Hi Shirley

Thanks for you question. Yes there is something you can do, sprinkle the soil with a little Garden Lime which will kill off any Fly larvae. Plant Pyrethrum in the garden to make a spray from the 2 T leaves mixed with 1/4 C water and 1/2 Tsp Ecostore dish washing liquid. Spray this onto the garden soil and plant foliage. The best thing to plant in the garden to deter them without having to do anything more is lots of Basil. Basil comes in lovely purple shades as well.

Happy gardening
