Have a little check around to see if some food might have been dropped some where and if so, are there any small brown oval egg shaped cocoons? If they keep appearing even after you have sprayed them, it means they are hatching out from some where, even the bin is a possibility. Keep spraying them, they will go eventually, you dont have to fork out ?200. Be brave, it will be worth it to save the call out fee :)
You don't happen to have a lot of banana's lying around. Had lots of flies last summer which particularly liked banana's. Have had more though this year with the banana's under wraps and just kept spraying them whenever we saw them. Seem to have gone now. So keep spraying. You will get rid of them.

sounds like you've got something rotting and the flies are hatching from there, could there be a dead rat/bird/rodent under the floorboards ?

is there a foul smell - have a sniff around the floor ?


you can get fly paper at the DIY stores on LL or down by ED station. Once stuck on that they will never escape


those big green flies are gross aren't they !

Hi all, well I sprayed fly killer then hoovered up bodies (cancelled pest control on advice of people on here and other friends who I phoned in hysterics) - must have been about 50 then they just stopped coming....there is no foul smell coming from anywhere though I accept they must have come from something rotting. Could it just be that maggots have hatched, flies born, I've killed them and now they're gone or could there be another lot of them coming soon?...

Had the same fly problem 2 years straight! it was a NIGHTMARE!! i cannot deal with anything insect-ty at all. Walked into my flat and the window was covered and there was also around 10 dead ones on the carpet. They were the big black flies which means something was rotting, but because i live in a flat conversion and basically have walls, and ceilings like paper, the dead rodent could have been anywhere, a couple of kind people on this forum offered to help as i was petrified.


went away after 2 days, with me frantically hoovering and spraying, it turns out my upstairs neighbour was living in a dustbin. He moved, problem solved!!

Probably not relevant here, but Mr Twirly had a similar problem a few years ago before moving down south and in with me. He lived near a beach, and they were doing some work on it, moving tons of sand around - resulting in the flies being made homeless and moving in with him (and other people). Maybe there have been some sort of excavations near where you live and they've been made homeless from there?

    • Unfortunately Nissan was a disaster of a company when it created your car and still is, and most recently created another combined disaster alliance with Renault. Be aware, the trade value on your car is really low as no one wants to do the work & it's often only when it reaches near scrap value that someone (else) is willing to invest (their money) to try and fix. So if you're willing to front the money and fix your car that (you know) then that is most likely your best option (also understanding that it is outrageous that you should have to replace a CVT gearbox after 50K). If that isn't appealing consider a new Skoda Fabia 1.0 (Auto) on finance if you can't afford cash, it will last 20yrs.... (and avoid cars from the Stellantis group)
    • If you are referring to me, I was using my mobile. Just quoting the post I was replying to would have made no sense without showing my original post as well. I wouldn't have been able to do that on a "real PC" either, assuming I carried one around with me everywhere. It's nothing to do with what I'm using, it's the way the forum is set up to quote posts. I did insert a screenshot showing the keyboard by mistake.
    • You have to book for the Sunday roasts in advance. I have bad memories of once going for a circular  walk around Downe and then trying to eat. The Queens Head staff (and customers)  looked at us as if we were mad for attempting to get a meal without booking. The other pub in the village  reeked of bleach.  We had to  drive around in search of a meal, and ended up at some large pub whose name and location  I have thankfully forgotten. All I remember is the food, which was truly awful.
