House Flies

Where's John Gormley and his campaign against "blood sports"? Flies are massacred by the million in this country in the most painful wat and the Green party doesn't lift a finger, but they can extinguish an entire industry to make sure deer don't get a fright.

Seems to be a problem in newly built houses lately, moved into my own house 4 years ago and had the same problem for about 18 months, eventually they go away

We had a problem with them a couple of years back and got the environment boys out.  they said it could have been to do with the chicken manure spread in the fields and they got it sorted out. havn't been as bad this year.

Rang the council before that and some numpty told us to paint the house black to sort it out.  honestly its not a wind up.  some dozzy people hired in them places.

The sister-in-law walked into one of these bad boys in the mother-in-law's house. It was fully laden at the time and stuck to her hair

I got rid of these buggers this year!!!! What i did was put an insectucutor in the attic and left it on for a month, cleared out the attic, had to empty the tray every couple of days, the amount of them was unreal. This year i landscaped the garden and removed a "sod- clay" ditch that was along one side of the garden, the amount of flies that that came out of the wall was unreal. Once the wall disappeared the flies went too. Hope this helps. To be honest i found the rentokill treatment very limited in its use.

I remember one day last summer when sitting in one day, I managed to kill about 10 flies and a couple of wasps and they were just lying on the window sill like a war scene.

Feckers came on to private property!

Stew would be proud of you

Serious amount of wasps in my house lately, they are all acting as if they are wrote off.  Just walking about with no real point, still have to get rid of them though and seems to be so many compared to any other year.
