I think any of the chemical vapour things you wouldn't want around the baby. The fly paper works hanging from the ceiling but I find I seem to walk into it. We had in our old home what were known as cluster flies that seem to have bred in the window space between the outside siding and inside wall (if that made any sense to you). Same deal hundreds of flies so you might want to have another look and see what the situation is in the trailer to try and find any openings in windows, doors, ceilings etc. It's possible if you found out you could do a one time spray of the Raid or something into the crevices on an afternoon you and PartyPie are out visiting and then air out the place when you get home.

There are also these little cubes that you put about the house that do the same thing. Maybe these sorts of things would be good and avoid aeroguard lung creation?? I remember when we were kids there were these coils things that Mum burnt, but if I'm remembering rightly they were for mozzies, not flies, and I've got a feeling they caused house fires too, so maybe that's not such a good idea....
