FUCKING FLIES

[BumbleBeeeeeee]

I have fucking had enough of fucking shitty bastard grotty fucking flies all over my fucking kitchen!!! Fucking fuckers.
That is all.

and then a couple of window fly stickers in the kitchen

I hate them, most useless invention ever.

They fucking love me too which doesn't do much for my self esteem.

I'm basically comparable to a dead badger or piece of dog shit 😂

There was a thread on here called "tips that actually work" or something similar.

On that thread they said hanging a sandwich bag of change in a sandwich bag (a clear one) full of water will stop them coming in.

Not tried it yet but I will now I have remembered it.

I was sat on my sofa this morning with a tea towel in one hand and a can of fly spray in the other, poised like a ninja. I think I'm actually starting to scare DH I'm so furious at the little fuckers.

We have this. DP loves it.

I got a very similar device to the Amazon one for £1 at my local Poundland. It works surprisingly well.

Weighted voiles/nets solve the problem.

Of course, you have the issue of being unfashionable as a result, but not having multiple vectors of infection in your house might make it worth the sheer social death of a piece of sheer fabric hanging in a doorway.

We have a magnetic door screen. Velcroes round the door with the two halves closing with magnets. We have the back door open all day every day and very, very few flies! (They usually get in if the front door is open.)

Flypaper. Cheap, works, and horribly satisfying.

I have a bat of death but getting older I struggle to be fast enough to catch the disgusting things

Katherine I bought the same this year and I would thoroughly recommend them. I've only used the fly spray a couple of times this year.

I DETEST them. Horrid little annoying fucking twats.

They’re doing my head in. I’m sure they’re worse this year. My cat likes to catch them but unfortunately has a habit of knocking over everything in his path when he does.

Absolute bastards. The shitting noise they make, buzzing around and flying into windows is like torture.
My husband tries to blame them on me because I make him take all the spiders outside but I'd rather a thousand flies than a spider in my house. We have an unsightly fly paper hanging up and I've learnt that the most effective way of killing them is to try to get them from directly above. They see you if you go in with the teatowel from the side and move just in time. Sly fuckers, I really hate them.

Just ordered 2 magnetic door screens.
Hopefully dpuppy will use a paw and not teeth to get through..

I have some very helpful spiders in my conservatory. In the morning I go round and sweep up all the dead, life sucked out them, spun up, bodies. It is a bit grisly, but very satisfying.

Oh, and I'm afraid I don't care about voiles, I have them on all the conservatory windows, and pull them over the open door. I think they look very continental floating in the breeze |(|it's what I tell myself anyway!!).

Fruit flies are my nemesis, they’re everywhere.
I have even stopped buying fruit because of them.
I hate bastarding summer.

I have a can of Raid in the hall for easy reach and between us dh and I can get the bastards

We have these at work. Fucking marvellous creation

I feel your pain OP.
Surely the most useless, disgusting creature ever. Noisy little shits flying right past your head goading you into a frenzy.
Husband has a zapper bat, I find all the dead bodies when hoovering most satisfying. This year seems like a bumper year for them too

You need a folded newspaper. Much better than a tea towel. I can't stand them either.

They're doing my head in. Really starting to give me the rage. I like the sound off the zapper bat!

My kitchen always seems to be full of the fuckers. I cleaned the whole thing from top to bottom. Next day there was about 10 buzzy bastards flying around. Fuck knows how they got in. All the windows were closed overnight

Flies take off backwards aim just behind them when you go to swat them and you'll get them more often.
