Well, I am surprised I'm the only person to notice lack of flies - even my husband notices it!
So it's still a mystery to us, unless...............when I was waiving my magic wand to rid the jolly ants it was the flies that got the message because the ants are still here! Sorry you folk further down the line, I didn't mean them all to end up at your places! We live in North Auckland, almost opposite Lyn V at Orewa, but on the western coast and it has been very hot and humid here. We don't have fly screens, I do use a fly spray dispenser during the day, but I've always had that. Maybe they don't like the smell of the exterior paint which has been going on here? Otherwise I'm baffled, especially as we live on a farm.
Marnie I laughed at your comment! Whenever I can prove to my husband I'm smarter than him (which is not very often!) and I boast there's no flies on me, he always tells me he can see where they've been.
Regards,
Dawn.

I've always had a fly spray auto dispenser and although they do make a difference I have found in the past the flies still come in and buzz around before they decide to buzz off again - nothing like that this year though! Maybe next month when I process my tomatoes those niggly little house flies will arrive TPANDAV mentioned - nothing seems to deter them! No ants so far today either, but yesterday I gave them a wee drink of Ant 'Gin' on the windowsill and they will have taken that back to the nest to share with the others
I had the sprinkler going all night on the vege garden and this moring when I went out to shift it a lovely bright green frog jumped out from under the sweet basil bushes and jumped along to my rhubarb and sat there under a leaf staring out at me! What a lovely sight! I bet he enjoyed his all night bathe.

Dawn.
PS We've had quite a thunderous downpour this afternoon and I still had the sprinkler going!
