Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Recently I have noticed a few little flies hovering around the kitchen. Tonight there seem to be tens of them. Loads on the windows upstairs in the kitchen etc. Obviously I don't want them in the house but I also wouldn't use fly spray or anything similar. Anyone have any good ways of getting rid of them?

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Sounds like the type of flies that appear to accumulate around pot plants, I tend to get them this time of year, and also around spring. Tried venus flytraps , but the flies were too small, tried pitcher plants, but mine died, fly paper might be an option if you could find some and dont mind killing them?

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Fly paper would be probably worse than fly spray! A horrible death! If you can find out where the flies are coming from/what they are attracted to you might be able to get rid of them by removing the source. If they are coming from inside the house (eg eggs were laid on your plants and the flies are now reaching adulthood) it'll be different to if they're coming from outside. Spraying around some essential oils such as citronella, eucalyptus or lavender might deter them. , peter VV <swpgh01 wrote: > > fly paper might be an option if you could find some and dont mind killing them? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
