Damn flies
mookaloid - 9/12/07 at 12:33 PM

over the past few days I've had to kill 2 or 3 bluebottles in the house every day.

Where the hell are they coming from?

They do my head in

I can't think it's anything like that - we would have noticed a bad smell

edit - no pets at all ever.

Cheers

LOL

Sadly its just not cold enough to kill off the little bus and buggers we hate, although i have seen a rise in the fly squating since the 2 week gap between refuge pick ups which doesnt help.

The loft will do it every time.

Loads of them up there just hiding away from the winter.

Ours like to sneak in from the combined bathroom vent & light unit.

Flies will hibernate anywhere thats dry, warm and easily accessible. Window frames are common places, especially if the windows are poorly fitting or locked slightly ajar.

It'll be the heating bringing them back to life, leave it off for a day or two and they'll be dropping like flies.

I had a little bother in a previous house. There was a hole from outside into loft (old water tank vent pipe hole). birds used to get in. I blocked the inner hole. I think a bird got stuck in cavity and died. Flies took hold of it and entered house in ground floor (mabe maggots fell down???). Not nice.
I bet you dont have a cavity though.
Dead mice in loft?
