I have used those sticky fly papers.They do look awful but they are cheap enough to change regulary and they do a very good job. I hate flies and I dont feel at all sorry for them

I have resorted to fly spray i'm afraid - they are driving me mad

What could possibly be the source? Have you got the bins near that window. I find net curtains good. We used to have stables near our flat when I was young and they drove us mad. Mum would draw the curtains to keep them out but the window open for air.

not too sure of the source, my bins are out the front of the house. it may be my neighbours they are out the back just over the fence. it doesent help that my backdoor is in the living room and my dc are always in and out so nets are not very practical for me

Hi there,
Have you tried using 'The Spider Catcher' from Lakeland Plastics?
