After moving back to the mountains from Minnesota (I would find ticks on my bed), I feel so relieved. No fleas, lice, etc. Too high. And I don't miss them a bit. I'm sure there are flys - but I can honestly say, I haven't seen any this year. Occasional yellow yackets, but not many of those either.<br /><br />Ghaaa I hope you find a solution soon!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178290697351352495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6981771317071817483.post-76316147441472317852009-09-15T11:59:13.546-07:002009-09-15T11:59:13.546-07:00That is scary.

Maybe one of those bug zappers or you can run around with chop sticks like "The Karate Kid" and try to catch them that way. Anyway good luck in your battle and I hope you are victorious.Mr. Shifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061232966394052314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6981771317071817483.post-397779262612148162009-09-15T11:52:58.596-07:002009-09-15T11:52:58.596-07:00Ewwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!

One…this was great venting therapy (not to mention a pretty entertaining…if somewhat disturbing blog.) Two…There a great title for a book here. You wrote… The life cycle of a maggot and the fly…what a great title for like a spy thriller. No. Well, it is a bit of a reach, I guess.<br /><br />Best Regards, Galen<br /><a href="http://www.galenkindley.com/blog.htm" rel="nofollow">Imagineering Fiction Blog</a>joe doaks-Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05283066862112820202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6981771317071817483.post-1404281936589048332009-09-15T10:43:12.372-07:002009-09-15T10:43:12.372-07:00Sound completely gross!

We started freezing any meat waste and then throwing it out the day of garbage pick-up. I did have to laugh out loud at the vision of you needing to lie down with a cold cloth on your forehead. But not at you - because when it comes to creepy things I get into a panic.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01564542013071462911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6981771317071817483.post-31045005804862009362009-09-14T16:06:44.679-07:002009-09-14T16:06:44.679-07:00I hate maggots. they are so gross.

No central air in this house and we're open door people so trash can management is a must.<br /><br />When it gets dark, turn off all the lights in the house except for in one room. Wait however long til all the flies migrate to the light, then shut them up in that room. Then wait for them to die. How long do you suppose that takes? I always find dead flies in the country house when we get back.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.com
