i have taken to carpet-bombing the house with this shit before i leave for work in the morning. it's not a pleasant sight to come home to.

When I was in Switzerland a couple of weeks ago, I would get woken up by these malicious flies every morning, like clockwork.

I swear that one actually flew into my armpit in an attempt to TICKLE ME. Bastards.

for a while the building seemed to be crawling with these BIG ones. like when bart went into the matter transporter and came out with the fly head big.

I had one crash right into my eye the other day. So inconsiderate.

You know flies shit on whatever they touch, right?

those really big flies, at times, can fly so slowly, it's strange to watch. how did they get so big?

― ai lien (kold_krush), Thursday, 14 July 2005 15:12 (twenty years ago)

Is there anything more frustrating than hunting (fast) flies (without a flyswatter)?

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 14 July 2005 15:18 (twenty years ago)

flies are much more reasonable than mosquitos. wtf is up with them.

― AaronK (AaronK), Thursday, 14 July 2005 15:51 (twenty years ago)

Mosquitos are annoying yes, but have you ever been bitten by a fly? I was once when I was little. It was a big horse fly and it stung like a mofo. Worse than a bee sting and lasts a loooooong time painful and itchy. Much worse than a mosquito bite IMHO.

― Wiggy (Wiggy), Thursday, 14 July 2005 22:18 (twenty years ago)

those fucking deer flies or whatever are so annoying. they're insanely fast and they just love to orbit your head continuously until you're still enough to land on. you can't even run away, they just keep on following you. house flies are pussies by comparison.

Slint seems to agitate the houseflies in my office.

Bleach your drains, if your bf can cope with bleach (they breed in drains). Kitchen and bathroom need bleaching.
Keep your kitchen ridiculously spotless. We moved our compost bucket into the freezer and it helped.

FUCK FLIES

i love Raid flying insect killer because it KILLS FLIES INSTANTLY but my boyfriend sneers about "that chemical shit" whenever I bring it up as a solution to GETTING RID OF THE FUCKING FLIES. we can both agree on fly strips, which work ok but are unsightly and don't KILL THIS FLY RIGHT HERE in FIVE SECONDS.

do i buy the Raid anyway and hide it or is that shit actually bad?

― Chew slowly, expectorate. (Matt P), Saturday, 31 August 2013 20:09 (twelve years ago)

Buy it, hide it, use it when you can; and if b/f discovers it, just grin sheepishly and point to this thread so he'll see that you've got MY support, at least!

Flies = nasty little fuckers. Only good thing about 'em is they're not mosquitoes.

we talking fruit flies or big horse flies?

― 乒乓, Saturday, 31 August 2013 20:33 (twelve years ago)

my recommendation is to get an electric fly swatter. http://i.imgur.com/3XVIk3b.jpg

― 乒乓, Saturday, 31 August 2013 20:33 (twelve years ago)

though get the one that uses disposable batteries, i feel like this rechargeable chinese shit might set your house on fire

― 乒乓, Saturday, 31 August 2013 20:34 (twelve years ago)

THAT LOOKS AMAZING, THANK YOU

― Chew slowly, expectorate. (Matt P), Saturday, 31 August 2013 20:40 (twelve years ago)

we have two. the best strategy is to close all the blinds. then open one blind. the fly is attracted to the natural light. it will fly there. that's when you can use the swatter to zap it.

There are a lot in my house right now. I hate them.

― homosexual II, Saturday, 31 August 2013 23:41 (twelve years ago)

one year passes...

the fucking worst. i usually have a lot of fruit flies but this year so many house flies. trash went out today. there are still like 7 in the kitchen. my cat kills them and leaves them on the ground. one won't stop buzzing around me in bed. i know they can get in the house from around my back door because the frame is crooked but there shouldn't be this many constantly in here. maybe there's a dead rat somewhere close by? kitchen is not the cleanest kitchen ever but not disgusting. i don't think they can breed anywhere but trash anyway without me seeing the results. make it stop1!!!!!!!

At least they're not elephant flies, to polyanna atrociously.

Had to walk into town from an event at NUIG yesterday. There were thick clouds of flies or midges on the bridge and elsewhere. Had one go up a nostril, yuk.
Really need to springclean my kitchen cos getting flies around compost & fruit bowl. Nasty.
