Flies in the summer?

[Guest guest7049]

People often go on about the flies during the summer in places like Perth, does Adelaide suffer an invasion once the warm weather starts?

Not a real problem, tend to be less nearer the coast as the sea breezes help keep them away. They do however add texture rather than flavour to our food!

I think it can vary from year to year as well.

 

When living in the hills we found that sudden wet spells meant sudden flies!

 

Tasty and persistent suckers though!

They really want to share your life / food/ nose/ inside of your glasses / computer monitor:arghh:

 

The Mosquito's are something else though!!!

Tends to be worse anywhere there are animals kept (sheep, horses etc) - we don't get very many here by the river but the gully breezes probably keep most of them away

[Guest Guest75]

The spiders will get them if given a chance...............

And old ladies ! (remember my grandma singing that one! honest!)

Hi Guys

 

The mosquito's are my nightmare, every holiday they attack me ! What is it like for that? Obviously being a warm climate they will be around, but to what degree and when ??

 

cheers...

They can be pretty bad for some people on the odd sultry summers evening - especially if near water or uncovered rain water tanks.

 

Everyone is different.

I've known people that are eaten alive in Europe be left alone here.

Flies are definately less here than I experienced in Sydney at Summer time. I didnt notice them so much when we went to Perth.

Saying that I noticed more last summer here but that might be because we had a pool this year.

When we arrived we noticed allot when we went to Seaford Beach.

They bug because they seem to love you flapping at them. They just come back and back at you.

Its a small price to pay though and much less of those pesky wasps !!

You do get some and they're annoying (and persistent) but not as bad as what I was lead to believe, before we came. Mozzies are a pain in the but though!!!!

[Blossom]

You get them for about two weeks a year. Some years are worse than others. Mozzies however, if its warm are there as soon as the sun goes down. Very annoying, as I can't sit outside and watch the sun going down or they get me!

 

The York peninsula has March flies sometimes which bite! I got a shock when I went there for Christmas this year.
