... I can't get it. It's driving me insane. I go hunting and it disappears for a while. Then as soon as I sit down... it's baaaaack. :mad:


I think I may have to burn my house down to get it. :rolleyes:
 
Cats!!! I have a fly in the house right now, too... but the two kitties are tag-teaming and wearing it down...

and I just have to watch...

very entertaining :cathappy:

All things considered, I think I'd rather have a fly in my living room than a dead old woman. ;)

If you have Windex or 409, spray them...the chemicals drug them and slow them down long enough to swat them...sometimes even kills them.

But the cat idea works too! It's funny to watch! (I have two cats myself...they love it when we have a fly in the apt! lol)
 
Reminds me of an old cartoon where the character destroyed its house chasing the fly with a shotgun. :D

Edited to add: Mr. Magoo. It was Mr. Magoo.

Flies are yummy. Especially the big crunchy ones.:eek: Jokes, I understand your pain CD. I have a zillion flies. Eastern New Mexico in summer and early fall bring the state bird. Flies. They coat walls and stalk you in your dreams. like Freddy only worse.

I have one of those too....its huge....other flies have to flag it in like those guys on the runways for it to land.
When it flew by me it created a breeze.
 
I agree with Selena....Time to get a cat.

Cat, in Florida, has those kittens. Is that anywhere near where you are? I'm sure he'd be happy to give you one.
