FLIES

ikenjoku7 · 12-16-2015, 01:48 PM

Got a weird one for you guys. For the past week or two I've keep seeing flies swarm around my car every time I park it. At first I thought I had some bad food in the car or something so I went and washed my car and cleaned the interior only to find nothing. Crazy thing is after I washed my car they got even more aggressive. I'll see two or 3 attracted to my car every time I stop at a light now. Did some research and apparently this is a common thing wth silver and white cars ( mom has a silver ml500 and I've never seen this happen) but my car is jet black... Any idea of what's causing this so I can stop it? They're driving me insane. Especially since this is happening mid December

You washed the car, but have you showered recently?

hongsc · 12-16-2015, 03:45 PM

Did you leave someone in the trunk? Or it's the first sign of the end of the world.

sunsin · 12-16-2015, 04:17 PM

maybe they are attracted to the heat your car is giving off? Do you notice the same thing on a cloudy day before driving (before you car is warmed either by the sun or driving).

BKBMW335I · 12-16-2015, 04:26 PM

Do you have an antifreeze leak? The reason I ask is because as you know Antifreeze has a sweet smell to it so it could be what is attracting them.

It's the shine. Flies think it's a pond and they try to lay eggs

I learned that about antifreeze on Dateline or some show like that last week.

Maybe you ran over some dead animal carcass that remains under your car?

bmwmsport · 12-17-2015, 02:14 PM

Total car.

Cut your losses.

Move on to next one.

Hahahahaha

Seriously though, maybe something crawled in and died. My father had an Audi wagon a few years back, and a couple of mice met their deaths in search of a warm home (Vermont).

lookalikehuuh · 12-18-2015, 01:13 AM

I'm thinking either you have a dead animal somewhere as stated above or.... maybe the soap/wax or one of the cleaning products you are using is attracting flies.

I know my dad used this orange cleaner once on my moms wood stand to make it all shiny only to have it attract more flies than a pile of manure.

jauloz · 12-18-2015, 01:13 AM

some wax/sealant would attract flies for sure, did you recently polished your car?

jacobsed · 12-18-2015, 08:58 AM

You're friends are messing with you...there is some shit somewhere in your car.
