Or ask your water company or get a pump. www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=...p;f=207&t=505061 forum.gardenersworld.com/discussion/1028...ll-in-back-garden/p3 www.lesspestsleicestershireandrutland.co.uk/flies For time being use some Raid, fly zappers and fly paper. No harm calling a pest controller out also to look around.

Green Man	If you're brave enough, take out a few bricks to better access through the access point. Then you can see if are any animal remains. Maybe install a small cellar window just for air after you done everything.

If your you and husband are good at repairing brick work, then do it. Seal any cracks, go around the celler with a pencil and slide it in gaps if goes through any holes then a rodent can come through it these are called entry points. Don't store any food there in a celler like pet food. There has to be a reason for flies in the celler in which would be a food source. I had this problem myself. Also lay rat traps you want the ones that kills them, if you trap them and release they will come back. www.trap-anything.com/rats-in-the-cellar.html For flies: hang fly paper around the celler, get a couple bug zapper lamps in the celler, cans of Raid. Essential oils also. brightstuffs.com/essential-oils-to-get-rid-of-flies/ Get yourself down a DIY shop or the B&M.
