Does anyone have any suggestions on how to keep flies from landing on the house? We live in the country and get little spots of bug poo all over the siding, it's driving me crazy.

Hi,
We have cattle and flies. You can find a stronger 409 like an industrial kind. It works really good. Yes, you can scrub but often it will take forever. You might even just try the 409 regular that you can buy and see if it will work first.
Good luck.
Use a product called Greased Lightning I get it at Lowes just spray it on and the fly crap just runs off the spray with a hose and gone.
We have cows and lots of flies. The flies love our vinyl siding. We buy Awesome spray from Dollar Tree. It works amazing! Spray it on and most of the time you can spray it off with a water hose, very little scrubbing.
Does the awesome take the color off?
I have heard that mint repels flies. I have on occasion cut pieces of my various mint plants & sprinkle the cuttings around my back yard. I live near a lot of apartments & the people r real pigs, the alleys get filled with trash & the trash cans are awful. So I get the overflow of flies. It does seem to work. The mint oil might do it, but it's a place to start.
Grease lighting takes it off rather well. But I am also looking for something to spray on my house to keep them off so i don't have to do this every other week.

We recently had a bout of warm weather and the flies swarmed to the siding of my home to keep warm. The next day I notice a million little dots where the flies had been. I took a scrub sponge to it and I can't get it off. Does anyone know what it is and how to get it off? It's on my front door as well and it's not very pretty.

Its probably fly poop. Use your garden hose and a old broom with some dish soap or multipurpose cleaner and scrub. It will come off.

Thanks just came in from trying the Windex solution and can't thank you enough you have solved my problem and yes I understand it takes a little elbow grease and that is not going to just run off you actually do have to wipe it so thank you very much. Problem solved'''
