Spiders, Fleas, Ticks & Flies in New Jersey: Your Questions Answered
Real questions New Jersey residents ask about everyday bugs in and around the house.
- Drain flies breed in the film inside drains
- Flea treatment works best when pets are treated too
- Yard tick treatments target shady edges and leaf litter
- Fewer insects means fewer spiders
What is good to get rid of flies?
Find and remove the source first — trash, fruit, drains or a dead animal. For drain flies, scrub the drain to remove the film they breed in. Then treatment and traps finish the job.
