This is GREAT! ; )<br /><br />And yes, I've seen your kill the fly routine. VERY effective!<br /><br />BTW, isn't the life of a housefly, like, 24 hours? Shoot, by the time you get this, they'll probably already be dead. And then, if you didn't already, you'll have something dead in your house to attract more zombie flies. Where will it ever end?

Yup, the plague of the flies is a death knell.

I think it probably has something to do with temperature changes or something. Is suppose it could be something that mimics the smell of decay, making it easy for the flies to find a way in the building. Once inside, they can't find a way out. Without food, water and a place to lay their eggs, they become "old flies" very quickly.Timothy Fishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06554064732811895577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10583449.post-44424640463107406662010-08-18T04:09:31.509-07:002010-08-18T04:09:31.509-07:00You've definitely got a book in the making her...You've definitely got a book in the making here. I googled "lethargic house flies" and got this:<br /><br />You have something dead in your house that is attracting them. <br /><br />And this:<br />Flies live off rotting organic material. Find that and you will find your source. If you don't find it they will eventually die off as the organic material is eaten and there is no more food for them. <br /><br />So, in short, BC, you have something dead in your house.<br /><br />I even found an article on Zombie Flies here:<br />http://www.examiner.com/biology-in-philadelphia/real-houseflies-update-natural-method-of-eliminating-zombie-flies<br /><br />Do I get a cut on your royalties when the book comes out? ; )Deborah Raneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04252126648118644451noreply@blogger.com
