Hi,
I live behind a horse stable and so get swarms of flies in my kitchen. I’m at my wits end dealing with at least 9 at a time buzzing around the kitchen. Also, I gave stomach disease and a sensitive gut meaning even low level pathogens from these flies are enough to trigger nausea and Diarrhea esp as it’s a lot of flies which will have sat on horse poo.
I’ve tried:
-keeping windows shut (not great in this heat and they come in when I open the door to empty bins or hang laundry)
-plug in bug repeller ultrasonic noise thingy (doesn’t work at all)
-highly rated fly paper (also only caught 2 flies out of the 50 or so I’ve seen this week inside my house)
-Fly killer electric grid - zapped and killed about 10 or so flies (not bad but only really works when it’s dark outside for them to be attracted to the UV light and often they get up and escape after 1 zap)
- ‘Rapid’ brand fly spray (barely works as have to spray it at it 5mm away for it to be effective and then effectively flood it in the stuff to kill it as otherwise it starts recovering within seconds
I’m tired of feeling so ill - what can I do? Tried and tested remedies only please. I wash all dishes in very hot water and soap and still get a poorly stomach.
