Re: Flies grrrr!!
Maybe it is a bit different from my house where the flies hibernate and breed up in the loft. On the rare occasions when I open the loft door, I find quite a few up there. The flies migrate downwards into the house. Not vast numbers, but enough to curse at.
My solution has been to liberally spray up in the loft around autumn time, and close the door. (Make sure you don't inhale too much of it yourself). Sticky paper, I find, is quite disgusting.
Now will somebody please tell me how to kill the damned spiders in my workshop/garage. I have quite a few varieties living quite happily there, and they seem to be immune to normal sprays. I especially would like to get rid of those spiders that make sticky elastic webs. Horrible things!
