Battling Unwelcome Visitors: Plastering our way to success! - Our French Renovation, The Good Life

Подробнее о видео

We have been plastering and rendering our walls in an effort to stop the dreaded cluster flies. As the warmer March weather set in we were plagued with literally thousands of them. To make things worse we had removed all the mortar from the walls weeks before in readiness for remorting.

Although cluster flies apparently do not present a significant health risks to humans, staying in a bedroom with a swarm of flies and a very loud hum is not pleasant. Especially when you find them nesting inside your clothes. Each day we were vacuuming up enough to fill a pint glass.

Our goal is to seal every crack and gap as soon as possible. We want to reduce the number of entry points on each room down to zero. Obviously, this is going to take time as we have many rooms, the attic and the whole of the outside to re-mortar. However, realistically it is the only solution.

We have identified a couple of wall voids and cracks where we think they have been hiding over winter and these will be addressed during the coming weeks.
