Benbrook Battles the Backyard Fly Invasion.

If you’ve noticed a sudden swarm of flies taking over your back porch, you’re not alone.

Benbrook residents are sounding off about the bug buzz and swapping notes on what actually works to keep them away.

From sticky traps to Pine-Sol spray, locals are getting creative. Some swear by the Safer Brand Victor M380 Fly Trap. Others are setting up disposable hanging traps far from the patio to lure flies elsewhere. A few have added mesh door covers to keep the pests out when kids and pets go in and out.

One trick that keeps coming up? Mix Pine-Sol with water and spray every week or two. It might not win any style points, but folks say it works.

The common thought is that recent rain may be bringing flies out in force. Whether it’s a seasonal flare-up or just bad luck, one thing’s clear: porch peace is under attack.

But thanks to the shared wisdom of the community, there are ways to fight back.
