I learned about poison for flies from neighbors. They are at home flies in the barn Agitation. I have a chicken coop and a small barn in my yard, I keep pigs there every summer. Naturally flies flock to the smell. I worked the walls at a height of 1.5 meters and the ceiling so that the pigs could not reach the poison. As a result, flies became much smaller, new flies every day and die almost immediately. Very effective remedy.
