With the UK basking in a proper scorcher, most of us are doing everything we can to stay cool – windows wide open, fans on full blast, and maybe even the odd ice lolly or two. But as we throw open our homes to let in the breeze, we also end up inviting some rather annoying guests: houseflies.
It’s not just the constant buzzing that gets on your nerves. Flies are far from harmless – they carry bacteria from all sorts of grim places and can transfer them to your food, your kitchen surfaces, and anything they land on, reported the Mirror.
