Anyone else inundated by these things? God they are vile! I have some in the kitchen, some in the bathroom and they've now spread to the birdroom. I'd fed the birds rice and pulses last night and every single cage and bowl had these things in them! I've wiped the cages down as well as I can for now, as well as in the process of cleaning all their bowls. kitchen is gleaming, bathroom is next, trap set in the kitchen, and no fruit of veg for the birds for a few days till I can clear the little vile things out!  They get everywhere, I must have vacuumed about 20 off the window, next time I look there's another lot!  I was running round the kitchen like a mad thing earlier flapping the towel about trying to kill the little wotsits!

Will be jet washing Friday to get cages gleaming so nothing to attract them too, scouring house for bits of food but I cant find anything, but they must be coming from somewhere! EUGH! 

 Well kitchen cleaned and everything hid away, bathroom cleaned (eww to the window frames lol), vacuumed loads up, and I think I may have found where they are coming from.  Whilst I was cleaning in the kitchen I noticed there was a lot around my vent on the window (it's one big window), it broke a long time ago and I never got it fixed , so just put cling film round it and left it LOL But I think they are coming in from outside, so going to sort something there, and just try and get rid of them in the house in the meantime. Pesky horrid stubbern things they are, especially when you cant use fly spray in the birdroom! 

That's why Im stopping the fruit and veg for a little while and leave them just on seed.  Know it's not ideal, but until the 10 days incubation period is stopped they will still continue to be around  hate em, hate em

Helen, are you pulling my leg? My new neighbours already think I'm a nut job with lovebirds humping my wolves footie hat whilst I'm wearing it, now armed with an electric tennis racket........straight jacket will be waiting.

Will try the fly paper and see how that does, 

Cheers

Vicky, it really works lol - a bit like the blue bug zapper that you get at the chip shop.

And so what, you'll look just as nutty as I do PMSL

 They are good IF you can catch the bloomin flies! My mom has one, and she finds it hard to actually hit the big bluebottles as they are so fast, but once you've touched them it does work well.

Glad to report most of the fruit flies are gone.  Trap in the kitchen has worked, and sealed the gap up I think they were coming from, I reckon they were just attracted to the food, bloomin things
