Managing Pests During the Summer with Disposable Fly Traps

"Summertime and the living is easy," the old song goes, and for many of us it rings true. While we may languish a bit in oppressive heat, we also enjoy a wide array of activities that are inviting and unique to the summer. There are outdoor cookouts perfect for entertaining the family, friends and neighbors. You can swim in the pool for hours on end, avoiding the heat but not the powerfully tanning sun.

Of course these and all manner of outdoor fun can be stifled by the summer's uninvited guests: bugs. Whether that brisket smoking on the grill is inviting flies or your delicious skin is welcoming mosquitoes, you have to be able to manage bugs during your outdoor activities in the summer. That might mean bug spray and citronella candles for avoidance sake, but it should also include disposable fly traps to take the problem on a little more head on. 

During outdoor meals, disposable fly traps can be placed in areas away from the food to assure that bugs are not landing on the food you happen to be eating. This is not a small job. Each and every time a fly lands anywhere it dispenses its waste. This means any item of food a fly lands on has microscopic bits of fly feces. While that might seem insignificant, even small amounts of bacteria can make humans and pets incredibly sick. By killing the flies, you can assure the safety of your food, though you might still want to invest in covers for dishes that will be sitting outside.

As far as the pool goes, flies and other bugs can become a persistent issue when trying to keep the pool clean and the water safe to swim. Again the same truth of flies carrying diseased-bacteria rings true. If those dead flies that float on the top of your pool get into kids' mouths, they could become quite ill. Not to mention, it is gross. With disposable fly traps strewn around the pool, you can significantly limit the amount of bugs that make their way into your swimming water and make getting rid of the dead flies significantly easier.

Whether you own a pool, plan on having cookouts or just intend to leave your home this summer, disposable fly traps are a must have. They will allow you to live comfortably and disease-free.
