Killing flys in the garage but not harming my rats

[braids]

Ok so I've got rat racks in my garage and when I keep the garage door open when going in or out or cleaning the tubs there seams to be alot of flys in the garage when the roller is down. Then they are stuck in there. And with an internal door to my house they get inside and I can't handle it no more lol. Has anyone tried one of those sensor units from Woolworths that spray every 15 to 30 min to kill insects? Would it do any harm to my rats or baby's ? Not to mention the residue that's in or on the rats would it harm my snakes when feeding? Thanks braids

I think you would poison your rats... Just buy some fly tape And put it everywhere

I am testing a fly paper roll in my garage and so far it is working well. The idea of it i that it just hangs off something and the flys get stuck to it when they land on it and die. After a few weeks you just throw the roll into the trash.

I got them from bunnings and they come in a pack of 8.

I wouldn't use those timed sprays, my gf's family use them all throughout the house, including those perfume ones too and they're horrible. they leave a residue on everything and after a few days you can start to feel the floor and basin and things start to go a little sticky, they don't even kill the cockys and stuff around the kitchen, I'd just use that tape, it's very effective from what I've seen

Read a thread called Alternative Mite treatment

They use an artificial insecticide which is very similar to Top of Descent
Harmless to mammals birds and probably reptiles as well

I use flypaper with good results, bunnings sells it.

Top of descent works great for me and i have used it in my enclosed rat shed for years now with no dramas at all.

Braids where abouts are you located ?
