How to get rid of flies in house?
 

We've had them for a day or two now and they're always too fast to catch. :bored:

How do you get rid of them?

citronella candles

Well, I let the spiders stay and they eat them.

I never heard of that before, I looked it up and it seems like a pretty cool natural bug repellent.

Same, we never bother to get rid of spiders or kill them.

Sounds stupid but fill a clear bag with water and tie it up near the window or the door that they are coming in through..

Like I said sounds stupid but it works.

Or buy those manky sticky things that catches them (they are revolting though)

get a kitten they terrorise flies

we had this problem and they had laid some eggs in the bin the cheeky bastards and it was like a never ending supply of flies until we finally found where they were coming from, but yeah you might have some eggs somewhere

Well i've got one of those tennis racquet bat things - with batteries and its brill ya get a nice zap noise when they get batted (well really they are electrocuted) well worth the £3.99 as i've slaughtered tons of the nasty basts !

Lol I was just about to post that - I got mine on a trip to France - they are awesome. If we don't use that our dogs are very good at catching and eating flies :)

just leave the window open with the light on that will get rid of them

burn the house down

Reece, I don't see what good a penis pump is going to do... flies aren't impressed by size.

move the bodies.

when we lived in Spain we used to get loads of flies and my husband used to drive me nuts, he was always walking round the ruddy house with one of those zap bats you just mentioned, I used to think it was cruel to kill them like that. I remember I used to shout 'for gawds sake put that ruddy bat down before I zap you with it' LOL

Flies dislike lavender and lemon scents.

Thanks for the replies. Josy's suggestion was actually quite helpful as they did seem to be crowding around the door/wall area. Let's just hope they don't come back...

:laugh2:

Flies aren't really a problem in my house... for me, it's mainly moths.

One of the funniest things ever is when there is a spider or some kind of bug in my house, my cat will spend hours hunting it down and taunting it :joker:

Aw my dog did that once, there was a spider and he kept licking it into his mouth and spitting it out each time with one leg less... It was just a dot in the end :(
I felt really guilty for weeks about that as I drew his attention to it.

I'm calling the RSPCA to be honest. :hmph:

I'll go quietly ..... :bawling:

If you want a way to kill flies without buying extra **** or hanging bags of water around your house, just get a spray you have lying around, deodorant etc and spray it at them. Kills them instantly.
