Every bloody winter the wife insists on slow cooking
And the flys love it

Swatted them all before dinner and more just seem to appear
Any ideas

The meal looks inviting & they are coming in out of the cold. Ours slowly went away after a couple of weeks & never did find were they were coming from or in.

Hi,
It was so funny at Kalbarrie.
Flies so thick your personal swarm nearly blocked the sun.
We were fine with wide brim hats and fly nets but the coachloads of Chinese tourists were making hard work of it.
Heads in shopping bags, towels, waving freshly snapped off leafy twigs, Ausi salutes enough to make a decent breeze. One bloke offered me a wad of notes for my net.
Note to self: Buisiness opportunity for next W.A. holiday!
Cheers

That is a sheep blowfly if I'm not mistaken. If that's the case, there's something dead or putrifying nearby.

By the way, they're flies, not fly's.

Thanks for the English lesson Don
I only made it to year 10
Unless something lies ( or lys ) dead dormant for months at time I don’t think it’s sheep blow fly
The missus reheated the dinner from last night
It went from no ( or is it know ) flys ( or flies ) to them coming out of nowhere
The kids couldn’t even track down the origin (and they were running around like a blow flie ( fly) hit with the spray
Only when the slow cooked meal comes into play we get the things with wings that buss around
I don’t like to spray insecticide for a petty reason like this but it’s becoming a joke around the house

I’m gunna have to put my foot down
No more slow cooker
Steak and chips only
(Maybe the occasional parmi)
Roast on sundays

Reaction not very good from the Cook
Maybe I bring a goat home and try that in the slow cooker

I find that there are people who cannot understand when to use "it's" or "its".

The difference was actually taught at primary school .

Apostrophe man is creeping into all sorts of mistaken uses these days.

Why is the slow cooker in the house? If something like that is intended to be left alone for hours... can you not run an extension lead to any balcony outside? Shed? Somewhere away where flies wouldn't be an issue if they gather...

Seriously Windsock,
Who wants to attract flies into the shed (or the missus into the shed)
If I put it outside the dog would probably get to it
Easiest solution I can come up with is throw the cooker in the bin and hope all the flies go with it

I have been having a similar problem with blowies getting in. A few are following me in when I use a door, but another source I found a couple of days ago when I was cleaning the stove - came down the chimney and flew out into the kitchen when I opened the fire door, having let the fire go out and cool down.

Fortunately, once in the house they seem to head for the glass doors, where the dog is fairly good at catching them!
