I learned about the poison for flies from neighbors. They are at home flies in the barn Agite. I have a chicken coop in my yard and a small barn; I keep pigs there every summer. Naturally flies fly to the smell. I processed the walls at a height of 1.5 meters and the ceiling so that the pigs could not reach the poison.As a result, the flies became much smaller, new ones fly every day and almost immediately die. Very effective remedy.
