Flies.

I don't have a recommendation, but be careful….electric fly killers have been blamed for a least one servere hotel fire….

I want some of it! Whatever Zoomy has been on, I want some of it. ?

OK, I shall be serious. The things are a damned nuisance. We imported them (or something similar) some years ago from Istanbul. After hanging fly papers all over the larder, and storing things like flour in Tupperware (thus depriving them of food) we eventually got rid of them.

Any road, Zoomup, why do you ask?

I have a kitchen filled with ‘em. Pesky things, they are attracted by fruit and my organic locally baked bread. When the light is turned on they scarper like rats, not to be seen for a while. But in the morning when I initially turn the light on there they are, like World War 2 fighter planes swarming in the kitchen. Numerous sticky fly papers don’t seem able to catch 'em all.

I have found that electric fly killers are effective against all common flying insects including fruit flies.

The lamps should be replaced annually if lit continually, the UV output declines significantly. Take care that the correct lamps are used.

Check that high voltage grid remains live. Take great care in doing this.

These insect killers are more effective in otherwise dark surroundings, In well lit conditions extra units may be needed.
