Sounds like the dreaded Mosca negra or black flies.They put wifey in hospital 2 years ago for a very large 'JAB'.
The male aren't a problem...it's the females that take your blood.....does the story sound familiar
The females then buggar off to the river and lay their eggs.


Not only is it the female that gives the worst bite but have you noticed that it is also the ladies who seem to suffer most from it with bad swellings, blisters etc that last for days and need antihistamine treatment ?
Most men just seem to get an irritation that lasts for approx an hour.

I have noticed that if I use Betadine Gel, availble from the chemist, on the bite when I notice it that the irritation is reduced quite considerably.

We have just got 5 new recruits to our troup of fly catchers, but I am finding it difficult to train them to pick flies off us and the table when there are three cats underneath !!

Well weve tried just about everything, from spraying the whole of the house outside, to foul smelling fly traps, they seem to be imune to fly spray, i'm sure they open their wings when we spray them, they seem to enjoy it.
So this is our last resort, ill pin it on the front door, that'll stop the little buggers.

Hey Terry,
Your Poster seems to work.Put it on my front door yesterday & hey presto,no flies!  (or could it just have been down to the normal hurricane blowing outside?)   Undecided

Well Done Santsalvador Take out a patent !! Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Well its just as likely to work as that spray stuff No Flies are selling!! Grin Grin Grin

So why not book yourself a stall at the next Booty and print of 50 or so!! Roll Eyes

Tell them its extra special patented ink you put in your printer, ecological produced out of supernatural ingredients and you have to put your fly poster up at the first full moon at midnight, then run round your property three times anticlockwise peeing at each corner standing on one leg

Which incidentally would also be just as effective!! Grin Grin

I have to agree Hazelnut, I was just thinking how quiet No Flies has gone, but then someone that cant even acknowledge a simple email certainly wont want to own up that they were trying to con us all with outlandish claims! do I sound angry, well yes I am for all those poor folks that spent on that money on a product that is a complete waste of time, when there money would have been better spent elsewhere!

Well - each to his own! I have had such a good report from people in areas like L'Ampolla, Flix, L'Ametlla, Mora etc. that I have been inundated with orders. I appologise to the lady in Ginestar for not getting back to her yet but been extremely busy. I will though!  Smiley

You can continue debating ...... enjoy your fly filled summer   Cheesy  Roll Eyes  Wink

Well good luck with your business, it must only be the Tortosa area where it doesn't seem to work! Roll Eyes

and as for our flies, we don't seem to have it bad this year thanks, may be due to our neighbours not spreading Chicken manure on their land!!

If it worked it would be worth millions and someone, lets say Dulux would buy the rights etc, sell and market the stuff globally, again if it worked.  Undecided Undecided Undecided



Its ashame that none of these Happy customers are forum members to help fight your corner. We'll have to take your word on that then.
