My OH and I don't like to use insecticides in the house because of our pets but we get tons of flies in during the summer because we leave a window open for the cats to come and go as they please (yes I know they're spoilt). Flypaper is just disgusting and last summer we discovered one of our cats had managed to get herself stuck to it (yes I know she's an idiot). Those big bluebottles turn my stomach I hate them in the house and I've just discovered the most efficient and environmentally friendly way of dealing with them. I bought a Venus Fly Trap. It snaps them up in no time. It's cheaper than any alternative and he's sort of become a pet himself now, called Boris. (yes I know we're sad). I highly recommend one.

Fantastic idea! Constantly leave our back door open in the summer and often find blue bottles hovering around the cats food. Worst case was when I emptied the bowl and found maggots....yeuch! gross!!
presume you can get a venus fly trap from garden shops or do you have to try somewhere specialist?
Cheers!

I got mine in homebase but when googling for more information on how to take care of him I found this place which also sells them if your local shops don't have one. http://www.littleshopofhorrors.co.uk/customer/pages.php?pageid=3My Doctor told me that "1 out of 3 people who start smoking will eventually die."

Oh that's a fab idea! I bought an electric fly zapper this week, it was £5.99 in Aldi and has already claimed several casualties.I have the mind of a criminal genius. I keep it in the freezer next to Mother....0
