Flies appearing from no-where????

[Going to Cali]

This is as much as confusing as it is disgusting. Our student house, in the front room, we're having a problem with flies. The last few weeks I'll be sat in the room, there are no doors or windows open, and suddenly there are flies crawling on the walls. There are no cracks in the walls, I can't see any holes in the floor. It's driving me insane. During the summer there was building work on our house, the builders left the foundations open which resulted in rats chewing through our floor boards. The only thing I can think is that perhaps a rat was left under the floorboards, but even then I can't think how they are getting into the front room and there's no rotting smells or anything either. Has anyone else had a problem like this?

Mystery solved! Hire a cleaner you student oiks.

This is the thing, if it were one of the bathrooms or the kitchen I could understand it, our front room is clean as!!!

No fire place in our house, good call though! I'm guessing though, with the weather being bad, they're not coming in from outside as it would be too cold for them. Must be from indoors somewhere.

By the way, got onto our landlord, he's got in touch with pest control, hopefully they'll find the problem and sort it out.

Found the little *******, there's a slight gap between our floorboard,wall and door into our living room. Just seen one fly in through there. Have blocked it for the time being (stuffed some toilet paper in!!) but obviously doesn't solve the problem if them being underneath the floorboards in the first place!

Leave a piece of poo near the hole so they all come out, then hit them with fly spray.

Could improvise, use a lighter and kill it/them with fire?

Don't forget that flies come from maggots, so maybe there's some rotting flesh somewhere under the floorboards

This is what I'm thinking, there were rats before but that was a couple of months before and because the foundations were exposed. Hopefully the pest control can sort it out.
