A couple say their home of more than four decades has been invaded by flies - and they're so embarrassed they refuse to let anyone in. Angela Hickey, 68, and John Hickey, 79, claim the property they have lived in for 43 years has now been taken over by thousands of drain flies.
And the couple, from Stanmore, Middlesex, allege that their housing association has not dealt with the problem satisfactorily. The pair were moved into a hotel after the association said they would fumigate the property and pull the kitchen out to assess the source of the problem.
But, when they returned home, Angela and John claim they found minimal work had been done - and the flies were still in the property. And, nearly 18 months since they first noticed the flies, they are still trying to get rid of them.
