Flies in paint shed

[jack_c]

I have what seems to be a colony of flies living in the shed I paint in.

Usually only ever had an issue with one every so often but now no matter what I paint guaranteed to have 5 or 6 land in it and they are the ones with the huge wings!

Have tried one of the UV light things in complete darkness and not one single fly killed.

I can see them on the walls and then as soon as I start painting they take off and land in my paint.

Having gone through a spate of fish eyes in my paint, is there anything I can spray to kill off these flies?

At my wits end!

Any help appreciated, thanks

Tin of Raid from the supermarket or wherever. Put a fan in there and spray into the air coming out.
Tin with white lid is best, stay out of shed for an hour or more.

Don't know if will work on ur flies but ' red top flie killer ' works .
Buy genuine, or at least i always do . Ebay. Hang it up nr building. Mine do take a week plus to start to work. I think smell has to build. Could not put up in ur house , stinks but they bloody work. Ive always found aerosol sprays useless.
About £15 for 2 . I hang mine on a flower basket bracket nr house. Ull tolerate the odd bad smell wen it starts filling with flies, to be honest i think more a warm weather trap .

Would either of those cause reactions in the paint do you know?
Thanks Jack

You don't need to go mad with it. It is very effective.
