BUZZ BUZZ fu*ckin BUZZZZZ:censored:
Sorry as you can tell i am RATHER annoyed!!
you only need worry about the really big bluebottle types - the other, small ones are just a nuisance but not dangerous - must be something to do with the weather this morning :roll: There's a type of fly called a cluster fly I think :rolleyes: looks for places to hibernate in large colonies in winter - I had a load of them in my unused chimney last year and couldn't understand how the piggy room was full of flies every morning when I never had a window open :shock:
PS - if you've got any mozzy repellant with that lemoney smell, they hate that too :)

We had those little buggers coming from the old coal shed at uni in our second year. It drove us insane trying to figure where they were coming from.
Yeah you just don't think of flies hibernating but they do - the bluebottles too look for little gaps at the top of your shed etc. The bunny shed had about 5 in every day when I opened it last week and I was having a fit worrying about my girls - then I realised they'd crawled into the dodgy mortar on the ouside of the wall, where they like to sun themselves, and crawled through to the cavity, and eventually found a way out into my girl's shed! :shock: I HOPE all holes are blocked with plasticine now :?
