hi - since Tuesday this week I've had a lot of fat black flies buzzing around my house (some have a little bit of shiny green on their backs) It is absolutely disgusting. Am killing around 15 per evening (they are mostly around in the evenings when I turn my lights on?) Have invested in fly spray and fly paper and it's working fine in that it's killing them but I want to know where the source - I know everyone is going to say there's something rotting, a dead carcass somewhere but there's no smell in my house/have looked everywhere for rotting mouse/rat, whatever. Could there be something rotting outside, the flies are hatching there then entering my house? How do they get in? No windows are open. I have to say the numbers are decreasing but they are still THERE. Any help/advice v much appreciated. Actually I think they're coming in near my front window actually and I noticed that when I turned my heating off they seemed to decrease. thanks

Do you mean blue bottles?


If so, they are attracted by smells but also hate to be trapped inside so if you open windows they'll make their escape.


If they are breeding indoors, there must be maggots somewhere. You'll have to turn the place upside down looking for something that's gone rotten. Unfortunately if it's something dead under floorboards/behind walls it just means waiting til they all fly away.

I had one in my living room on returning from holiday.


Not your typical shiny backed blue bottle.


Just a very large black fly. 3 times the size of a house fly.


Opened window... they usually find their way out.


Found it dead the next morning.


Might well be more that died while I was away.

    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
