    I am so sick of these damn flies everywhere :mad::mad::mad:

    With 3 weekly rubbish collections it is a health hazard in this heat

    Also I'm angry as The Savages have got a new kitten, which is currently locked in their kitchen for the last 24 hours & crying pitifully as they have gone away :mad::mad:

    Rant over. Now Fourp has 'suggested' I go & get cat food - why can't he get it?

    and calm :o

    Neutradol works wonders for bins. If bin starts to get smelly I sprinkle some on top of the items in bin and the flies disappear. I also put some in when bin is empty.
    Make £10 a day in March - £182 / £310 :j

    are you hoping to post dry cat food through the letter box?
    can you see through the kitchen window if it has a litter tray and water dish?

    if not or you dare not risk going near then in this heat its best to err on the side of caution

    It's shut in the kitchen & I daren't go in their garden to look in. They are 'Savages'
    Same thing happened last year & we called RSPCA on them.
    Luckily that kitten once it was big enough escaped & found a new happy home :)
