aliceBB Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 There were at least 3 live ones until the cat ate them That's what I like to see - cats on performance-related feeding programmes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amaranthus Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I would do a really thorough dead creature search, I'm betting the cat has hidden a present somewhere for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockjaw Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Might not be dead thing - could be these. I had them in my loft when I lived in Oughtibridge. Covered the whole floor when they died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avidcameron Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 We have some dead birds in the walls. They used to nest in the attic and a few chicks have fallen down the cavity. We hear them in distress for a day or two before they die. Impossible to get to them. Terrible to listen to. We had to block up some of the gaps at the top of the wall eventually to stop them falling in. Why do you let the birds into the attic?I would remove the old nests as they harbour mites, fleas and bird droppings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had sparrows up there for years. I have taken some old nests out in the past though - ones that rotted after a roof leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peer Gynt Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Why are there flies in my attic? Is that where you keep your trousers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeygirl Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 hope you get it sorted. i had a similar problem about six weeks ago - no smell, just suddenly a lot more flies that usual. not a nice problem to have. i never found anything dead (and believe me i looked!) but i did find some fly egg pupae in my carpet. rang enviromental health and apparently they can come in and lay their eggs there. have you noticed any pupae type things on the floor? i did a deep clean of the carpet and problem solved. there weren't millions but it really wasn't nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
