Yes. Non recycleables in black bag, securely tied........in wheelie bin,
lid closed, in shed, door closed. When opened a few days later, full of
maggots. The latest is more worrying.........when I come home from work,
one kitchen window has 8 - 12 flies on it. I can see no reason why they
congregate there. They seem to be becoming imune to sprays, I nearly have
to drown them in the stuff! What are your problems dj?

every time we swat em there's another's immediately taking their place. We
bought hanging fly papers and have not caught one fly. I think this is down
to manufacturers being unable to use certain toxic substances now in the
sticky mix.

we attended a local pubs Hog Roast and the place was absolutely swarming
with them, over all the food.

we live on the edge of farm land and there's a chicken farm not to far away
but this is way beyond the norm for those breeding grounds.

Yes, we found maggots in the rubbish bin a few weeks ago and that's the
first in 20 years living here.
