Lord of the flies

I have those fly papers in the living room and kitchen, horrible creatures.

You and me too Polly

I thought this was going to be a literary thread!

I’m fed up with them too, I have these sticky strip things placed strategically easily hidden amongst clutter around the downstairs rooms which catch a few.

Cluster flies is what they are.

We have had an awful problem with them at home too. DH sucks them up in the hoover. They have been blissfully absent during this our holiday week, but yesterday our barbecue was invaded by so many flying ants we were constantly swatting them away and the evening was something of a moveable feast! If they had been houseflies I would have gone into a decline!

A fly screen is a good idea, but they come in the windows as well.We rescue bees and butterflies but not the flies ( can’t catch them anyway!)
There seem to be a lot of big ones about this year ( not bluebottles just big flies).

Yes, I suck them all up even the living ones, goodness knows whats going on in my hoover !
The air was amass with flying beasties yesterday , so much so that stayed indoors . Cooler and breezy and no beasties so far - Im off out !

I’ve put a fly screen over the French doors it’s been so good at keeping flying beasties out of the house.
