Galician Village Plagued by Unprecedented Five-Year Fly Infestation

Five-Year Fly Plague Torments Residents of O Val, Galicia A persistent fly infestation has plagued the residents of O Val, a parish in Narón, Ferrol, Galicia, for the past five years. Residents describe the situation as a nightmare, particularly during the summer months. The summer of 2023 was especially difficult, with swarms of flies overwhelming homes. Ángeles Montero, a local resident, describes the experience as "unbearable." The video shows the extent of the infestation, with flies covering walls and ceilings. Residents have resorted to sealing windows and using various fly traps to combat the problem. While the exact cause of the infestation remains unclear, some residents offer possible explanations. One resident believes the light color of her house may attract more flies, while another suggests a nearby tree has reduced the fly population at her home. The local council has yet to issue an official statement on the matter. The ongoing struggle highlights the challenges faced by residents in dealing with this unusual and persistent problem.
