Dropping Like Flies

November 16, 2010 by Bethany Sy

What’s incredibly disgusting you ask? Well I’ll tell you.

  • athletes foot
  • debreeding a wound
  • under-eye circles
  • dead flies

And I’m here today to talk about the latter of the four. It is past the middle of November, and no matter how often I sweep my floors, the next day they look like this:

Really? GROSS.

And we don’t discriminate either. We’ve got flies, Japanese beetles, Boxelder bugs, and occasionally a signature spider. But the weird thing is that we don’t see any of them creeping/flying around our house. We only see them once their decaying carcasses start piling up like an insect genocide occurred in our home. Ew? Yes Ew.

Just airing our dirty laundry. It’s one of my favoritist things to do.

    I was having the same gross problem…try a small necked bottle with apple cider vinegar and cover the opening completely with saran wrap…poke a hole in the saran wrap. The flies seem to get in, but can’t get out. I was finding entire cup fulls of dead flies, but at least they finally went away.

    Yep, that looks about right. One of the joys of living in the country. You should see the floor of my parents’ attic, right next to the windows. THAT looks like a genocide.

    We got em too! Mostly the Japanese Beetles. Frustrating trying to keep up with them. We however, not only see them dead, but crawling on the walls and ceilings. . .leaving trails of little bug poops, I’m sure.
