| OMG Flies!!!!! I just went in the kitchen and there was a ton of flies in there. I sprayed some fly killer and walked out the room... well... they decided they would come in here instead! The problem is the effects of the fly spray has kicked in, so they are spazzing out and dying! So I have flies, (I'm talking about 10-15 of them), buzzing round, crashing into walls, the mirror and worse of all... dropping on me! I'll be sat here and suddenly one will just drop on arm, laptop, HAIR! Needless to say I'm freaking out, trying to dodge them and twitching, throwing my arms about and keep wiping imaginary flies off me! My "friend" thinks this is amusing... I hope she gets flies soon and has this issue! So, I guess tomorrow I'm off to find something more effective at killing them!

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | No, of the flies hitting the wall. That sounds hysterical. but if you want to get a bit of you freaking out in there, that would be ok too.

| Vicky, I understand compltely -- I HATE FLIES -- and we live on a farm !!! Try a fly flip aka fly swatter. I hate it when you squish one, and it seems like lately you kill one and 6 relatives come to the funeral |

| Oh gosh... well the way you described the situation , it IS slightly amusing! Flies are sooo gross.... its not flies that bother me so much its that flies lead to magots, and I cannot think of a grosser thing in the world than a maggot. Id rather hold a spider than a maggot! Thats saying A LOT about how much I hate maggots. Hope you get the problem cleared up!!

| I feel your pain Vicky - I'm plagued with them too! Why do they all congregate underneath the ceiling lights and just fly round and round????? And I never understand how they have no trouble coming in but don't seem to be able to find their way back out again....even though every window in the house and the patio doors are open. I've been freaking out too....I keep thinking they're on me! My husband thought it was hilarious last night when I leapt out of bed screaming because I heard one buzz right by my ear.....ugh, makes me all shuddery just thinking about it. It seems this lovely warm weather has some drawbacks.... xxx

| All this talk about maggots and flies is really making my skin crawl. I hope I never have that problem... ever. What's worse is when I wiki'd information about maggots just now. Ugh. Okay, hope I never have to set eyes on them! I hate slimy, wormy, larvae(like) crawlies. As a matter of fact, I have a phobia of all little critters. Gypsy&Me, you need to make better "friends" who won't be amused at your expense! Me... for instance... |

| Speaking of maggots..... Here are three links to information that may change your mind: Healing Wounds With Maggots Maggots ...................................... (open with caution - includes photographs) Maggot Debridement Therapy - for wounds Vicky, you might try an umbrella for the falling flies problem. |

| Vicky, I understand that you are totaly grossed out, but the way you describe the situation is hilarious. What would you do in the jungles in say, South America, if FLIES freak you out??? LOL |
