Flies around your picnic? No worries: https://bugasalt.com/ $39? Hmm, I have a system. Wait for the fly to land, then clap your hands about 1-2" above the fly. They detect the wind of your closing hands and take off, flying right up into harm's way. Works very well, once you have done it a few times. Jon |

Jon Once when I was sandblasting rust on the car I aroused a swarm of wasps somehow, possibly from the sound of the spray gun since they attacked it instead of me. Since I was suited up I decided to fight it out with them. Like a fanatical enemy charging a machine gun they flew straight into the blast until their wings were shredded. |

Jon In the late 70's our group was housed in a metal clad building with lots of windows. We were well populated with flies (which the landlord chose to ignore) and somewhat under employed so we developed a "fly rifle" on which the trigger released the loose end of a large elastic band tethered to the end of the barrel so with a little practice, once the end of the barrel was within a foot of the fly it became a black smear. A sheet of celuloid on a wire support served as a sighting device/splatter shield. The landlord was less than impressed when it came time to clean the windows. |
