Flies....are they getting quicker?

Youre getting slower... just a thought.

I concur with Emitdeb's observation

Alternatively you may be better using a rolled up Sunday edition rather than Saturdays which is far more bulky and harder to swat with .
Gentlemen , choose your weapons (carefully and with considered thought)

Do people still purchase an actual Racing Post newspaper?? if yes, why???

I thought this was going to be a thread about get a todger stuck when fastening trousers

I also thought i maybe getting slower but i'm fairly certain they are getting quicker.
I don't use fly spray but they don't like a quick spray of Dettol Clean and Fresh.My mate swears by his 4 volt "zapping swatter/bat"

My flies are quite zippy.

Tying this thread in with Denzil's "Best way to kill maggots" thread , I would suggest that flies are at their most squattable whilst still in larvae form

Rolled up paper?  You need to up your game.  A well-aimed elastic band is the answer.  Outside the house, around the bins, I'm partial to indulging in some chemical warfare, although I was concerned this morning when I sprayed about a quarter can of Raid on some maggots and they continued to wiggle on regardless.

i seem to have an invasion of the little blighters - who don't want to leave; on my "Too Late" topic

The little sods are hard as nails and seem to be adapting,the ones I covered bug killer and normal table salt kept going plus the Pottasium chloride salt eroded big chunks of them but they still kept trying.

Not just the cockroaches then eh ?

I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here are currently making me an offer for all the strange creatures in my abode.

I didn't know your missus is a celeb.

I think bees seem to be more well behaved than the were in the 70's

Have you tried using chopsticks? Mr Miyagi didn't seem to have a problem, and he was 152.
