Thanks for the replys. Im in dublin 4. Were our complex is there is a council waste water depo behind us. We know the flies are coming from there and they have been aproched by directors of the mang co and they keep saying that they will spay something to keep the flies down but its not working. I got onto health inspector and he was no help said he wouldnt come down. There are 62 units and most of them are affected by the flies. I cant open my windows or doors. Its a nightmare cooking cause they seem to go straight to the kithchen. I was awake at 5.30 this morn cause of the flies buzzing in my ear, even when i was under the cover!! And now the rats we thought were mice, but they are in fact rats. 12 in less than 24 hours and then the one in my kitchen press. And my neighbour caught another one in her sitting room today. Im on the verge of a breackdown i cant live like this. Im constantly shouting at the kids to keep the doors closed its not fair on them. A few of us are going to get together. But were do we start!! It defo a health risk. And then theres the mang saying there no money!!!!!
