Flies in Conservatory,
 
What do people use to get rid of them, Electronic Zappers? Feromone glue
traps? sprays?
Any recommendations based on experience please.

Don I tried just about everything.
In your home Electric Zappers work well, but a flytape will get those
reluctant to the zapper.

You can buy the battery powered zapper real cheap, and if you put them in
every room you should not be bothered again.I think i paid £35ish for 7 of
them from Aldi or Netto a couple of years ago

The downside is that they kill every insect that flies or crawls into them,
good or bad.

If you find a supplier will you let the group know please.

I got an electronic fly zapper but it failed to attract a single fly. They
just thumbed their noses at it ;-)
Maybe I should have got a more expensive one.
I fall back on the fly papers, which are not pleasant but I won't use a
poisonous spray that I might be breathing in myself and definitely not those
"will last three months" things which my friend (a famous dog breeder) tells
me interfere with her house dogs' oestrus cycle. If they can give out
chemicals that can do that - I want none of them.
So I suppose my safe solution suggestion would be glue-type fly papers
unless you are a master swatter operator.

P.S. wild garlic all up and running

Is it difficult breeding famous dogs?

Because your friend is a famous dog breeder.

Now if she was a famous breeder of dogs that might be different.


D'oh !

Ah, I see you are pedantic. She is a famous breeder of dogs (and her dogs
are famous too)
Hope that helps with my lack of correct English.

You knew exactly what I meant though - were you having a bad day or
something? FGS.

No - swatting is required.
Unless you want to breath in fly spray that works by disabling their
neoro-transmitters. I don't want to..but feel free if you are sure it won't
endanger your health.
