So maybe in February we started to notice little flies hanging around my dad's bird cage where his bird, a cockatiel named Grayson (Or Gray, for short) resides. It's near a window so he has sunlight and can look out, and it's where he works and plays his guitar. Now, at the time we used Zevo fly traps, and I'll be honest, it didn't do anything. So it got me thinking that maybe we need to resort to the apple cider vinegar method.
That worked for a while and so we left it at that.
Then they came back in late March. And with a vengeance. So now, we have flies not only in and near the cage, but almost every corner of the house. My room, the second bathroom, the kitchen, a recycling bin ... for some reason ... and of course, where Grayson is. I've resorted to bringing him out of the cage everyday and letting him stay on my shoulder while I study or draw (I am a digital artist). I also bought a small jungle gym where he can play and even take naps.
Is there another method besides the apple cider vinegar one? It worked well, but I can't do this forever. My parents are hesitant to call an exterminator because of the cost, but I sure as heck ain't opposed to it!
Thanks, and of course, Gray thanks you too!
