Vacuum really well, then put some 20 Mule Team Borax in a shaker and cover your carpet in a light coating of it. Leave it there for a few days and then vacuum it up. That should take care of any flee problem you have.

Palm Beach Livin!
Update: Went to guest relations to comment about flies on my food at Pecos Bills. They did not care. They gave me a comment card & said to write a letter.

Seriously, what did you expect?
Another case of expectations not aligning with reality.
Blaming Disney? For mother nature? Would you expect resolution if an Egret stole your pretzel? Demand resolution?
Yep, bugs suck. The doors are always open at Pecos Bill.
You fussing about it causes more of a problem.
Fussing here afterwards, even more of one.
I get being upset about headless a headless chicken at the end of Splash Mt., but Disney is not ignoring the actual problem, just ignoring another self important guest trying to "get them."
Were you expecting a front of the line pass? Free lunch? You should really get over yourself and stop expecting Disney to waste resources on you.
Excuse me?
I'm sorry, I expect basic food safety & cleanliness at Disney. Bugs crawling on food is a major issue.

Right. Unless the flies are there due to poor sanitation I don't see why Disney would do anything other than pass along a comment card.

I do understand your frustration, but once the food is in your hands the responsibility of keeping flies off the food lands on you.
Their responsibility is to provide you with sanitary food, what you do with it afterwards is your business.

It's been years since I lived in the South, and since we don't have bug problems in dry Southern California and they simply don't exist at private businesses with routine cleaning like Disneyland, I won't pretend to be a bug expert. I have noticed bugs of all types and sizes while at WDW, but since I have a point of reference after living in the Humid Bug Infested American South, I'm not devastated by them. But they aren't attractive or pleasant.
But... surely there is something Disney could do to combat the bug infestations at WDW. They must have some sort of a pest management process in place, or that could be activated when infestations get bad. And if the black fly problem at restaurants is as bad as several posters on this thread say it is, then perhaps it's time for WDW management to step up their game and redouble efforts on controlling the bugs and nasties flying around.
Having grown up in Florida, I'm 100% sure that they have some sort of pest management program in place because the concentration of pests is much lower on property than surrounding areas. This may fall into the "something new" category and that is causing problems. Just a guess on my part.
Well considering how some people think that TDO is full of crap, maybe the flies are being attracted to poor management.
WDW have a massive pest control operation that they run. Notice you rarely see ground based bugs around property? That is not just by chance.
They also spray daily for airborne bugs.

Don't they eat flies?
Um, they were filming Ratatouille.
Good point! I wonder if they're trying out the Frontierland outhouse I've heard rumor of....kind of a companion to the Tangled toilets.
Liberty Tree Latrine?

Dave is right. Moreover, Disney has a massive pest control dept as already indicated by Steve. Guest Relations should want to be aware of this sorta thing as they can relay the info to pest control. Merely saying 'just fill out this card' and expecting it to filter through the system isn't doing Dave, guest relations or pest control any favors.....
You may have misread my post which is understandable. Florida has these rodents that are a bit larger than a mouse that can show up if you have fruit falling from trees. They will eat the fruit off the ground. Thus, the name.
You're operating from assumption that pest control isn't already doing all they can. However, guest relations should be polite and say that.....Really, for flies, it is hard to beat fly strips....I can't imagine the complaints if fly strips were hanging everywhere full of little corpses.
