    Hi all. I am having a big problem with Bluebottles in my downstairs toilet. It's only a small room but every time I go in there may be 3 or 4 more. I have checked for any obvious openings but all seems well sealed, I just don't understand how they are getting in. Any ideas?

    You could have a dead mouse in the wall. Bluebottle larvae grow on dead flesh.

    Think it may be a rat to be honest. Will I have to find it? Locating it in the wall won't be easy

    Not much you can do to find it unless it's right at a grating or something. A couple weeks and it wont be "juicy" anymore though, and you won't have as many flies. ;)
