We'll be on Gili T in late April and are wandering if the pesky fly issue is still so bad or is it only a seasonal thing? I Xmas & spent new year on Gili T a few years back and there were millions of flies everywhere (we actually ended up eating many meals sealed in our AC room as even getting a slice of pizza to your face without flies was impossible outside!!)
The poor bar / restuarant staff were trying everything from candles & fly-tapes to liberal sprays of insect spray, all to no avail. Flies were thick on every surface.
