Fly Spray......

[ToraToraTora]

can anyone recommend one that does not stink so bad?

[Old_Geezer]

What, one with no active ingredient ? Fly spray smells ok anyway.

[ToraToraTora]

well it's err indoors really she hates the smell so if one was available that smelt like air freshener but did the job we'd buy it.

[Old_Geezer]

Well, there are always those sticky things they pitch on & get stuck to. They don't smell much.

[ladybirder]

You could do what I do and stop them getting in in the first place by using fly meshes at windows and doors.

[ToraToraTora]

ok LB so a single fly has never entered your drum? right oh!

TTT, I've just sent for some of these tealights which are supposed to repel flies etc.
Not used them before so don't know what they smell like.

I did hear that flies etc don't like citrus smells so this morning I cut a lemon in half and rubbed it over my garden table which always has flies on it. Didn't see any more flies after I did that.

[ToraToraTora]

sorry candles are a no no for me.

[Barsel]

I've got these on my shopping list for tomorrow. Don't know if they will work but there's only one way to find out.

Works fine for me. Febreze citrus.

[Barsel]

Thanks Doug. I do get the impression TTT isn't that interested really.

[THECORBYLOON]

The link worked for me but not in Chrome.

What about buying loads of Venus flytraps instead?

[ladybirder]

TTT yes, they used to, that's why I found a way to stop them getting in. I have a see-through magnetic curtain at my patio doors (attached to the door frame of course) that stops mosquitoes/bugs/flies etc. It opens as you walk through it then the magnetic force closes it behind you. I have the same type of thing in my bedroom. There's lots of different ones on Amazon. It is rare any insects get in now and if they do it's because of my dog going in and out and of course he doesn't care whether the curtain shuts properly or not behind him.

ok thanks for your suggestions everyone. I'll look into the lemon air freshener idea.

[Barsel]

TTT thanks for the BA. Does this mean we are BFFs now?
