I am of the belief that the city of Maricopa has a fly epidemic on their hands. If I have a mortal enemy it is the common house fly. I hate flies. I hate flies more than any other insect. They have been at the top of my annoying list for as long as I can remember. They are the only flying insect that you can shoo away many many times and they will keep coming back and landing on the exact same spot every time, like my elbow, for example, or the back of my head.
I wouldn't be bothered by them nearly as much if they would just leave me alone. In a house, they have hundreds of square feet to fly around in, they can fly in places that I can't go, like above the kitchen cabinets. There is enough room for both of us, but they won't have it that way. If they can, they will always buzz my face.
In two separate occasions in my life I've had a fly go up my nose. Both times I nearly punched myself out from that uncontrollable reaction. I think they do that on purpose.
Suffice it to say, I hate flies. As long as they exist I will hate them. I've been known to let spiders live knowing that they will pay their dues by eating flies. I always have a fly swatter within reach, although I have mastered the art of killing a fly with my bare hand.
Every week after I mow the lawn in our back yard flies seem to come from miles around just to pester me. I would kill them by the 20's and 30's everyday. I think our sprinklers in the morning keep them coming back. I bought this fly trap from Lowe's last week. Today after I finished mowing the lawn it appeared to have hundreds of flies in it. All I could do was grin. I'm going back this week to get more. And I think I'll get one of those blue light zappers too.
Listen closely, you can almost hear the buzzing of hundreds of trapped wings....
