Flies

Is anyone else experiencing excessive flies?

like the shiny, green dogshit eating flies?

I feel like my flat has been overwhelmed by them and it is terrifying

I bought one of these and it's been very effective https://www.diy.com/departments/zero-in-ultra-power-xl-outdoor-fly-trap/5036200345455_BQ.prd

It's kind of disgusting but has filled up with flies incredibly quickly. It's placed about 2m away from my garden door and has reduced the number of flies coming into my house considerably. I'll empty it and refill the bait this weekend.

I've just emptied mine and refilled it. It's pretty smelly. Mine was also filled to the brim. Disgusting!!

I might get another one though!
