Anyone else ever get a bunch of flies in their house for about a day or two every summer?

Probably had one fly get in and lay eggs, and then they hatched and metamorphosed.

Maybe your wife needs to close her legs.

Remove the dead hooker from your bathtub.
You'll be amazed at the effectiveness of that strategy

Happens whenever it gets warm outside. I’ve had luck using the Zevo plug in bug zapper. Works against all types of flying insects.

Hope this helps

Yes, but I fixed that problem last year. I took some of those sticky mouse traps and put sugar on them and the flies land on them to get the sugar and they get stuck. And I bought a pack of fly swatters and have them all around the house so they can be taken out as soon as I see one. I don't want them to have any time to be able to breed.

Evidently lavender candles supposedly help, but didn't try those.

No. I have gallon ziploc bags at each door to keep them away.

I bet by the time you roll your arse over to the fly swatter, and then roll back over to the fly, it's already gone.

Why? I am not any slower than the average person. In fact, I can probably do it faster than some of you old lazy fricks. Or what this just an attempt at a joke? If so, do better.

No because I’m not a lazy slob, and I keep my house clean.

Strange but, just yesterday here in north central Alabama, a friend said she had one big fly two days ago and she swatted it dead. She comes in from work yesterday and she killed 25 of them. Today, Nuttin so far.

Do you stay in your house and never open the door?

Fruit flies are a problem in my complex. They breed in the garbage disposal. Gotta clean that shite out pretty much every day during the summer.

Large pot of boiling water followed by some Clorox. Then close off the drain overnight.
