I hate them also as much...I mean, I clean my house, take out the garbage and there are STILL flies as big as my fist (mild exaggeration).<br />I staged my very own Fly Armageddon ;)<br />Good luck!

Fortunately Katherine's an even more zealous fly-hunter than I am, so she looks at each infestation as a fun challenge, which helps to keep me sane. I say give Mia a fly swatter and make it a family affair!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16644613647401437326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-64102557911968405652009-09-13T12:21:26.730-05:002009-09-13T12:21:26.730-05:00Hilarious!

My parents would give each of us a swatter and we would have to kill ten before we could do X.

...I am laughing to the point of tears here! Sorry! <br />You might enjoy a craft I saw recently where a mom took an old flip flop, poked a hole up through the bottom edge of the sole...and glued a small dowel rod into the hole to make...voila! A FLY SWATTER!<br />Thanks so much for you kind words on my blog: A Thankful Woman's Book of Blessings!

My sweet husband insisted that they were growing somewhere in the house 'because it is so filthy'. Filthy??? I wonder if he knew how much he insulted me. That explanation is simply not plausible. I do not know where they came from, but I do have a simpler solution to getting rid of them. I chased those flies most wrathfully with the vacuum cleaner hose and sucked them all up. The only thing is, they stay alive inside the vacuum cleaner bag for a while so you have to plug up its opening or they will fly out the hose. My vacuum cleaner has a little lid you can close but I'm sure you could accomplish that with a wad of plastic bag or something. You just have to be quick to get it in place as soon as you shut off the suction or the flies will escape. Believe me, it is much more efficient than a fly swatter. I felt like the Grim Reaper of Flydom with that thing.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05117120475033380036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-17278918016340014542009-09-12T08:31:03.241-05:002009-09-12T08:31:03.241-05:00maybe its the time of year but i have also been sw...maybe its the time of year but i have also been swarmed by flies lately. i killed 25 in one day last week. they are beyond gross. i think its the kids leaving the door open.kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06403839587472802558noreply@blogger.com
