ive got citronella drops that i add to water and soak the cages in those before putting the bedding back in
 
So far I have not had flies near my cages (touch wood). However, flies have been a pest in the house and around the rubbish bins. >:(
 
I have the candles round my computer (not lit), cause the flies make me jump! ;) But so far none by me O0
 
Rabbits are by far the worst fly attractors, I had a gust rabbit staying with me this week and within 2 days of her stay she had flys in the corner of her cage that had layed eggs :( had to scrub out cage and give her bottom a complete to close for my like looking at :o luckly no maggots but had to clean cage out every day and wash the corners,, thank goodness for the warm weather drying it out,

yes we have one this also. door closed with the netting over the windows, it has helped allot, but the kids keep leaving the door open,

i am thinking about getting those stringy things that go across doors, do they work?
 
Missed her post. :embarassed: Where would you get fly netting from? :)

Do you mean likea curtain of beads hanging from the top of the door? :)
 
I've found curtains of beads not very effective at keeping flies out of the house. I got some Fly net from my local diy store - in the garden section but also noticed for sale on ebay. I'm wondering whether to get some netting to put over the whole hutch cos I noticed a couple of flies got past the door net.
 
the company i clean for has the perfect green meshing which I use for over the shed door
 
my electric fly zapper is working over time flies are my biggest hate since losing a wonderful bun to fly strike it happens so quick, so all be warned look out for the damn things, give me spiders any day but flies ugh no
 
anyone having trouble getting replacement bulbs for them? Can only seem to get them on ebay but they never last :(

For one i put Rear Guard on all the buns, this year i used Beaphar Fly Free spray which works brill too...and it's cheaper lol

Then i have cut up fly nets and safety pinned them to the wire bits of the hutch, they are fab!

and then just try and keep everything clean, check the bunnies everyday especially Jake (no teeth bun, as he can't clean himelf aswell) the older bunnies aswell, and my long haired ones.

It's not too hard once you get into a routine ;D

Do they have a website? :)
 
where did you get the net from? finding my fly zapper isnt working so well this year. just bought fly papers anythign else i need. Its worse this year cos i moved near to lakes and i have annoying flies in the house too. lmao
 
Lidl have fly nets in at the moment really cheap :)
 
have they cool will look this morning. also gonna pop to wilkinson(wilkos)
 
Fly nets are great.

I have one on my back door and it keeps the blighters out. And the wasps!
 
Flies, wot a pain in the but ;D
iv got fly netting on my window and door,
also i have lots of that sticky fly papper hanging everywhere,
never use fly spry near your Piggy's its not good for them,
also i know this sounds mad but if you find spiders near your cages don't get rid of them
i hate them as much as the next person but i hate flies more so i leave them were they are
 
well i have been into town and can i find cheap fly net nope. Only 1 shop had it and its off the roll costing £4.25 per metre. anyone got any other ideas where to get some? Bought some fly stickers and paper.
