Fire In The Hole!!!!

The flies are driving me crazy... the one thing about this time of the year that I truly can't stand is the flies that buzz around you and pester the daylights out of you. I walk around, perpetually, with a fly swatter in my hand. They crawl on the dishes in the kitchen and it bugs me.... I have to clean the dishes every time I want to use one. They crawl all over the computer and land on my legs just out of reach (see the fly in this picture) so that they tickle the hairs on my legs (when I forget to shave) and drive me clean square batty like I'm not there already.....

I wish I hadn't had to get rid of Waldo. She could have eaten five hundred of them....

Last night Hubby and I sat on our deck after the long fire ban was finally lifted and watched the glowing embers of our fire die late into the night.... it was lovely.... except the darn flies kept pestering me. Daughter #2 watched a fly streak into the fire and burn crisp in an arial display of complete stupidity and we all agreed that the little blighter deserved to croak in a ball of flames.

The flies are everywhere. You can't sit in the house without being driven insane with the stupid nasties crawling on some part of your body just out of reach. (see the fly in this pic?)

These are not bighting flies they are just little house flies that are too brazen for their own good. I kill them by the hundreds but it is like an oncoming never ending army of pests meant to drive the normal person to distraction.

What I want to do is dig a large pit and encourage everyone for twenty miles to climb in and then..... well look at the title of this blog.

I came up with a great idea.... you know those bug lights that zap bugs left right and centre when the are hung up and electrified..... well I always thought they were stupid. I mean they just zap bugs as five million more are attracted to the light of it and the bats get zapped too which you don't want since they eat bugs. While I was washing the dishes yesterday and going on and on about how there was no end to the little flies that I kept killing between drying the dishes, it occurred to me that if you put a bug light in the house at a strategic place and carefully place a trash basket under it, it would take care of every little nasty flying pest in the house and who cares about the ones outside.... I think it is a great idea..... I like it.

I'm off to burn my house..... uh... I mean burn the trim for my house.... like this...


and swat a few more flies.... sigh! (see the fly in this pic?)
