Lordess of the Flies?

I am a germaphobe.  There, I admitted it. I ought to buy stock in the Purel company because it's one product I use on a daily basis.  (More than once a day.  More than three-four times a day.  And I wash my hands a LOT -- but not compulsively.)

So you can imagine my horror when suddenly there seem to be a LOT of flies inside our house.  Where the heck are they coming from?  Okay, the garage was open for hours and once a fly flies in, it seems to get stuck at the window near the door leading from the garage to the laundry room, and often they come in after us.  But we've been going through the front door to try to avoid letting the flies come in after us.

Monday I killed two flies.  Tuesday hubby killed three flies.  Last night I killed TWELVE flies!!!  (Don't get in my way when I'm holding onto my fly swat!)

Any fly that comes into this house is DOOMED.

What's bugging YOU today?

  1. Isn't it funny how different people can be? I am so NOT a germaphobe. I hate Purelle and only wash my hands before I prep food for other people. Ok, ok...I'm exaggerating - I do wash more than that - like after I milk goats or handle animals or work in the garden, etc.

    However, I do keep a clean house and the flies also freak me out. I go on absolute rampages to find and kill them all and clean anywhere they might be breeding. Ugh!

  2. I hesitate to mention this, but you might want to check your drains. We once had to clean out the bathtub cleanout to get rid of flies.

  3. To me, flies are just an unpleasant fact of life and I don't get exercised about them unless they insist on landing on me. Dave, however, goes to WAR and there is no peace until he gets every last one.
