I've had these tiny flies in my house for about 2 weeks.

No fly spray kills them. They move so quickly and are hard to keep track of in flight.

I have to cover every item of food. I even found three in the fridge.

And I am not alone. Apparently these flies lie in wait and then enter the fridge door as soon as it's opened, but you barely notice.

I have to be on my guard when eating. One landed on my hand as I was lifting my fork to my mouth.

So prepare and beware.

Do you mean those little fruit flies? We get them in work, they're attracted to bins so make sure you don't have the same bag with old food etc in it for too long, once you get rid of the bins and the old food they usually disappear too

Or check that you don't have some old fruit or veg rotting away somewhere sneaky

Or get rid of that dead body

check under your pillow for that tv dinner that went missing

We’ve suddenly noticed quite a few really long legged spiders around our house !?!

They actually look just like daddy long legs without wings

I can’t ever recall seeing any before, oddly enough

We had a massive problem with tiny flies at one point for over a month, could NOT get rid of them, no matter how often I removed and cleaned the bins... couldn't find a source...

...eventually discovered with it was. A banana had fallen down the back of the microwave and had been there for months .

That'll do it

I hate those little ****ers, they were such a problem when I worked in Pubs too, always around the bins and anywhere where beer had spilled or pooled.

Spiders are great for getting rid of those pesky flies.
We picked a load of berries a few weeks ago and my husband put them in the fridge before washing them. The following morning I opened the fridge to find spider webs!

Generally though, I like spiders (just not too many of them at once) and I'd never deliberately kill one.

That's like something out of a horror movie

Spiders are needed
they eat all the bugs.

So when you can,
leave them in their corner.

The work for us.

That's a hard no from me

Of Course,


Maybe just a room you are not using as much


There was a Spider in my sink
I ignored it, as I ran the hot tap
a Moth was trying to escape
so I killed that, fast.


So that hard-working Spider
only appeared there to get that horrid moth

I always seem to get spiders hiding in the wing mirror of my car and they never seem to appear so I can catch them. I won’t drive it for a couple days and then when I do I’m greeted by some huge spider web he or she has been working so hard at.

Oh I hate those, I did manage to squash one a couple of days ago but there's always more, I don't like to think about how many of them are hiding in there

I like the wee fruit flies. If i am having a drink at night in the summer one always buzzes around when im at the computer and i always tell it that it wont like wine.



The fact that I am talking to a fly is not the point
