Hi again

Thanks for the suggestions and for going to the trouble.I could get vibes of disgust and annoyance with the hapless insects coming through! Much like my own feelings! I have already broken a few fly swats and I worry about the glass in the windows! Keep the suggestions coming. I have a theory myself about it too. I think it's a mixture of a lot of factors ... cattle in the farmyard, our dog droppings in the vicinity of the house + a visiting dog's contribution! I think the fact that we are now recycling more means that the food bins don't get taken to landfill as often as is needed (we don't have a collection service so have to take our bins ourselves), and as we aren't a vegetarian family conditions in the bins won't always be the best. The chimney idea that was mentioned could be another factor. The neem oil remedy I will definitely look into.And the recipe from Amethyst. Any other ideas?

Many thanks
Jul
