Mystery over

infestation of flies

An entire Devonshire village is battling

a mysterious invasion of flies.

Residents of Feniton say their lives

are being made a misery by a fly

infestation which has plagued them

for five years – but is currently worse

than ever.

Carol Lockwood, 76, said: “You can’t

lay in bed without being woken up by

a fly landing on you. They are

everywhere. I reckon I get 60 to 70 a

day in my home. It’s not just the warm

weather – it happens all the time.”

Fellow resident Steve Loader, 48,

has noticed the problem has got worse

since March. “You have to keep all

windows and doors shut to try and

keep out the flies. It’s like being

trapped in your own home,” he said.

East Devon District Council has

offered no explanation for the

infestation and has advised villagers to

put sticky fly catchers in their homes

which they can send to health officials

for laboratory analysis.
