harrycatcat1 Posted 22 hours ago Report Share Posted 22 hours ago I bought some fly catcher ribbons from Tesco about a month or so ago and they are rubbish. I hung one up so it's been up 3 weeks plus and despite flies coming in the house not one has gone onto the fly paper. Β Do other folks bother about flies? My Mrs is paranoid about them, "filthy things are in again" etc. Does anyone use anything like this π€ https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/354861614781?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=1sa1pct3rxo&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=v2P7Ib7BQsi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enfieldspares Posted 22 hours ago Report Share Posted 22 hours ago I lack the hand and eye coordination needed to use a fly swat with 100% success. I bought some flypapers on Friday from the local Co-op. One caught so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie B Posted 21 hours ago Report Share Posted 21 hours ago Only thing worse than a hape of flies in the house, and that's a hape a them yokes, full of dead fliesΒ hanging round the house. Use a fly swatter. Not many flies around these days, compared to years ago. Only see the odd few in the house, from time to time.Β Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie B Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Don't think those electric USB things are any good. Just read the description, and it would be useless for flies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oowee Posted 35 minutes ago Report Share Posted 35 minutes ago We are in the country close to a lake and huge bird colonies. Flys and other insects are a problem. Fly tapes are at best messy. I bought a plug in chip shop style purple tube zapper like thisΒ https://www.nisbets.co.uk/nisbets-essentials-commercial-fly-killer-16w/fd499?vatToggle=incvat&cm_mmc=PLA-_-18129508709-_--_-&cm_mmca1=go_18129508709____c_&kpid=go_cmp-18129508709_adg-_ad-__dev-c_ext-_prd-FD499_sig-CjwKCAjwhvi0BhA4EiwAX25uj_JXdlGsza66F11tvizzTfINdehbnu6Ltmq6UCQ9nK-_5-_VREir6xoC8UUQAvD_BwE&gad_source=1 It works a treat but it will not get fruit fly's. For them i simply put a slice of apple in the bottom of the catching tray and they get zapped milling about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
