Also, they’re sensitive to moving shadows. As with motion sensors, if you move slowly enough, they cannot sense you. Slowly circle behind them and they jump into your death mitts.
Anyway, this has worked out better for me than a Bic lighter and hair spray. But that works too.
Orrrrrrrrrr, and hear me out…
You build a tiny replica house so that the fly isn’t homeless. Then he’ll leave you alone.
Build him a garage and leave the door open and watch him lose his mind trying to get one of his buddies out of it.
I never kill flies. I just feel bad. I do, however, trap them in a glass beaker and release them outside. It’s super-easy, you just go slow. Once they settle, slowly lower the glass over them. Then slide a bit of card between the glass and the surface and transport them outside.
Honestly, I have no idea why I do this. Maybe I subconsciously hope these small acts will balance my karma and somehow negate my illegal IPTV subscription.
I try not to kill anything but flies (overwhelming in the summer), cockroaches inside, and fire ants (invasive and destructive). I refuse to use poisons or herbicides, only fire ant bait.
Keep on! I’ve seen our insect populations crash since I was a child and the upstream ecosystem is suffering. Young people would be fucking appalled if they emotionally knew what I knew, seen what I’ve seen.
But good news! Our yard is the only reason we have frogs and dragonflies back on the block! More to come.
You talk like someone who doesn’t have carnivorous plants.
I just blow em away with this bad boy. Best 50 bucks I ever spent. So much entertainment.
I’ve got one! Annoyed my wife leaving salt all over the kitchen window sill.
Yeah, cleanup is annoying, but I think it’s worth it.
Kids broke the laser pointer, makes it really hard to use. But the SATISFACTION. :)
I’ve been hitting em with iron sights the whole time! My buddy has the laser tho, and it is useful
Also, their night vision is terrible.
I like to get a dishcloth and whip them.
