I dont think it would be such a good investment for a company like 'Dulux', as it obviously doesn't work very well where there are large concentrations of pig or chicken farms.

Therefore I suppose rural fincas around Benifallet, Tivenys, Bitem, Xerta and especially Aldover will be infested with flies, and like somebody said on here earlier, if neighbouring land owners use chicken or pig manure, which is apparently illegal but still widely used, you dont have a hope in hell of getting rid of the flies!!!!!!!!

I still stand by my original post that there has been an improvement, BUT, I live in a village and my garden/patio is completely tiled, just sat outside after coming in from work for half an hour with a glass of wine to unwind, and wasn't bothered by flies.

We were at our caravan at Torre del Sol near Cambrills at the weekend, and even with the awning windows and doors wide open, we were pestered by the grand total of 5 flies, which is probably less than an average Summer day in the UK.

Oh well, I suppose the end result is that everyone knows where and what flies go for, begins with an S, but ...........

I'm beginning to like these silly face things, great are'nt they..............................LOL

Hmm I done some research on this illegal spraying of manure and slurry, I could bore you with it complexities but suffice to say the European Legislation is complex affects different locations in different ways requires certain good practices to be employed when local conditions and balances are met.

To say manure has to be turned into the soil immediately would be correct in only a small occurences when local conditions , climate, time of year , soil type, chemical compostion of soil would pose risk to health and flora/fauna and water contamination.

The EU regulations focus on reducing over fertilzation, correct safe storage of slurry/manure and its best application to prevent pollution to flora fauna and water table contamination, therefore as we all know there is a law for just about everything in the EU but its loaded with caveats

They emphasis is on education of farmers getting the balance right for sustainable farming and helping the farmers avoid costly civil proceedings  when the storage and spreading of slurry and manure  goes wrong and has environmental repercussions .

So I very much doubt  that our Spanish Farmers are breaking EU laws.  

By the way during my research it became very apparent that the Lawmakers  were working closely with farmers to get this right as there has been a European if not worldwide return to utilising manure and slurry as it is a lot cheaper than man made fertilizer . Bringing  technoglogy together with manure and slurry isnt as simple as you would think

PS I didnt find any mention of flies in the papers I researched
