I’ve woke up this morning and opened my kitchen window and went into the living room to clean, went back into the kitchen and some flies must have come in through the window and climbing all over the dirty dishes from the night before and just over other things, I’ve killed them now and disinfected the areas I’ve just seen them on but they could have crawled on everything in the time I went back and seen them but it’s making me feel ill the thought of them climbing over stuff when they’ve been all over other really disgusting things then on my dirty dishes, clean dishes and my counter tops! I’m not bothered by most stuff but one thing I can’t stand are flies, pregnant or not they make me feel sick. How do I keep them away? I really don’t want to be eating off plates and things flies have been crawling over with their dirty feet!!

That time of year where there will be around no matter what you do.
We have fly paper haning in the kitchen to catch as many as possible.

Have you talked to anyone yet about your anxiety?

Yeah that’s true, I hate the buggers anyways they drive me mad, I’ll get some sticky papers then hopefully I’ll catch them.
I wouldn’t say it’s anxiety as such because I’m not worrying about anything else but flies make me feel ill pregnant or not I hate them anyways so it’s not anxiety it’s just my hatred towards flies and how disgusting and dirty they are!

But you posted on the pregnancy bit so I was wondering if flies are making you more anxious because you’re pregnant...

It's very odd to worry about flies being in your house because you're pregnant. I get being annoyed by flies - but being pregnant really is neither here nor there in relation to them. I agree with pp you sound extremely anxious.

As for keeping them away, don't leave dirty dishes out from the night before. That will obviously attract them. Fly papers to catch them as well.
