as some of you may know I HATE flies big time ever since losing a wonderful bunny to fly strike, my 2 pigs sheds have always since then had fly zappers, smallish ones, but today have just spent £85 on 2 big ones I'm going to get my shed fly free no matter what it takes, ( not going to tell hubby though) has anyone else got them,
the pigs used to jump when they pinged hope these new ones are'nt any louder, mind you they did get use to them,
 
My dad's got one and I hate it when you hear the flies 'pop'! ;D Going to get a smallish one for our spare room
 
me too. I don't want get a big one, but I don't want a tiny one either! LOL

Maybe the ones for £5-99 or the £9-99 ones? The electronic ones with the grate at the front look good, my dad's got one of them.

I love hearing them pop because they cant do any more harm and I always want to start singing "another one bites the dust" the 2 smaller ones i have are going into our conservatory and kitchen, I hate the smell of fly spray so hopefully this will help,
the 2 I brought have big grids on the front of them, so big hefty ones, I got them from www.nisbits.co.uk a catering firm as my son is at college for cooking etc I used where I get all his kitchen stuff from.
 
LOL My dad sings that too when he hears them! Ordered mine on ebay.. should be here soon!

Don't fancy the really big ones because we don't have that much room as it is! ;D
 
The £10 ones, the lesser ones are like a plug in! Our plugs are nowhere near the piggies so didn't see the point in them.

If this one works well then I will get another couple for around the house..

Which one you getting? I looked in argos - they have ONE - and it's £20!
 
plugged my zappers in last night and they work brilliantly but the boys shed has more dead flys then the girls why do you think that is? maybe the boys are more smelly lol,
anyway pulled their blinds down ready for bed, when hubby says you are going to have to do something about your sheds because the glow looks like you might be growing cannabis lol, dont know why I'm laughing because he is serious , he thinks some one might see it and report us, so I need to get black out blinds now, its never ending
 
LOL Michelle - you sure it's not cannibis? ;) ;)

We haven't got any flies around as yet.. Hoping it could stay that way!

maybe i could name one of my piggys cannabis because we live near the sea we tend to get more flys earlier, the girls have a total of one tiny one but the boys have about 30 and some are biggish, wierd,
 
I think so.. my boys always smell worse and quicker than the girls. It's all the hormones I reckon
 
Lol dont worry about blinds michelle if anyone reports you just take the police down to the shed and show them lol x
 
I've got one. I have a socket in my shed so I got a plug in one that hangs up. I got them sticky fly papers hung up as well.
The best way to keep flies down is to keep the pigs bedding as dry as possible. As soon as a wet patch appears (from wee or under the waterbottle spout) the flies lay eggs in it and you get maggots >:( so the most effective way of controlling flies is to not allow them the opportunity to breed.

yes mine get wet patches so much for non drip bottle, what about non drip lips, my lot all dribble wonder if we can get some bibs made for them

I thought they were attracted by the poop ? ?
 
Did anyone buy their fly zapper of ebay? I got mine and it now doesnt work. I have emailled buyer but i dont think they will do anything cos its over 7 days.
 
Did you get it on ebay?

The seller is sending a new one once i have sent mine back. mine was about £8.00. So I will see if its just a one off thats faulty.

We need one for the rabbits, our pay pal works again now so might do that in a sec, with mummys permission of course :p
 
I turn mine off a night now as the glow was so bright and i dont want to attract attention, i have padlocks on my shed anyway, kids might think theres more then pigs in the sheds, lol
we had a spate of rabbit thefts here last year so am not taking a risk with my fur balls,
