Hi Folks,

It's so annoying, we have a fly stuck in-between one of the panes of double glazing plastic window in our 'van. God knows how he got in there as the little bungs are inplace and intact (and the fly is twice the size of the bung holes) and there are no other holes whatsoever that we can see, Is drilling/cutting the window the only way to get the fly out?

 If i could get a spider in there, i'd be able to get the fly out the same way, besides i'd much rather have a fly bothering me than a spider.

When we got our new (secondhand) van we had loads of flies inbetween our front window, the previous owners removed the bungs ! Hubby took the windows out, drilled the bung holes a bit bigger and flushed them out with water ........... NOW BE CAREFUL ....... if you put too much water in and tip the window up on its short end ....... one of the panes WILL break !!!! lol Suffice to say we now only have a single glazed front window ...... men .... who'd have em ! lol (least we laugh about it now).

Oooh grub....methinks you might have meant to put an 'n' in that widows  word on the title? Conjured up some p-r-e-t-t-y weird notions of widows covered in flies and could only imagine that they must have somehow been covered in honey to attract 'em in the first place

But now I know it's windows, I still can't help ya!
