This may sound stupid but we filled a few ziplock bags with water and hung them from the butchers hooks we have on the various posts around our garden. We got this tip from another post on this forum - thanks to whoever posted it!

We had those stupid flying bugs that get in the food. I bought an ultrasonic plug-in thing from Carrefour for 50dhs and we have not seen one since!!! Mass exodus!!! :P Probably not so good if you have a pet though...

I did this back home and it worked wonders for fruit flies and regular flies, even wasps and bees got in. You can get bait (Ace has them) but I used apple cider vinegar and a couple drops of dish detergent - try also with a ripe sweet fruit, sugary water with dish detergent, used cooking oil, even a few pieces of bacon or sandwich meat - whatever attracts them as they seem to have their preferences!- they will go in the trap but can't get out. Since it's cheap to make them (use an empty PET bottle), I simply throw the whole thing in the garbage when it's full - hide it in the bushes somewhere (not very pleasant to see them...) and watch them slowly dissapear...... http://homemadeflytrap.net/
