Flys...

[yummymum]

I have woke up the last few mornings to a house full of flys, ive checked everywhere and there is nothing i could find that could be attracting them also they are in every room so i figure it must just be because of the change in wheather,

i was wondering if anyone knew of any cheap and if possible natural way of getting rid of them??

We once had a room full of flies due to a dead bird behind the gas fire - flies lay their eggs in dead flesh which hatch into maggots which hatch into flies

yes, i have had a few flies too, not that many though.

could it be a pigeon or mouse in the roof or under the floorboards?
my house is old and has lots of little gaps

[joko]

oh and you could try fly paper or open all the windows

we had a similar thing happen as 1955 did. we sprayed the room with fly spray and shut the door and left it like that while we went to work. did the same thing for about 3 or 4 days, and finally they all went. soory, don't have a natural solution for you.

you could put some good dance music on and dance around the room witha fly squatter,, failing that ..the fly spray should work.

Thanks all, I gave in and went and got some fly spray, the only reason i didnt do this in first place is because i have a parrot and i didnt want him breathing it in, so i sent him on holiday for the afternoon!! Just hope there are not loads more 2morro when I get up!
