[QUOTE="NeedaCobra, post: 4168661, member: 9461"] Yes, Talstar granuals (also something similar is Bifenthren (sp?) granuals) work good for yard pests. As for the lady bugs, usually they come in around windows, doors, etc. and hang out around ceiling lights and window frames. Usually spraying a good pesticide around the windows and sealing entrances helps or elimates the problem. As for the flies, are they your usual house flies? A lot of times they'll hang around the dirty aprons/rags that are usually stored in a bucket or sack cloth. Sometimes it's good to set these outside of the restaraunt away from the entrance if they are not washed. OR, you can buy a container that has a lid, but still, flies pop in and out of their when an employee forgets to put the lid back. I usually use some VERY STINKY blue large chunky granular stuff on the outside for flies, but I forget the name (you probably have to have a license to buy it anyway). Also, if your restaraunt has floor drains, you can do what I used to do while I worked at a restaraunt. We used to use buckets of hot water with soap, scrub brushes, etc. and would throw water up under preparation tables, storage areas, etc. and scrub away. A lot of times the places under storage tables and prep. tables aren't cleaned regularly, and flies are attracted to the food residue left there. There were times where people hadn't cleaned like we regularly do, and we would start cleaning and flies would go crazy.
