South Wales Villagers Tormented by Mystery Plague of Flies

A Welsh village has been plagued by a swarm of flies for almost three months.

The flies have been causing a nuisance for residents of Pontypool, with some people reporting that they have been unable to sleep or eat in their own homes.

The local council has been working to find the source of the infestation, but so far they have been unable to identify the cause.

The flies have been identified as cluster flies, which are common in the UK during the autumn and winter months.

The flies are thought to have come from a nearby farm.

The council has been working with the farmer to try and find a solution to the problem.

One possible solution is to use fly traps, but this has not yet been successful.

The flies are causing a number of problems for residents.

The flies are causing a number of problems for residents, including:

Anxiety

*

Depression

The council is urging residents to be patient while they work to find a solution to the problem.
