Flies!

[CarnivalPiggy]

Not sure if this is in the right section, sorry.

I have a huge problem of little black flies on each side of the walls of my guinea pigs. I'm incredibly frustrated as I don't know what do to with them except swatting as I don't have fly paper right now or anything similiar and won't be able to until late tomorrow. Very worried and annoyed. I'd think of cleaning the piggy cage out earlier than usual but don't see the point as they'll probably remain anyway. I'll attempt to post a picture of it in a min as I can't tell the type

Sorry for horrible photo, the black dot is how big one is.

Although they are a pest, I think they won't do any harm to your piggies as far as I remember, it's the blow flies that are! They are the ones that cause fly strike.

@Tiamolly123 (tagged you here as I made two threads on accident hah) Thanks! I still feel very nervous. They are close to the guinea pigs which makes me incredibly uncomfortable. I feel horrible as I forgot I can't leave the cage for a week ish and then change without it being unhealthy like I do in the winter. I swear, the only good thing about being a guinea pig owner in hot weather is being able to get them out on the grass I really just want to incinerate insects in my house :flame:

Don't think that would do the piggies much good if It's too hot I put wrapped ice blocks in, they love it.
