Did you jump over something unnecessary and slide down a hill on your arse nearly breaking your neck?

No but the bush flys in Canning Vale think inside my home is a nice place to be
I fly swatted about 60 yesterday and about 30 today...I just hope that means their numbers are diminishing

The quiet bevy on the verandah of an evening is a short lived aerogard stink fest. But in the big scheme of things I think our good friends in Queensland would be happy if these stinkin mozzies were their only whinge.

Thanks GF....I did not know about them...Might go on sunday and get a few..
the plastic ones last me about 1 a week as I tend to bash the poo out of them
and bits of fly swat go flying...

But won't, cant, hate the use of any spray...

Why in the world do they make orderless fly spray? hu! what so you can't smell it while it kills you?

I did use this today (in the Laundry with the door open) I have to have the door open when I use the dryer...So I thought I would try it.....killed approx 60 fly's...
Was very happy but had about 40 still to kill VVVVV


But why oh why would you use something that gives you an auto spray if you just "MIGHT" have something in the house...makes no sense to me



I think I must have the most spidery place in Perth....won't kill them....but do knock down their webs about every 2 weeks...but they do such a great job on the mozzies

Totally with ya on the dislike for sprays GD. I'd rather kill the flys than inhale the toxic gases myself.

I bloody hate it when eating a meal and someone pulls out a can or death spray and sprays it right over a table to get rid of a fly or two. Nice - thanks for the layer of death on dinner.

The zap rackets are great entertainment for my kids (Flys, mozzies and redbacks ONLY) and are heaps easy to take out targets as you don't have to swat super hard (and inaccurately).

G Funky seal of approval.

^^^^ I squish anything that is in the house that looks like a white tail...
I squish red backs ( but I find them pretty ) but black fat looking things get a ride on the broom to the outdoors Oh and those big hairy things (huntsman) that my bf said would stay in one room and don't go far..hmm I don't think so....so they are broomed to the outside..and black house spiders too.

The daddy long legs can stay...but when the babies come I broom them outside..

I LOVE jumpy spiders..or money spiders..I have no clue what their name is..but they are so cool...and do live freely in our home

We have the odd scorpion come in from time to time
BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no freaking bees
I have to pollinate my pumpkins myself

We get pagues of the little ****ers over here in Stockton if the prevailing wind is westerly off the magroves in the estuary after rain.

My mate sleeps under a fan but reckons that they seem to be getting stronger as they can now get to him.

I reckon the only way to deal with them is to eat lots of garlic and keep a can of aero poison for that bastard who telegraphs with a high pitch wine that he is going to get you, but only when you finally fall asleep in two hours time.

I had malaria when I was a kid. They are natures way of keeping human habitation to a minimum in some parts of the world and they are very effective.
