Blue bottle flies.........I kill you.

It's that time of year when I have the back door open and all I hear is buzzzzz buzzzz f'ing buzzzz while watching TV.

I have moved my bins to the front/side of my house but they are persist little feckers.

What do the wise boards members recommend to kill them, I don't want to get lung damage from fly spray.

Evil little winged bástards! Get one of those zappers you see in the butchers and position it by a door. They will fly to the light and die!

I have a Venus fly trap in the conservatory by the back door and he munches them all right up.

The only way to get rid of them is to remove the source.

Move and\or seal your bins.

The problem is not so much the bluebottles but you yourself. What is causing the flies? As bluebottles deposit their eggs in decomposing organic matter, their appearance that decomposing matter is present nearby. Do you tie up your rubbish bags properly and is the bin sealed? Is there a break in a sewage pipe? Is food left out in the open? Something attracts them and just blaming the bi s is not enough. My black bin only goes out every couple of months but I have no problem with flies.
Look to the cause rather than for an unobtainable cure.

otherwise known blue ass flies. go onto YouTube and look for a video about killing them without the use of a spray.You might be more successful searching with the blue ass term as used stateside.

Get 2 wooden blocks about 2 1/2 inch square.

Paint one block red,

Paint the other one blue.

Number the blocks. number 1 the red block and number 2 the blue block.

Place fly on block number 1, (the red one).

Strike fly sharply with the number 2 block, (blue one).

Repeat as ness.

I've one of these electric flyswatters, purchased for a massive €2. It's great fun killing the little buggers and keeps me fit too. A word of warning though, the smell of a blue bottle frying on it is horrific.

MadsL

I have one of these. Works, not perfectly but it is huge fun...

They're great fun! The lady i gave it to is a bit of a sadist, she prefers to nearly kill them and watch them suffer for a few seconds before zapping them again :eek:

My cat takes care of them in absolutley spectacular fcuking fashion.

We had one a few months ago at the top of the curtain in the living room. The cat sat at the bottom for about 30 seconds, sizing it up, before leaping up and catching it in it's mouth.

If you want to get rid of blue bottles, then why not just paint them green or some other colour?

Couple of practical problems here. Don't use paintbrushes. Use spraypaint from your nearest halfords. Then there's the time needed for the paint to dry. Although you can put the flies on flypaper.you don't know how the poor critters will be able to fly afterwards.:D

Hedgemeister

I'm surprised that nobody has played the Racist' card (yet) on this one, considering the poor little bluebottles are black in a bluey kinda way?

Ah now they aren't exactly tsetse flies. A small amount of food poisoning is good for you, toughens you up.

Venus fly traps attract flies though, they're about the worst thing you can buy if you hate flies.

It's because you're putting the blue bottles in the regular bin; if you put them into the recycling bin then they'd never want to come out.

My youngest boys have fly swatters and they go into commando style every day now in search of flies, it keeps them busy and play together for a while without killing each other, joined together against one enemy -the fly
