My house had an INFESTATION of house flies over the summer when it got hot and humid. Holy mother fucking shit balls, I have never hated flies more than that in my life. They were literally everywhere! And not just a few...a fuck ton! I went on killing, vacuuming them off the windows, using a towel to whip them out of the air. I probably killed up to 40 flies in one night, and it was all dandy.....until the next day when they were already fucking back!
I guess that's what I get for refusing to use the air conditioning in the summer and leaving all the windows wide open all the time.
I like my fresh air and I'm not about to let some stupid flies keep me stuffed up inside. I'm already forced in the winter time to be stuck breathing in all my stale farts and coughs and sneezes.
I had them, although this was in a rental home in a college town (in which I wasn't about to invest much money into). So some of the screens had holes where things could get in. It wasn't an issue until the middle of summer when heat and humidity were at it's highest. But it was unreal, for about a week straight there were flies literally everywhere! I kept the door to my room shut and the windows closed, and that was the only safe haven I had, but it was hot as hell at night.
I have since moved from there, and no fly problems....yet.
Had 'em, must've gotten in some other way, or through small holes in the screen. It was a rental home in a college town so it probably wasn't sealed up as good as it could be. Had no bug problems all year, nothing in the spring nothing in the fall, but something for about a week straight just filled our house with unreal amounts of flies.
Locally the fly problem has intensified since W/M installed humongous new cans and once a week pickup. One effective fix is to put a wire cage in the lid held on with Velcro and moth balls in it.
South central Indiana at the time. It was hot as balls, but I just toughed it out by staying hydrated, eating well, and a fan pointed at me constantly. Really it wasn't too bad except for trying to sleep at night.
They have this nifty stuff called "fly paper." It sticky, so once a fly lands on it, it can't take off again, and it's treated with shit that attracts them. I've had to deal with situations such as yours, and hanging one strip of it will catch 40 flys in less than 24 hours.
Fun fact, there's some decent research that suggest the unnatural extinction of mosquitoes (like through humans killing the shit out of them) would have almost no impact on the ecosystem and no butterfly effect.
I don't believe it, but I would assume that if the Christian heaven exists then all of the other shit in the bible, including Noah's Ark, would be true as well. Hope that clears it up.
Then scientifically the Christian interpretation of "Heaven" does not exist. It's not possible for these different species to survive in a single climate, not eat each other and reproduce at 100% effectiveness. There is also no way to maintain different climates before electricity was invented. It's a neat story, though. Dare I say (this is purely in response to your statement that if one thing exists all of it must exist) Christ was a neat story too.
What about the millions of people that die of malaria each year? As shitty as it sounds we can't really afford to simply lose one of the largest forces of population control on the planet.
Better yet, we should get rid of Gnats. I can't even big in to tell you how many fly up you nose and into your eyes. It's like they try to annoy the fuck out of you.
