To hate flies. I think I am going to explode with rage.

[farewellfigure]

What is it with the flies this year? They are in every room in my house. I swear one is following me around. I think I am going CRAZY. Their stupid buzzing is making my nerves frazzle.

Bluebottles are worse. They are so fucking stupid. I'm like "look blue, the windows and doors are open, for the love of fuck stop bashing yourself off the frame and get the fuck out of my house...NOW!!!!"

I'm with you on that one. Hate them. And other than feeding spiders, what purpose do they serve? I genuinely don't know. I've had to buy one of those food net things to put over the catfood as the flies lay tiny maggots in there the minute I put it down! Gggrrrr...

Whenever I see a load of flies the 1930s comedy song The Flies Crawled Up The Window goes through my head, makes me chuckle, and I forget about the actual flies!

It's really really bad. Last year I think there was a big upturn in them. One of my piggies got fly strike and didn't recover :( this year they are everywhere and driving me bonkers. Can't leave food out for even the short time I'm cooking without covering it up. Aargh.

I am with you on this! I work in a converted barn in the middle of nowhere where people keep leaving the doors and windows open and there are so many massive flies!

If one flies past my ear again I think I may scream!

If they buzz past me, they actually make me jump. Urgh they're revolting. I'm trying to make cakes and am constantly covering everything. I can't bear the thought of one of them walking all over my butter icing.

I hate them.

They drive me to insanity. Doesn't help you get rid of one fucker and another flies in!

Last year I was driven to distraction by them and did a thing where you hang a small clear bag of water containing a coin up by a window. Apparently the flies are meant to think it's some kind of nest and don't come in. I swear it did actually work for a bit (with the dimmer flies) but everyone thought I was being daft.

That's what spiders are for - seriously
!
I leave the spiders alone and let them get on with their natural job.

I'm with you, hate them. Wish they just would die out along with wasps.
One woke me up buzzing right over my head at 4am, I sat on guard trying to bat the little $h!t until it was time to get up.
I've stopped hoovering the cobwebs in the corners of my house to let the spiders catch them. Spiders are my friends now.

i love those sticky strips. so satisfying to see them stuck there and not buzzing round. spiders were not effective enough.

God, yes. Don't understand all the daddy long legs hate when flies are a million times worse and they BUZZ.

I actually can't work (work from home) when there's one in the house - have to chase it round the place with a tea towel until it gives up and flies out the window again.

Oh Jesus - those bastards send me round the twist!

End up running round with a anything I can get my hands on to kill the disease spreading, shit eating creatures from hell!

It's not as if they avoid you. They dive bomb you and follow you from room to room no I don't stink

Last summer a gamer near us used illegal silage on his farm and the whole town, pubs and restaurants had swarms of flies. It was horrendous .

My DH asked if I smell when I said one was following me. I'm sure I don't. We have LOADS of spiders but they're not doing their job. Slacker spiders.

My neighbour has stinking chickens so we have 2 billion flies buzzing round here... and her sodding teenagers spend every evening whacking either a tennis ball or a football against the fence... If they wake DS up I swear I will kill them

Me too. Our house feels full of them. They drive me crazy with their noise. When we lived in Australia we had all windows and doors covered with mesh - it was fantastic!

Same in Mexico. If When I get my own house «wistful» I am having those mesh things for my windows :)

I can't bear the filthy feckers!! They really make my skin crawl. We bought a thing off the tinternet it looks like a small tennis racket and you press a button as you swat them with it and it delivers an electric shock and kills them instantly!

I never ever kill anything bug like-not even wasps as I worry in case it's a bee that's lost it's fluff but I have no mercy when it comes to those dirty disgusting shit dwelling nasties! If they don't leave when I open window they are getting destroyed! They make me want to vomit thinking about them!

No more flies zip lock baggies

What is that? Does it really trap flies? I'd try anything.

I just got this. Bwahaha.

Me too Princess. but my twattish bil would leave screen door open on purpose

My 2nd cat loves flies, worms and butterflies. Theyre like chocolate to her. and we have hens but no flies there, there all in the bloody house.

I have a host of pound shop basic fly swats - and we try to leave one in every room. Can make quite a game of swatting with the kids. When we're all armed with one flies don't stand a chance!!

I hate the fuckers and their progeny. We have our wheelie bin cleaned, disinfected and a binliner put in (last Friday), no food goes in there and the fuckers still laid eggs all round the top...bastards
