Irish The Chase star shares 'genius' method to get rid of flies in your home
With summertime here, many will be experiencing the annoyance of flies flittering around their homes. There is a way to stop that, however, and Irish The Chase Star Darragh Ennis has a "genius" method of doing so. Darragh, who is best known for his performances on ITV game show The Chase, studied entomology which gives him a particularly impressive level of knowledge on the subject of insects. Nicknamed The Menace while quizzing, Darragh recently shared a video on his popular TikTok account that revealed a sure-fire way of keeping flies away, especially if you have houseplants that insects are drawn to, The Express reports. The 44-year-old explained how in the warmer months of the summer, small black flies may get into your home and pester you with their constant flittering. Darragh admitted it can be "really hard" to get rid of the flies, which often live on people's houseplants. In his video, Darragh explained: "If you've got little insects flying around your house, it can be really annoying. Now, I'm an entomologist so I love insects, but I still don't want those tiny little black flies all over my house, and they're really hard to get rid of - especially when they live in your houseplants. "They're called fungus gnats because they live in compost and stuff, and they're a big pest in mushroom growhouses and things. Getting rid of them with chemicals is really hard." Rather than giving up and getting rid of your houseplants altogether, there is a way to keep them and eliminate the scourge of flies in your home. It may be a new method to you but Darragh recommends using nematodes. He continued: "You've probably never heard of them, but they're little microscopic worms that live in the soil. They're probably the most common animal on the planet, but we can't see them. There's billions upon billions upon billions of them." He added: "One type of them crawls inside insects and kills them. Now, it's a bit gruesome, but it's a natural way of killing them. "You can just order these online. You just put these into a watering can and then pour them on your house plants. The best bit about this is that they crawl through the soil and hunts through the larvae and everything so they're gone. "So if you want to get rid of those little flies and you don't want loads of chemicals, buy some nematodes. I studied them for my PhD, and now they're useful in my house." Darragh then showed his followers a packet of nematodes that he bought online. These were labelled as Sciarid Fly Nematodes, which can be bought online on Amazon for around €15. Other natural remedies that can help keep flies out of your house includes using herbs and plants that insects are not attracted to such as basil, lavender, mint, bay leaves and marigold. You can also make an essential oil spray by mixing one cup of water, 10-15 drops of an essential oil like peppermint, lemongrass, citronella, or lavender, and one tablespoon of vodka (optional, but helps oils mix) into a spray bottle and spraying it around windows, doors, and other entry points in your home. Another common way to deter flies, particularly small ones like fruit flies, is to make a homemade trap. You can do this by mixing apple cider vinegar and dish soap in a bowl, covering it with cling film, and then poking a few small holes in the top.

F1 in pole position as rave reviews have it set to become hit of the summer
F1: The Movie starring Oscar nominee Kerry Condon and Brad Pitt is on track to become the biggest blockbuster of the summer in Ireland. The film has been attracting rave reviews since it opened in cinemas here this week. And although official audience figures will not be released until tomorrow, industry sources reported yesterday that the movie is expected to be one of the biggest-grossing films of the year, both domestically and globally. Brad Pitt in F1. Pic: Warner Bros/Everett/Shutterstock One source told 'It's a bit early to say, but based on Friday's numbers, which have been good, it's up there with our best performing movies over the past few months. 'It's up there with 28 Years Later, which performed very well and the horror film Final Destination. It's tracking to match up with our best movies and it's on par with superhero and horror movies. 'I don't think anyone will disagree that it will be the biggest hit of the summer.' F1. Pic: Warner Bros/Apple Conor Kelly of Dublin's Savoy Cinema also said the movie is gearing up to be the big hit of the summer. He told 'People are just saying it's great and when they come out [of the cinema] they are saying they want to see it again. 'It's going very well and everyone has been raving about it. It's like the [Top Gun] Maverick movie, and even people who don't like Formula 1 – the sport – are saying they think it's well done.' Tom Cruise. Pic: Paramount Pictures He added: 'It's bringing in people. I think it's going to be like Twisters last year; that was helped by word of mouth. It could be the hit of the summer.' F1: The Movie opened in 710 cinemas in Ireland and the UK last Wednesday. The American movie trade magazine Variety has forecast it will make €42m during its first weeks in the cinemas. Directed by Joseph Kosinski and produced by Top Gun: Maverick's Jerry Bruckheimer, F1 cost €170m to make. Kerry Condon. Pic: Amy Muir/REX/Shutterstock Although the film is a work of fiction, Condon's character Kate – the only female technical director in Formula One – is largely based on the real-life Fermanagh woman and former Aston Martin strategist Bernie Collins. Condon – whose character keeps her distinctive Thurles accent in the film – has admitted she knew nothing about motorsport before she landed the leading lady role. Speaking about her pre-shoot preparation for the racing platform F1 Nation this week, Condon said: 'The first race I went to was in Barcelona, just to meet people and observe everybody. Everyone was so nice and generous, particularly Bernie Collins.' 'I learned a lot from Bernie because of her Irish background. I thought that was going to be perfect. I thought, 'yes, bingo, I'm going to base it kind of on Bernie's backstory.' [F1 TV's] Ruth Buscombe as well was very helpful. 'I just kind of found out a little bit about where they went to college and what they studied and the route that they took to get there,' Condon added. 'And then little things like the notepad that I have [in the movie] when I walk to the pit wall. I asked Bernie what she would have written on the front page of her notepad, just in case the camera caught a glimpse of my notepad or something. 'It was kind of radical because we shot a lot of the movie live with the real Grand Prix, so a lot of the cars flying by in the background were the real cars happening in real time. That's never been done before.'

Two young musicians awarded bursary in memory of true stalwart of the Wexford stage
The bursary was established in 2023, a year following Betty's sad passing. The award was an apt way to honour Betty's memory given her long history in the musical societies of Wexford. Betty was extremely well-known for her work with the likes of Wexford Light Opera Society (WLOS) and Wexford Festival Opera, as well as volunteering experience stretching back to 1968 with the Wexford Festival Opera. Betty served as chairperson for Music for Wexford from 2007 until her passing in 2022. The bursary in her memory will go on to help classical guitarist Dean Glynn and Irish harpist Mollie Carroll, two exceptionally talented young artists from County Wexford. Dean Glynn began studying classical guitar at the age of 6 at the County Wexford School of Music under David Creevy. He is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Music at the Royal Irish Academy of Music, studying under Peter Katona. Dean's accolades include winning the Bach Guitar Prize at Feis Ceoil 2024, and being a finalist and prize-winner in the inaugural Maeve Broderick Prize for Strings, where he received awards for both Most Original Programme and Best Audience Engagement. He has also performed at ChamberFest Dublin and on the main stage of the National Opera House, and serves on the Music for Wexford Youth Committee. Mollie Carroll has played the Irish harp since the age of eight. Music has always been a central part of her life, and she uses the harp as a way to explore both tradition and innovation. While her heart lies in traditional Irish music, she loves fusing styles, experimenting with pop, rock, and classical genres to shape her sound. Mollie performs with the Wexford Harp Ensemble and is a member of CCÉ Gorey/Ballygarrett. The bursary audition panel consisted of Beth McNinch (Viola), Aisling Ennis (Harp), Caitriona Frost (Percussion), and Eamon Sweeney (Guitar). Speaking on the award, artistic director Beth McNinch said: "Both young musicians showed outstanding musical talent and connection with the audience in their auditions, and the panel felt that together they would provide a really interesting concert to close out our Summer Season." Music for Wexford believes it is vital to offer young musicians paid performance opportunities, which can be difficult to find outside of school or college. To address this, the organisation has dedicated its July programming to supporting emerging artists, with lunchtime concerts on July 2, 9, and 16 at 1 p.m. in St Iberius Church, featuring musicians from the Royal Irish Academy of Music and Cork School of Music. ADVERTISEMENT These concerts promise a vibrant mix of wind, brass, piano, voice, and strings. In addition, all bursary applicants are invited to 'take over' Music for Wexford's Culture Night programming each year, curating and performing their own concerts. This initiative provides a unique and valuable learning experience for the next generation of performers. As part of their award, Dean and Mollie will perform a lunchtime concert on Wednesday, July 23 at 1 p.m. in St Iberius Church, Wexford, closing out Music for Wexford's summer season. Audiences can look forward to a refreshing blend of classical, traditional Irish, and contemporary arrangements. Tickets can be bought on the official Music for Wexford website.
