Hi everyone :)
So, I'm coming to you because I've got a major problem with one of my cats.
In our previous house, we often had biting flies coming from a neighbouring cowshed.
Since then, my cat has developed a total phobia of flies; he runs around frantically, hides, and is almost impossible to calm down.
In my new place, I hadn't had any flies in summer until now, but the downstairs neighbour just moved out and left three years' worth of rubbish in his flat!
Since then, I've been infested with massive flies (luckily no cockroaches!).
My cat basically has no life now; he barely sleeps and goes on a 'commando mission' every time he needs to eat or drink.
I'm looking for something effective against flies that isn't toxic to my cats.
Plug-ins and aerosol sprays are toxic, as are essential oil diffusers. I've tried pots of mint, bags of water, and apple cider vinegar traps, but nothing works.
I've put up fly strips too, but they aren't particularly effective either.
Does anyone have any tips or advice to offer?
Thanks :)
