Patf Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I don't know where this belongs, but Wildlife will have to do.They're driving me mad at the moment - where do they come from? Especially here in our living room when I'm on the 'puter, or relaxing with my feet up. I've managed to kill 4 with the swatter, and they're lying there in front of me. Just got another - 5 now.Do you have any, and if so how do you get rid of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyh4 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 So far this year it has been better than previous years - probably because I have installed a fly screen at the door - which is normally open so our cats have access to their food. The food of course also helps to attract flies, so I am pretty happy so far this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patf Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 That seems to be such a good idea - thanks. They've not been so bad today as I've kept the outer door closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonzjob Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 It'd better be good 'cause I just ordered 2 [:-))] from Amazon U.K. I looked at the .fr site and as so many times they are taking the Micky with their price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alittlebitfrench Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Patf said ....."They've not been so bad today as I've kept the outer door closed"Well that is your answer then. If they can't get in they can't get in.We bought a white chic fly net for the door. Problem solved !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minnie Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 We use the old fashioned fly papers - seem to work well. Obviously keep these away from food prep or eating areas but otherwise fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each has a small weight at the bottom and the tops are stapled to a round piece of wood which fits to the wall with plastic clip in pipe supports. You just walk through it and the cats can similarly find their way through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mint Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Oh jonz, you mean that you have to read aloud to them? Perhaps it's just your accent they don't understand if they are French fries (oops, I meant to write flies)......sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonzjob Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 That should have been Flench fries surely? [8-)]Edit : - I meant to ask if this is the paperhttp://www.audeflyer.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patf Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 Would you believe it? It's a lot cooler today, TG, and no flies at all, even with the doors and windows open. During the week they must have been queueing outside, waiting for me to open the door to come in and get cool, or have a drink of water. Perhaps they do have a brain?
