What is attracting house flies ?

Courgettes today, marrows tomorrow
Sounds like nematodes is the way forward if the plant is too infested to cut out the affected growth.

Or just let it run it's course and if it survives it will be clear by next spring.

Sorry but that ^^^^^^ is a silly attitude !!!!!!!!! each of those furry white blobs is holding in excess of 200 eggs, they will hatch into little bugs with legs, the little bugs will go walkabout & infest other shrubs in your garden, kill them, it matters not how but do it soon because once the bugs hatch you WILL have a massive problem.

It wouldn't surprise me because I seem to get everything on the planet that can go wrong, sometimes mysterious things also. It's the story of my life. Gardening, technical, bought items, you name it and something goes wrong with it.

That's really quite sad. I hope that's not really the case Marb.

Ups and downs....sometimes some of us get more than our fair share of downs and wonder why on earth the sh!t fairy has taken up residence with us. ( me included marb)
Thing is, it's probably a perception thing and may not seem so bad to someone else.

try following the advice on here which peeps give you- it may or may not help, but photos make help so much easier and more accurate

I have started to jet them off with the hose. I just give up because I seem to get everything go wrong that can in my tiny, humble garden. If I cut out all the infected wood I will have NOTHING. Even in my bathroom I have had scale all over my ivy and ferns. Now I also have aphids on my bathroom Ivy.

Somebody suggested nematodes, sounds like an excellent idea. Suggest it's definitely worth further investigation and doing something positive makes most people feel better and more in control.

We get them every year and the same prob with the crap etc, I bought a fly zapping light off ebay which is good but I try and keep everything in the fridge or air tight containers. Next year im going to use plants around the front of my doors and windows to deter them see if that helps. But as many on here has said there is usually something attracting them. With me its usually a off tattie.
