The common house fly...musca domestica.
Sounds like a nice Italian house wine.
But it is not.
It is an annoying creature that comes along in the summer.
Being in San Diego, we normally have no flies.
This year, yeah, they are here, in droves.
In droves.
In my kitchen window.
Hiding behind the very sophisticated fly traps with cute little flies drawn on to trick them into landing on the gluey surface and starving to death in silent agony.
Mine aren't starving....they are thriving...they are racing among the many fly traps....and I swear they are multiplying.
Today, I broke. I remembered the very sophisticated method that one of the B&Bs I stayed at in Ireland had dealt with a bee infestation. It was creative, and would still qualify you to be at one with your Hindu self.
That is right.
It was quite fun.
They did not get
a chance to run
I aimed the wand
and sucked them in
They are in a bag
of dog hair and dirt
I do so so hope
they are not badly hurt
We all amuse ourselves in our own sick little ways.
Ha,ha, ha...I had the same problem two weeks ago but it was because I had a dead rat in the attic. I vacum-o-rized them (I don't have a Miele) and wondered why I never thought of that method before! Can't wait to use it on a spider!
