How to keep flies out the house in the summer

House bugs in the summer

House fly control

Don't like flies and bugs either! It's time for the insecticide and bug control chemicals to come out and to wage war on the crawling and flying insects that dare to enter our houses.



One of the things I don't like about the summer months is the way your house gets invaded by flies and crawling bugs. Not a fan of them so I wage a war and dig out the insecticide.

21-8-2010 Techinically you should hate mosquitoes more,as the kill 2 million people every year. The rest are virtually harmless.DSG
12-7-2010 my house right have some sort of beetle flying around almost everynight around 10-11PM, I ki11ed two already, today I saw a third one, with a reddish beetle now where are those spiders when I wanted themfuyao
22-6-2010 Please don't kill a Ladybird,not only because its my favourite Bug but because they are the greatest protector of anything green in the garden.I'd recommend that you sit down and watch one at work,devouring all those horrible Aphids. Bee's very seldom sting unless messed with,but the Wasp or Hornet appear to enjoy doing so.arrawn
19-5-2010 Oh how I can't wait for the summer barbecues, wouldn't be complete without the swarm of wasps coming towards the garden table! As this site suggests ( http://www.hygienesuppliesdirect.com/blog/pest_control/ ), a really good tip that a lot of people don't think about is to avoid brightly coloured table cloths. The bright colours can attract the attention of wasps and bees. And leave your cooked food covered!Chris
12-5-2010 Yazii, They hibernate during winter until the warmer weather comes. Unfortunately common laydbird numbers are declining due to extremely cold winters and also the invasion of the Harlequin ladybird which kills our native species. Ladybird's are most useful in the garden as they feast on the aphids. I started growing some strawberries last year which attracted loads of aphids. I bought some Ladybird larvae over the internet. When they arrived I placed them in the strawberry plants and they tucked in to the pesky aphids. I saw quite a few of them once they'd developed into fully fledged ladybirds. I also put a 'ladybird house' near to the plants so they had some shelter to hibernate in over winter.Youthful Griper

24-4-2010 I hate mozzies. I am deaf and cannot hear them buzzing so have no warning at all. the first I know of it is after the little beasties have bitten me and I get this huge raised and itchy area. if I know there is one in the bedroom I cannot sleep there and have to take my duvet into the living room instead. they seem to love to go for my face especially at night.. one time I woke up with what looked just like a huge black eye. because of one mozzie bite my eye had swollen so much that I could not open it and it was all black and bruised. ooooohhhh I do so hate the little perishers!!!zena
23-4-2010 Hate mozzies. Love big fat bumble bees though :)Chris.
23-9-2009 Spider centipedes. A.K.A. house centipedes. The horror straight out of your worst primeval nightmares. Coming soon to a room near you...Bugged
08-9-2009 I hate booklice/psocids. They come every summer and are horrible little bugs that are hard to get rid of. All the sites say cut down on humidity and keep your home aired. I spent all last winter opening windows to air the bathroom and kitchen even on the coldest days and here the damn things are, back again.Anonymous
26-7-2009 The little brown bug that people are referring to that is ladybird like with light or darker brown speckles sounds like a carpet beetle. They vary in colour depending on their environment and are attracted to light windowsills in early summer. Adults are pretty harmless but the young eat organic material - eg your clothes, curtains, carpets etc. We had them in our new house - it took lots of hoovering in all the nooks every day to get rid of them and even then a few still appear from time to time. The young ones are small and a bit fluffy - you sometimes see them on walls.Beck
