    Sorry, who said flies don't carry disease? I don't like to think where they have been wiping their feet!!

    Errr, your paraphrasing has completely changed the sense of my comment! :p UK flies can carry bacteria which can give you a tummy upset, that is not the same as insects being vectors for serious disease as they are elsewhere in the world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Insect-borne_diseases

    I've also been plagued by the little f*****!...And because of it I've ended up throwing out a lot of Daisy's wet cat food.
  • Well now that fall has arrived we shouldn't have too many problems with flies. Time to start thinking about next year pest problems.
