Okay my house is infested with house flies..... literalle 30+ of them. the dead ones I killed with bug spray are still buzzing after almost an hour after Isprayed them..... the dead are in the reange of 28. and I count at least 12 more live ones..... any ideas where houseflies in such large quantities appear in less than 24 hours, with all doors shut and locked, same for windows?

Megil, sounds like you had eggs layed somewhere and they just have hatched. King, although our house isn't messy, in Florida you get visitors through the drain pipes that are called palmetto bugs. They are like huge roaches and can fly and can grow up to 3-4 inches long. I am the main palmetto bug smasher in our house, me & my trusty flip-flop sandal. But for smaller flying bugs may I make a suggestion? I shall introduce you to the SPIDER. Let spider spin webs in the unobtrusive corners of your house and your flying bug problem will vanish.

Let spider spin webs in the unobtrusive corners of your house and your flying bug problem will vanish. Because my house is bloody ancient (200+ years), there are many ways that insects get in. Now, a few years ago, my fouse was infested with ants. We put ant poisons down, we made sure they had no food and we killed them by the hundreds, but it seemed all hope was lost. That was, until a few spiders caught on. They entered from my basement and fed solely on the ants, and withing a few weeks every ant was dead and most of the spiders left. Now because its summer in Ontario, we have mosquitoes(sp?) all over the province and in our home. This isn't too big a problem, because the spiders, once again, caught on. Combined, me and a single spider killed thirty in one day. Now if you do get spiders in your house, do not let them lay eggs. If you have a soft spot for arachnids, try to catch the pregnant females in a jar and release it far from the house. Do not move it with your hand or just a piece of paper, because they are more prone to bite. If you lack a soft spot for arachnids, kill the egg carriers. Hope that helps. Edit: Congratulations Wolfie! Fly! Fly freely!

I live by woods, our house is also covred n spiders, we grew used to them, we jsut tearr down their webs when they get icky with litter, then the next day we have nice clear and clean webs rebuilt.

Rainer had a real scary expereince with a spider once. when His family was comming home from vacation, Rainer went to his room to go to sleep, when he ran into a web strand on his light fixture connecting to his desk. Rainer put it aside, and fell into sleep. ' He woke up in the middle of he night, opened his eyes, and found a big spider hanging right in front of his face. Rainer had to use a lot of willpower to keep quiet, he tried to roll off his bed, when the spider suddenly dropped, Indicating that The spider's web strand was connected on Rainer's body. Rainer almost screamed, grabbed his sandal, and pounded on the spider untill it was flat. Rainer normally is ok with spiders, but having a spider web being made on you while you sleep was a bit too close to Rainer's personal comfort.

QUOTE(mplantinga @ Jun 2 2006, 01:18 PM) So, I don't know if this is just urban legend, but it is said that the average person eats one or more spiders in their lifetime while sleeping. Rainer should be grateful he woke up before the spider was in Rainer's mouth. Uh.. Why'd you have to tell me that!? I can't go to sleep tonight..

We're pratically bug-gobblers. But then again just consider how many bugs live in your bed, feeding off your skin every night. It's great.

Don't have much of a flie prob here, my biggest pain is roaches.
I HATE those littel buggers, once one of them about 2 inches long climed up my leg and started to crawl up, I was swating and screaming at it like a littel girl.
Not one of my bravest moments but you would be screaming to if bugs start attacking you.

Thanks for the support King, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that has the girly screaming and flaunting fits when ever a bug jumps on one's self. *DoomsDay see's yet a nother roach and promtly rips out a shotgun, shovel and puts on his war hat*
