Flies, bloody flies!

My little angel, Floyd, has over time managed to push the metallic flyscreen wire in the back sliding door. It's stretched and frayed and popped in.

Because of the rain there are a lot of insects around, and I'm noticing the flies. I hate the buggers.

Blowflies.

Yuk.

Nearly out of flyspray. They can smell food in the house from mile away and manage to find that tiny hole (1/4inch x 2-3 inches long. And tell their mates!

I've stuffed it full of paper but I don't know if that's worked. I've bought new flywire today and will try and fix it tomorrow when I get home. I'm not good with flywire. And I'll have to find the spline roller. I know I have about three, but where they are?

Flies! Help?

I have a problem with flies in the house at the moment. The only place they can be getting in is a small tear in the dining room window flyscreen. It's only about 1.5inches by .5 of an inch, but I think they're telling all their buddies about it!

I tore it last year when I opened the window on a really hot day after not having it open for almost a year and I didn't realise that there was some rolled up fencing wire which had fallen against the screen and the glass.

After I tore it I asked a friend if they could send me some fishing line to repair it. My friend has forgotten. Has anyone out there with my snail mail address got a piece of fishing line they can send me? It needs to be about two feet long, just in case! And fairly fine... The screen is perfect except for this rotten L shaped tear. (It is the same screen wire which came with the house 16 years ago!)

Thanks everyone.

Bloody flies!

Update:
Genius! In the mean time, while I sort out some fishing line (ever tried to source stainless steel screws/bolts inland? That's another story, but a similar dilemma.), I just swapped the screen with the store room window's which is the same size... yeehar!
