[quote=unapam]How does one deal with the swarm of small flies that have made the brown bin their home. These are not the normal houseflies. I am told that they are fruit flies

That's not the worst of it. I live in a terraced house and when I brought it through the house some of them stopped off in the kitchen. I have sprayed and sprayed but they just keep coming - they seem to be immune to fly spray.
I have had to stop using the brown bin which goes against my green ethos. Any ideas?

UPDATE: I contacted the help line at Fingal and they said to pour boiling water into the brown bin. I tried it..but it did not work.
This bin is not going to be collected until the 26th Aug. I can't bring it through the house with those clinging to and in it.[try vinegar in the bin]
