You have probably killed them the easy way by insecticide spray, but I can't.

I have spent the whole afternoon stalking them and am feeling paranoic about them.

I have ordered one of those electronic UV fly killers from Ebay, but until it arrives my fly swatter goes with me from room to room.

I haven't had a decent meal today yet because all my kitchen worktops need cleaning before I can prepare a meal.

There is one little blighter left to get - hope I get it before I starve

We have a net curtain across any opening during warm weather, lets fresh air in, keeps the flies out. We don't like the dirty little beggars either, nevr know where they've been paddling, saves having to spray. I also have one of those UV fly zappers, its never caught anything in two years.
