I see the problem, it's not the garbage cans, it's that lonely tree in the middle of the turnaround. That is a Sterculia foetida, and flies love 'em.


Really??

How interesting..

My landlord just had that thing planted about 4 months ago, and it is not doing too well. It might be for the better..

Hbg,

I only wish we had a pool close by.

But, I dont see any other offender around besides the bunch of trash cans.

I dont quite know if it would truly qualify for a call to the health dept, as flies are just a fact of life where there is trash...
but how clean people keep it might be..

I follow the republican methodolgy for flies, when they land on the ceiling I use a 12 guage (yes the upstairs neighbors complain but I ignore them)

so, I guess you didn't like my honey in a saucer surrounded by a moat suggestion.


harumph....

how about venus fly traps? naw, takes too long.



ooo ooo ooo....you can make your own pitcher plant,

take a lump of dog **** and cover it with honey.

put the dog **** in the bottem of a glass (I'd use a clear glass so I could see what's going on, but that's up to you)

make a funnel and put in top of glass, so the flies will smell the dog **** and go into the little opening.

between the dog **** and the honey, they'll never get out.

I mean, you have a dog, the dogs shits, right?

You could put a bunch of them all over the apartment.

If it works well, we can go into business together selling them. We could call it "Dog **** in a Glass (with extra active ingredient, honey)"


Dog **** in a Glass, ask for it by name.

You can still get sticky flypaper, the kind you hang and pull, it's non toxic and quite effective.

Oh no, it'd be really cool I think.

The fly would primarily be interested in the dog **** I think, but hey, who doesn't like honey?

They would get all stuck up and start rolling around and suffocating and everything.

In college, it was IMPOSSIBLE to get rid of cockroaches because it only takes one pig on the floor to infest everyone.

We'd put these roach motels all over.

One time I look in one and this roach had gotten caught, and died, BUT (here's the good part) BEFORE she died she had laid one of those nasty cockroach eggs, you know, the ones that look like dates?

ohhhhh.....it gets even better....the egg had HATCHED and all the farging cockroach babies has come and and immediately gotten caught in the sticky stuff too.

it was awesome.


another time I was chasing this cockroach around and sprayed it down with Aqua Net. It writhed and everything for a while, and then, in a death spasm, it laid this big old egg.

I remember thinking "wow, I guess that was its way of trying to ensure the survival of its young"

then I vomited.

Think positively.

At least they're not scorpions.
