I don't live by a river but we have shit loads we can't get rid of,and no amount of cleaning and spray will get rid of the little bastards

I've got lavender bags everywhere to deter moths, seems to be working on the flies too

veggifriedbreakfast · 21/06/2018 14:32

Lavender bags??? What are those?

The little bastards keep landing on my face and I work in front of the camera so I just and swipe and I'm going crazy

Little mesh bags full of dried lavender!

They smell beautiful and yes no more horrible flying critters

You can buy lavender bags on amazon.

Ooh thanks ! I have a lavender plant that my friend gave me in the garden and I'm sure I have a few organza bags floating around a drawer.

I'll give this ago, or I'll get some off Amazon, didn't realise they were so cheap :)

BillywigSting · 21/06/2018 15:46

Even better op, cut a few stems, stick them on a sunny windowsill for a day or two and put them in the bags, job doneGrin

veggifriedbreakfast · 21/06/2018 18:51

Oooh wow OK, so do I put it near the doors and windows? You guys are saving my sanity

Yes just where ever the little blighters seem to like hanging around

Spray them with hairspray and ignite them.
They hate that.

KinkyAfro · 21/06/2018 21:48

Fucking hell ethylred that's awful and totally unnecessary

I’ve got a mozzy machine. I’m hoping it works on flies.

My great grandma used to say that the best way to keep flies out of the dining room was to put horse shit in the kitchen, but I don't suppose you'll find that helpful 😀.
