seams to be a massive amount all over the country. I hit a swarm on the motorway out of shannon last week that left the front of my van red, was like something out of a horror movie, blood all over the windscreen.

Yep house is full of them. Cant seem to get rid of them either. Cant use spray becuase of animals, and the fly bands dont work

michellie · 19-08-2010 9:59pm

They were all over my car when I finished work today, and yesterday when I finished in the gym. Dont seem to be any near my house ! There were some load of bee's out around the dunmore road area last week too, and again none near my house...im lucky I guess:)

U should always clean under the rim otherwise the cheese will begin to
go off & creates a bit of a pong. Any potential visitors down under will
refuse entry.

I had to stop and clean my motorcycle visor a couple of times last sunday, little buggers have the bike destroyed.

homolumo · 20-08-2010 1:18pm

We have had swarms of them on and off out here in Kill since Mon, all seem to be mating. Was wondering what they were called.

LuckyFinigan · 20-08-2010 1:34pm

Tramore was covered with them the other day. went for a swim in the guilmean and the water was literially covered in dead ones.

The ones of the human kind

But the flies are bad everywhere,i was coming from Wexford earlier and i thought it was starting to rain because there was so many of them hitting the windscreen.

Roomic Cube · 20-08-2010 2:50pm

got hit in the face walking through town 3 or 4 times....

got the bus out the dunmore road too, bus was covered with em

merlante · 20-08-2010 3:40pm

Yeah, I notices lots of black flies around the city, not the normal house flies, but almost like some kind of fruit fly or something. There's a tree outside the Granary cafe that is literally crawling with them. They seem to like the leaves...

AdMMM · 20-08-2010 3:53pm

I haven't seen any fully grown ones yet. They look like ugly ****ers too! I've never seen them around before. I'll assume they're harmless considering I've been going around with a hoover after them for the past week!
