Old Movie with Insects that Kill

This movie was either in black and white or the colours were very minimal/it was mostly night time. Definitely nothing recent, pre-2000 but possibly much older. All I remember is that it had an old lady who’s house was infested with all kinds of bugs - cockroaches, flies. And she put up these bug traps, like sticky tape from the ceiling to catch flies. And then the bugs rebelled and killed her. I dont think this was a long movie, could be a short or from a tv show. I saw it when I was a child living in Poland so it could be of Slavic origin. I dont remember any dialogue. I can’t find this movie anywhere.

It seminds me of “They’re Creeping Up on You!” segment of the anthology film “Creepshow” from 1982, but it features the male lead character.

I will definitely be watching the whole thing come Halloween but I had a look at the mentioned segment alone and although the man could be mistaken for an old lady in a childs old memory I do remember there were flies involved too, and definitely a shot of fly traps hanging from the ceiling. But this is very close, I was dissapointed not to see the fly traps otherwise I'd have called it solved.

Another idea, this episode: Circle Of Fear - Death’s Head

Thats not it unfortunately. I remember it had cockroaches and fly traps... The sticky ones you hang from the ceiling. I remember the house was old-looking, run-down, exposed floorboards. Maybe near a grave yard? I remember the person getting killed by the bugs was old. I dont remember any dialogue or colour, i think the movie was either black and white or at night time. Could be an episode from some show though... I dont remember it being long.
