The enemy:
A freakin’ Fly who has been harassing me for 2 days. I have offered $20 on Twitter and Facebook to anyone who can kill the ….thing.
Diana Rambles said she’d be right over. Still waiting.
My favorite method of fly-kill is the Windex method (and I’m normally NOT a violent person- PETA People- I’ve done many nice posts on your behalf). Windex makes for an easy clean-up. I can’t use Windex right now because I’m sitting at my really nice Cherry wood dining room table. I may want to use the table one day.
Found this but, I didn’t want to give the freeloaders any ideas.
Found this from Skymall
So, if you have any good ideas, let me know. The buzzing in my ear is getting on my nerves….

Have you seen these?
They are part of a campaign for awareness for brea$t cancer ($ is used to prevent certain ad issues).
Keep A Brea$t’s target audience is teenagers. Across the nation, health classes are being cut, P.E. scaled back, and art and music are nearly non-existent. We think these are pivotal ways of teaching this group health, self confidence, and creative expression.
We feel the best way to reach, educate and impact teenagers in an authentic way is by giving them important, possibly life-saving information at places they already frequent: concerts and action sports-related events and partnerships with brands and stores they already shop at/for. We reach out to young people with the help of supporters like pro surfers, artists, skateboarders and musicians. These ambassadors are role models and leaders for today’s youth. The Keep A Brea$t team helps us spread the word about brea$t cancer prevention, body image, early detection, and the importance of living a healthy lifestyle.
Kids in schools are getting into trouble for wearing these. Why? Because of the certain word contained on the bracelet. I can tell you, awareness bracelets are the least of their worries when it comes to wardrobe malfunctions in the high schools. This issue is really heating up in some places. Keep-A-Brea$t

Poof your fly is dead. Where’s my $20??? It just amazes me that they worry about what kids wear as bracelets over other crap the wear and do. Thanks for sharing this.

If the fly is still hanging around, here’s what I use for any flying insect: hairspray. It ‘freezes’ their wings making them unable to fly. Poof the drop to the ground and you can dispose of them in your preferred manner. Good luck!

Hey Girly why haven’t you checked out my post on Killing Flies ?
you know I did that last year. You have two choices – hang a bag of water around your neck and confuse the flies by moving alot. Wink at em when you do, it’s hillarious.
Or be PETA Friendly and make a No Touch Trap – which is more humane. It’s simple, get a large soda bottle, cut the top off, at the bend. remove the cap. put some rotting meat or fruit in there. put the lid onto the bottle base inverted, so that the top funnel part and the mouth are facing into the bottom of the bottle. put a lil sweet pop or juice in to help get the fermentation and stink started. Flies like stink and that draws em like never before. best thing to use really is rotting meat, or a piece of Pitbull poop; fresh poop. they love it; hence the saying LIke Flies to Shia La Bouf… and anyway..
Send me that $20 for the EHouse call; as I’m sure right now you know I earned it Fair and Square Missy.
OBTW, here’s the link to the post so you can see how it’s done in the diagrams. this works for most winged pests.
Why didn’t ya ask a farmer in the first place, sheeshhhh.. (side-eye)

I’ll send my husband over. He catches them in his hand when they’re in the house and gets rid of them. I call him the fly samurai. It’s really a disgusting talent.

Hi there, we are your newest followers! We hope you will come visit us at http://www.justmarriedwithcoupons.com, Have a great day =)
How about a fly swatter?? They known to be VERY effective!
Fill a plastic up about half full of vinegar (apple cider vinegar, if you have it). Cover the cup with a sheet of paper towel and secure it with a rubber band. Poke a few holes in the paper. The fly will climb into one of the holes to get to the vinegar, and can’t get out. He will drown and you can pour him and the vinegar out.
Following you back for FMBT! Thanks!

Did you kill the little menace yet? I absolutely HATE flies with a passion! I mean, they are at the top of my list of things that I totally despise.
This is my method of eliminating them:
Arm yourself with a can of hairspray. You can use your Windex or another type of spray, but I’ve found that hairspray works the best. Pick the smallest room in your home, usually a small bath, that has a door. Turn off all the lights in the house (or at least in the vicinity of where you and the pesky fly are), except that one room (flies, like most bugs, are drawn to the light). Sit in that room for just a few minutes, it won’t take him long to arrive. Wait on him to land somewhere and spray him!! I promise, the hairspray is awesome because it is so sticky that it won’t let him move. At this point, you may do one of two things: 1) Kill him and put him out of your misery OR 2) torture him for a while like he has been doing you for the last few days and THEN kill him! :0)
This method is particularly effective if they have already been in your house for more than a day or so, because then they move a lot slower and are easier to attack.
Good luck!

P.S. Do we win the $20 if we come up with the winning execution method? I would absolutely, positively come kill him for you if I weren't confined to my bed. That HAS to count for something!
)
Oh, I forgot to mention that when he enters the room, close the door so he can’t escape! It is MUCH easier to catch him that way!

Haha! Love the video! I usually use the windex method or stun the fly by whipping a rag at it–then flushing it.
