Corn Flies

Post by Bladerunner »

Has anyone else noticed how many more flies there seem to be this year?

We are currently being plagued by Corn Flies and they are everywhere. I have tried putting some yellow t-shirts outside and they went straight for them but they are still getting all over the place.

I made a fly trap and put some beer, some sugar, and some jam in it but they aren't interested. I think that combination might be more suitable for normal flies.

Anyone got any suggestions as to what would make a good bait for them. A neighbour suggested red wine vinegar but I aint that posh, all I have is Sarson's.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Be lucky
