just wondered if anyone else is being plagued by little flies since the weather has heated up? they don t bite and they are not very fast - so you can kill them quite easily! some days we will hardly have any and then the next day we can be totally infested with them! they don t seem to go near any food either, but they re just a pain!
has anyone else been bothered?
but more importantly any idea how to get rid of them quickly?!

Have a look at my thread entitled, 'what is this' I show a photo and the answers are there. I have stopped worrying about them now, at first when I was unsure what they were, I spent hours killing them (something I hate doing) because I thought they were going to bite me and the dog. As you say they do not go near food they just sit on the walls and they don't even fly around that much. We live happily together now, if they tell all their friends and get a bit carried away in number, I have an old jar, catch them and let them go, they are probably coming to your house Ha Ha.

Hang up some bottles of water, they see their reflection and think something big is after them and fly away sharpish.
