Default Swarms of Hoverflies

There do seem to be a lot of hoverflies around this year, which is great for
the greenhouse, but it's also great for my pitcher plants since the
hoverflies don't seem to learn, maybe you could buy some of these and let
them munch their way through your crowds.
On the other hand they don't do any hard, are actually good in the garden,
and don't really make any mess.
Maybe you should plant some coriander/fennel outside the house, try to lure
them all back out !

Is anyone else plagued by hoverflies? They're in every room in the house
sometimes over a 100 at a time. My wife is talking about banning flowers

in
the garden!

I don't suppose theres any solution other than keeping windows closed or
stopping gardening, not a practical proposition for a plantaholic who

finds
anything over 18C too warm!
