Urgent - Fly problem!!

Question

Ok I have a really really bad problem with flies int eh last 24hrs!!

Thes flies aren't your typical small fruit flies which you tend to get one which hovers then lies away if the windows is open. These are those big buggers, didn't get too close as I hate those disgusting things but they may well be blue bottles. I have already squished 2 with tissue and noticed that they were kinda shiny blueish in colour.

Anyway I noticed just 2 last night and thought as it's summer they both must have just flewn in the lounge window without me noticing so just tried to get rid of them out the window. I've woken up today and there were 3/4 in the lounge. So it took some furniture polish and some oust to get them out but I managed to squish 1 and get 3 out the window. Only an hour or so later there were 2 flying around in my lounge and I couldn't understand as I've not opened my window since!!

I went into the kitchen and there are 4 above my cabinets. Now the surfaces are clean, there's no food about so I can't understand why they are here. We have never had a problem with flies in this flat! I've got people living above me so I was wondering if it's someting to do with them as there's a gap between my cabinets and the ceiling in the kitchen which is where they seem to be hanging around. I clean the surfaces in my kitchen every time i have food, and wash up every day, and never have food out so I don't understand.

If anybody has any suggestions I would be really grateful as this is really urgent as there are quite a few, and I don't want anymore to come along!

Thanks x

Hi, my name is Justin Bridges. I have studied to be a science teacher and could not help but notice your question. Flies like all creatures have comfort factors that attract them to different places, they like you like the air around them at a pleasent temperature, shade, watter and a good food supply fairly close, remove the comforts and the flies will leave. I would suggest finding out if the opening above your cabinets can be sealed. It will probebly remove your pest problem; but they may still come through the window. A well fitted screen is the solution there. Hope this was some help!
