Small Flies Living In The Car
This may be (and is) a stupid question but does anyone else have those annoying little flies living in their Mx-5? I've had the car over a week now and every time I get in it I'm always killing the damn things yet they appear again. They must be getting in under the roof lining or something?
Before any one aks, I shower regularly by the way

Moths possibly. Were any of the carpets made of wool?
Just thinking out loud really.
As has been suggested see if the carpets are damp and dry them out. I guess you could try shampooing them!!
maybe i am.. maybe im not, lolYou speaking from experience Skuzzle?![]()
but i'm sure if you ran it through a blender and fiberglassed the boot to make a tight seal it'd go in and stay put.
Gives new meaning to the phrase, "I wouldn't be caught dead in a Daewoo..."![]()
check you've no sources of sugar in the car,(sweet wrappers/banana skins) as that's what attracts them.
I usually find that driving with the top down for a while clears the buggers out!
Just leave it a few minutes before you get in the car though:yuk:
the flies are most probably living off some form of animal cadaver stuck to the underneath of the car, and migrating into the cabin when they smell fresh human flesh that they can feast upon.
If you're still having problems then get some toothpicks and try to impale each fly through the heart, thats the only surefire way to stop them.

This is the natural time of year for many fly species to hatch, as the fishermen/women amongst us will know. It's nothing to be concerned about. They hatch from their larval stage to fly stage; then they mate, chucking their fly jizz all over your steering wheel and gearstick where your hands touch. Then they lay their eggs under the skin of a suitable host by inserting an egg tube so fine that the host is completely unaware it is taking place. The eggs incubate until early next spring when the will hatch to release the larvae which live beneath the skin for a week or so. The larvae will eat their way out of their hosts body en mass, 'hatching' into flies the moment they reach the surface. The pain will be considerable to say the least, almost unbearable according to some reports, but it should last no more than a day and the chance of fatal infestion in the bore holes is no more than 50/50 (per larvae).
However, as you say, you have killed all the flies so luckily you have nothing to worry about

Snot true obviously. The flies will most likely be coming from a bit of old fruit or something equally as nasty lurking beneath your seat. Just keep the roof down, your right foot planted, and they should get sucked out no problem.
