Guest Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 no where safe.... but its not all day and its not for forever. Worst time seems to be around 5pm in the suburbs and in the bush they seem to be around during the day but stopping about 5pm. (I seem to be bombarded early evening just when the kids are at cricket training/little athletics/tball etc. Mozzies are more annoying especially for the kids, I am told, however, that after a few years the mozzies wont eat us as much, its just that we're new blood. They dont call this time of year Flyvember for nothing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErmintrudeMcMoo Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Yup pretty bad this year - lack of dung beetles apparently! It`s funny watching everyone walking along doing the flappy hands & jerky head - not so funny when it`s me! Once you snort your 1st fly or swallow it life never seems the same again!!:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Hi, I'm north of Perth, and the flies have been a pain, but more of a nuisance than than a plague. most of the stores near me, are selling the mozzy head/face nets. Today no flies at all, well....none of the small pestering ones, just some of the bigger "buzzers", either way, I wouldn't say it's been off putting, and you can learn the " aussie salute" as you waft the flies away, :animal-bee: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Ropey HOFF Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 When we were there the flies were a pain, but...................... not all the time, we never got pestered on the beach at Port kennedy, Rockingham, Cottesloe, Scarboro and Hilarys, but we got pesterd in the park overlooking the marina at Manduragh and walking about at Port kennedy. We sat out every night for the whole month in the summer and not one mozzie bit us, but we got bit to death in Brisbane. The flies are a pain at times, but if you keep your doors closed and avoid certain areas, then they were less of a pain, i don't know why mass poison isn't given to them, by the WA government, horrible little creatures.

Thanks Hi Minnie659 I live in South Beach in South Freo and Im right on the coast where the flies are supposed to be worse but I have to say either they hate me (I'm one of those that mozzies never attack!) or the flies hate freo because I'm really not noticing it. Saying that currently got sister and BIL here and both are really whinging about the flies so maybe I'm just immune but they say by the end of November they will all be gone.......it really is a small price to pay for living in paradise!

basil Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 i wonder if flies actually knew what dog poo was ..would they be sick Yes, they are sick - that's how flies eat. Flies vomit on food/dog poo, stomp on it a bit and then suck it up to eat it when it's more digestible. That's why you really don't want flies near your food Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cazz Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 We, re down near Mandurah. They spray every so often down here to keep the mossies down. We hadn't found the flies a prob until this last week, when they have been a pain in the bum. We've only found it to be the little ones that pester you, the big ones don't bother you. I've had a thing about flies since we had a plague of them in the UK a few years back! Like someone else said, you can get a net that fits over your hat to keep them off your face! They are persistant little buggers!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minnie659 Posted November 5, 2010 Author Share Posted November 5, 2010 Hi Thank you for your advice. I have told my husband and we are planning to come out next November at least he will see it for himself. He said he has the image of the flies constantly on you like you see in African documentaries. It's only for two months. We have been looking at Jonduloop and hilarys as well.

arlene Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Hi We found the flies were really bad in november then they didn't seem too bad, it definitely would not put me off living there. It's a small price to pay for living in a lovely place with a great climate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SusieOR Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Just a quick tip... which I have used & found to be great!!! Re the mozzies... I used to get eaten alive & then someone advised me to have a glass of lemon juice & water ever day!!! The mozzies dont like the taste of lemon juice & it seems to work for me... I def dont get bit like I used to!!! Susie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
