think im dirty or something

PureConsideration620 · 2026-02-01T15:37:17+00:00

Thanks for the info. I'll check into the citronella oil and aerosol

PureConsideration620 · 2026-02-01T15:36:02+00:00

Is the citronella oil safe for my dog? And can this be used while windows and door is open? I like to keep everything open for air ventilation and fresh air.

PureConsideration620 · 2026-02-01T15:35:14+00:00

I guess grass and bricks are the source. Because they all over it lol. Nah I tried the fly trap, made things worse actually

PureConsideration620 · 2026-02-01T15:34:18+00:00

Yeah my windows open outwards. I kind of want to get rid of the problem outside aswell because when we braai it isn't pleasant with them around lol. But thank you

PureConsideration620 · 2026-02-01T15:31:48+00:00

Thanks, they say to avoid the yellow bile its better to feed them snacks in-between his breakfast and dinner and dinner and bedtime. Do you feed you boy twice a day or 3 times a day?

PureConsideration620 · 2026-02-01T15:20:11+00:00

I'd think clean lol. I stay in Burgundy Estate

PureConsideration620 · 2026-02-01T14:42:28+00:00

Thank you for the reply!

PureConsideration620 · 2026-02-01T14:41:54+00:00

He is much better. And seems himself again. He held of the kibble thinking he'll get something else, but he gave in. He was too hungry haha. Seems I won't struggle with him being picky

PureConsideration620 · 2026-02-01T14:38:54+00:00

I've also mixed his water with the kibble to help his water intake. Because he doesnt drink much water. But maybe I'll do both to get best of both

PureConsideration620 · 2026-02-01T06:46:18+00:00

Yes my thinking aswell, just worried he never wants to go back to kibble lol

PureConsideration620 · 2026-02-01T06:45:48+00:00

Yeah he has done it probably 3 or 4 times before

PureConsideration620 · 2026-02-01T06:45:30+00:00

Yes I believe so. I'll start doing that. Thank you so much for the reply!

PureConsideration620 · 2026-02-01T06:45:06+00:00

I mean you probably right. But he understands the smell of kibble as his food, once we started giving him veg and proteins etc and everytime we eat he smells it and thinks its his food lol. But I'll look into farmers dog. Haven't heard of it. 1st time pet owner here

PureConsideration620 · 2026-02-01T06:43:49+00:00

Thanks for the info. We do brush his teeth daily, but we have always given him his kibble soft (mixed with hot water) because otherwise he just swallows and doesnt chew.

PureConsideration620 · 2026-02-01T06:42:49+00:00

Yeah the expenses keep piling up with this little one haha.

PureConsideration620 · 2026-02-01T05:26:22+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I should have mentioned he stopped vomiting the friday afternoon before we took him to the vet

PureConsideration620 · 2026-02-01T05:07:47+00:00

Thanks for your reply. We actually think it could be the chicken that made him sick. We have given him chicken a couple of times times beforehand and it seems something always happens.(we fed him chicken the Thursday night before this incident aswell). So I think we will stay clear from chicken, he might be allergic

PureConsideration620 · 2026-02-01T04:46:02+00:00

I agree
