[Tubey]

GET OFF MY MINTY BLINDS YOU HORRIBLE SPAWN OF THE DEVIL YOU.

So yeah... pet hate. Especially in restaurants. Anyhoos - what insect or whatever really gets on your nerves?

Can't stand them, one robbed my wallet once.

Buy a bottle of cheap but very sweet and fruity red wine (cabernet sauvignon). Put wine half-full in old beaker or pint glass. Put clingfilm over the top, wrap it round the cup so it's tight tight tight, yeah!

Then poke holes in the cover with a fork. The holes should be as small as the individual fork-stick.


Leave this at the windowsill in your kitchen (repeat in other rooms if necessary).


Marvel at how all those pesky fruit flies flock to this sweet treasure. Ponder as they squeeze through the holes to get to that fruity goodness.

Laugh as they overwhelm themselves in a gory display of gorging greed, unable to squeeze back out through the hole...eventually succumbing to the temptation that was to be their doom.


After a few weeks this cup will be choc-full with bodies. Rinse out and repeat.

Solid advice, might actually try if we get them again!

Cheers.

Any kind of flies. I get indescribably angry when I see a fly. Like I serious want to rip the wings off it and feed it to the deadliest garden spider I can find.

Probably will have been, their bites are horrible and often result in what you've got there.

Flame thrower is what's required.

I watched a snail eat a worm the other day, I still haven't got over it.
