The flies are a nuisance pest that may invade your house during autumn, spring, and summer months. They can enter your home through the windows or doors or make use of the fireplace to gain entry points. The removal of flies from your home that gets into your fireplace could be a challenge. Before you can address the issue with flies it is essential to determine the root of the issue. To get rid of flies in your fireplace, follow the steps outlined below.
Take out any animals that are trapped within the fireplace. Flies within the fireplace can be due to a dead animal like birds, a rat, or squirrel that is caught in the fireplace. Remove the animal trapped in order to reduce the root reason for the flies. Get a chimney sweep from your local hardware store. It is a long pole that has an attached brush that is designed to clear and clean any obstructions in your fireplace. Get on top of your roof and then stick the sweep in your chimney flue which is the part that allows gases and smoke to escape from your chimney. The chimney sweep should be moved around to free and release the animal trapped.
Use a flame to kill insects. Eliminating any animal that is in the fireplace will stop new flies from getting into the chimney, however, it will not kill existing insects. In the event that you own a fireplace that burns wood begin an open flame to kill any remaining flying insects.
Install an insect bomb inside your fireplace. If you are using a gas-fired fireplace and aren’t keen on starting the fire, you can purchase an insecticide from the supermarket. The insecticides emit a vapor into the air that kills insects. Pick one that kills insects, and make sure you read the directions before making use of it.
