One of the things I love so much about you and your family is that you are absolutely down to earth. You don't put on airs.<br />We don't have big massive flys like you guys...we usually have a lot of Mosquitos but this summer we are so dry and hot that everything is just dead, dried up and burned up.<br />I really do like your light fixture....great job.<br />Hugs<br />~aAnnestahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03960187022406492585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222945587640777221.post-32515268081822097252011-08-09T20:57:12.922-04:002011-08-09T20:57:12.922-04:00The best "fly swatter" I've ever own...The best "fly swatter" I've ever owned is shaped like a tennis racket but with metal "stings" and uses batteries. You swing at the flies and they are instantly electrocuted. Even if one is on something you wouldn't normally want to swing at, you can get close with this gadget and it fries them anyway. I'd never want to go back to the old style fly swatters after using one of these.Yabuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15450215380644729572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222945587640777221.post-47616844993691670992011-08-09T17:37:57.258-04:002011-08-09T17:37:57.258-04:00Deborah,

It's a thing I bought at the hardware store for $5 - cut a hole in the top, pull up this thing that lets the flies in, fill half-way with water, and hang it up. You have to put it outside - but it attracts flies like crazy.<br /><br />We have one hanging outside and it has seriously decreased the numbers of flies inside. We also did corn outside this year - with the fly bag hanging about 10 feet away - we had some annoying flies, but NOTHING like it could have been.<br /><br />:)Naptime Seamstresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05971159046347608338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222945587640777221.post-85250960178910564542011-08-09T14:41:21.452-04:002011-08-09T14:41:21.452-04:00Oh bummer!

So as we were taking things out of the old house the air conditioning was cooling the outdoors. Then at our new house, we had flies all over. We soon took matters into our own hands and they are finally gone.<br /><br />Fly free,<br />~MichlynMichlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10733034144797526387noreply@blogger.com
