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.

10-5-2008the little brown bugs could be woodworm because they only come out in sping/summer time. Google woodworm and look at the pictures to see if they are. I have them in my house. Woodworm are a grub thing at first then when they develop wings they will fly out of the wood. Also I have some other type...moreLindsey

30-4-2008Ah yes, the bug season is upon us and summer is approaching. Flying insects, bees, wasps, flies etc. I've just discovered that we're being attacked by masonry bees - or rather the house is. Fortunately they can't sting us but they do damage to the property. Anyone know of a quick fi...moreHate insects
28-4-2008I also have the little brown bugs with a hardish shell ..they love the house in the summer and when its very warm. But no one seems to know what they are!! They're so annoying and they're getting on my clothes and everything.Bridie
02-1-2008Why can't there be a bird flu like superbug that wipes out Daddy Long legs but is harmless to humans! I hate them as I can never open my windows in the summer!Billabong
30-12-2007I too have lots of these small brown bugs with hard shells that seem to like window sills. I have noticed that they fly between window sills too. They have been in my house since the summer and I can't get rid of them, ant powder worked for a while but they now seem imune to it. Does anybody kno...morebecki

13-7-2007Bughater Up in the north-east where I'm from, my mother remembers when those nasty things would come out at night. She called them blacklocks. I'm not sure if thats the proper name for them though but hope it helps!Kitty
13-7-2007Hi - our cottage, which is over four hundred years old and full of gaps between skirting boards, ancient crumbly walls and pitted wood beams - has just been invaded by smallish (about half to three-quarters of an inch long) black beetles. If you put the lights on suddenly at night, there are a doze...moreBughater
09-7-2007I too get irritated by the huge numbers of flying insects and bugs in the house in the summer. Particularly house flies - buzzing around your head and of course they're a pain to deal with without resorting to a can of raid. I'm not really into killing them, I just wish they wouldn't c...moreVal
10-6-2007when will we ever have homes with fly screens so that we may open our windows in the summer evenings with the lights on without being invaded. I went to stay at my daughter's for two days and when I came back because my other daughter had been staying with me and left all the windows open and l...moreNadia
