Question Composting Smells and Flies

Hi all,

Not sure i am posting in the right forum but i'm sure one of you will let me know if i am wrong

I started composting a few backs and have been religiously adding everything i possibly can. I noticed the flies getting worse each week but thought nothing of it as i figured this was part of the composting process.

Today i went to add more stuff but can barely get near it for little brown/orange looking flies. I'm not squeamish but trying to open the lid with them flying out at me if certainly off putting. They are all over the outside too.

Is this normal? Is there anything i can add to help with the smell and deter the little bllighters?

Any replies will be much appreciated

Thanks

ShazM
