Feckin flys

Why are they so thick? There so annoying. They fly into the house and then eventually navigate their way towards an open window but when you try to usher them out they keep flying into the glass and not out through the open. Bloody annoying creatures. Whats their purpose in life anyway?

To annoy.

They're really good at it.

The best are the ones that only announce they're in the room when you're in bed, the lights off...and THEN you hear them, and you have to do the whole "can I fall asleep with it or will it force me to get up" analysis.

What do you call a fly with no wings?

Ah, I kind of enjoy watching the dog trying to catch them. 7/8 years old and only seen her do it once.

Flies are pricks.

Remember to point this out next time someone starts bitching about spiders around the gaf.

What's the definition of pain ?

A fly sliding down a razor blade using his mickey as a brake !

These yokes work very well.

The random, back and forth flight is an evolutionary survival trait to make it more difficult for predators to catch them.

Bastards have largely gone to bed now. Until ye turn the light out to hunker down with a film .... :mad:

I know it's considered low tech and old fashioned. But, it sure as hell takes its toll!

Every little helps! Filthy bastards.

They do work well , but doesn't the bastard fly explode on contact sending bits of himself flying in all directions .

No. They tend to more stick to the grill, sizzling and smoking, till their burned out husk drops into the tray below.

That said? Ye'd be insane to set one above ye food prep surface! :eek:

Regular flys don't explode. You might have an islamic species on your hands there.

The minute I see one buzzing around I get out the fly spray immediately. If its on the wall I'll spray just above it and if it's flying around I'll spray the lamp shades and the windows. No need to spray the whole room. A squirt into the bin is not a bad idea either. Since I recently employed this kill em straight away strategy I have found that I have had far far less of a problem with them since ever so it's clearly working.
