I used fly-paper last year but there were soooo many flies that it just looked gross after a couple of days and replacing it that often was expensive!! I also tried home-made fly traps and I'm sure many members will remember my "indoor fly bomb" episode
Here's what the owners for our new house had to say about the spider-proofing:
OK - so we paid some geezer to come out with his chemicals and spray the house with some (probably completely unPC stuff) which is apparently guaranteed for 2 years. As a registered arachniphobe, I must say that IT WORKS!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!! You can;t imagine some of the horrors we witnessed when we first moved here, and they have now been banished for all time.
I want that "geezers" telephone number
