Hi Deb - You don't indicate in what part of the country you are, but it
sounds like cluster flies. They ARE annoying and I'm not sure there is much
that can be done, other than calling a REALLY good exterminator. Ditto on
the ladybugs - which are not the same cute ladybugs we remember from
childhood, but a Chinese variety that STINK to high heavens when squashed.
Good luck getting rid of them! Best, VivianLea

Subject: Flies
Another historic house question:
We've got flies, big honking ones, mainly in one room upstairs. We have no
idea
why they would still be around at this time of year. The temps have been
hovering around freezing and the heat is off in the house at night. Is there
a
way to get rid of the pesky buggers without killing the wood in the windows
in
the process or poisoning the staff and visitors? I think they might be in
the
wood itself as we've had a problem with yellow jackets but thankfully, they
weren't around this year. We also get sporadic swarms of ladybugs too,
mainly
in the Fall.
Thanks again in advance!!
Deb
