Because...something kind of similar happened to me. Because flies lay eggs and they can be preserved for a very long time until the conditions are ripe they could have been eggs lying in wait just waiting to hatch.<br /><br />It happened in my old house. But fortunately it happened in the basement. It was like some kind of twilight zone experience with the buzzing of flies. I gave up trying to kill them and just closed the door and within a few days they all keeled over with basically nothing to eat down there. I thought about smoking them out...but with a cat and a little girl - I decided no on that.<br /><br />Yes, flies are disgusting. We have a fly zapper that I bought my husband because he is almost phobic about them too. I like the idea about the vacuum. I have one of those too here! Hope your fly problem gets resolved soon!Honduras Sprouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09816093647072132150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478449031437311318.post-54568253585675804922009-08-11T09:07:20.570-07:002009-08-11T09:07:20.570-07:00We have actually had a similar problem here at our...We have actually had a similar problem here at our house. It started out with just 25-30 a day, and I was going after them like a crazy woman. Then the number started growing...until it was up to hundreds a day. It just about drove me crazy. My husband was supposed to take care of it, but between running a business and remodeling our new house, he was overwhelmed himself...and the situation remained unresolved for some time. Finally though when the numbers of flies got up there, I just couldn't cope anymore and INSISTED he fix it NOW. We had a small gap between the floor and wall they were getting in through, and when that was filled, the problem was resolved. I feel for you.Live Simply Love Stronglyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02454346022641019985noreply@blogger.com
