I need to try and keep flies out of my conservatory
l like to leave the doors open on hot days to let fresh air (and my cat!)
in but with that, in come all the flies and bees.l dont wanna put up any
fly killers as flies avoid these and the poor bees get it so l was
thinking about getting some beaded / ribbon curtains.l have seen these
used on peoples doors in the mediterranean.Would that help to keep the
flies out and where can l get them (UK).Any advice would be greatly
appreciated - thanks.
Bead curtains can be got from a lot of places - Poundland, Home
Bargains, Wilkos, that sorta place - or some garden shops or maybe ur local
market.
Old country remedy - tie bunches of mint or elder leaves (ask the tree
first) in the doorway cos flies don't like them. Pale blue paint or drapes
also repels flies. The old-timers used to put blue-bag in the whitewash
when doing farm buldngs. You could try burning joss-sticks outside the door. And I heartily agree with you about chemicals! xxxxxxxxxxxx
Yes, get a flyscreen with a cat flap.
I think a flyscreen with a catflap fitted,
Or a fly screen and fit a cat flap in a panel on the conservatory.

It will do a much better job of keeping bugs out, but letting air pass through.
