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.

I wouldn't call it a problem, just a nuisance. In our house they're on the
large bathroom window, not more than two a day. I reckon that there's a
mouse corpse under the floor somewhere.

I wouldn't use a spray for any of several reasons but I keep a magazine near
the window and hit them. Most drop to the sill where they can be swept off,
two are still flattened on the glass but it's been a very busy time in the
last few weeks. One day they'll be cleared. Sprays make as much mess on
glass.

More wasps than flies round here. And I don't mean just us. We had lunch
in Totnes yesterday at a pub overlooking the river and there were wasps
everywhere. We decided to go inside eventually and two joined us in the
dining room!

Yes!


I've seen about 4 flies during the last fortnight.
They must be spending the summer away from wet South Wales.

We have quite a big problem with flies here as we are in a National
Forest and next door is a farm. We have fly screens at the bedroom
window and our doors have mosquito nets on the outside, even though we
don't have mozzies, fortunately! I am just grateful that our bin is
emptied twice a week, once for plastic etc., and the other for
household waste.

The solution is not to put food waste in them. We don't have any
problem with flies, because we chuck everything on the compost heap.
And, no, houseflies and similar don't breed on that.

The flies aren't necessarily breeding in our bins. :)

One get rats instead, according to what has been posted here? :)

The solution is to empty the bins more often than once a fortnight, but they
knew that when they stopped doing it.

You are absolutely right Martin, how stupid to leave a bin for 2
weeks, in Summer????? What about young mothers and all those
disposable nappies, two weeks of disposable in the bin, I would think
we will end up with health problems before long.

Well, if you have insanitary neighbours, then that is a different
matter.
