Flyspray

[Quasievil]

I understand that these products are designed to kill flys and other bugs....but do they?
For a start I hate fucking flys, especially in the am when all ya want to do sleep in and there always seems to be some irritating little fucker with noisey wings which likes to land on your face, ya swipe at it and it comes back swipe it comes back..........Farking pisses me off so what do I do?

I ARM MYSELF with the latest chemical warefare weaponery from the supermarket I went down and loaded up with RAID and Black Flag two products designed specifically to kill airbourne insects, I strategically place them around the house in known flight paths and wait.........soon after a attack comes in and I spray these little fuckers with all the might which my newly acquired arsenal has to offer and wait for some crash and burn action BUT nothing happens.............I spray the little fuckers again and wait............ nope fuck all happens these little pricks fly around almost like they are taunting me so I spray again and again and a fucking gain......... Finally in a pool of flyspray lies a drowning fly, so fucking wet with this apparent deadly toxic spray he cant use his wings HAHAHAHAHA GOT ya !!!!!!!!!

So how does he die FUCKING DROWNING !!!

okay so here is the question how is it that these flyspray makers can claim to kill flies chemically when all that works it seems is death by drowning, do I go and buy a atomiser and fill it with water and drown them that way? (be a shtload cheaper) or is their actually a flyspray product that really does do what it says it will do and unleash some serious saddam style chemical warefare on their arses?

what do you use and whats your story?

Electric tennis racket (raquet or whatever) far more joy in zapping the little pests ! Not bad for torturing the mrs or whoever else get in the way either !

... at night... try putting a bowl of water under one of the corner lamps... bugs that are attracted to light see the reflection, fly into the water and drown. Cheapest damned bug spray you'll ever get.

Oh - and change the water every couple of days - it can get a bit ripe if you forget

+1 for these

[sunhuntin]

i find the mortein in the red can works fairly well, specially if you get them a direct spray. all the others are just shite. i must have sprayed a small fly multiple times yesterday with whatever the brand is in the kitchen and it was still buzzing around.

but, honestly, i think flies get strong each year... bit like the flu. whatever they get hit with [fly spray/medicine] they become immune to it, which is why last years remedy doesnt work.

[Mom]

Use a fan. Flys hate moving air and dont fly around, they sit on windowsills and the like. I have sprayed mine with a 30 day residual spray so they die after they land.

[nodrog]

spray every thing inside your house with ripcord (ceiling, walls, window sills, furniture, the wife) they will still fly in, but they fuck off pretty promptly when they cant find anywhere to land that doesnt mean death.

[sinfull]

Have ya tried it ? Didn't fry the 9 vlt system on ya did it lol or slow ya swing down at all ? Awww wait thats just for the torture side of it yr talking aye haha I want one of them electrode things they use at the physio bwahahahaha now that could be fun !

[nodrog]

Great for ADHD children too, they don't move round too quick after chewing on the window sills !

Harder to swing, but totally worth it... you know how they crackle and pop when you get a fly? Not this one... this one crackles and pops as soon as you push the button :devil2:

Cooool ! So they'll hear it coming and be cringing ! Wait off topic !!! Back to flys !!!

Mmm, we got the cheap knock-off one from the Warehouse.

It's great. Adjustable timer. And you can use the pyrethrum (sp?) one if you don't like spraying chemicals.

[PrincessBandit]

Have to agree with the ro-robo-robo-can-can stuff. Brilliant. One canister does our whole house - it's situated in the kitchen but we see crawling and flying things dying even in our conservatory which is separated from the kitchen by the lounge and hallway.
The bonus is that it takes care of the mozzies too which used to plague us at night. Our fishpond is not far from the bedroom window and in the summer, needing the window open, they were a continual source of annoyance.

Did try one of those blue zapper lights a few years back but the noise of them frying when they landed was irritating after a while and, to be honest, it didn't seem to do much for flies. Mum and Dad used to use those long dangly sticky strips for catching flies very successfully, but (a) they looked GROSS and (b) the flies in our house never went near them.

Also tried once using a product which was design to attract flies away from the house but unfortunately it stunk like shit (it probably was liquid shit) - even down the back of the section you could still smell it, so that didn't last too long!

So my vote is still for robocan as well. :yes:

Hmm, reading this post I just realised how fucked up I am.
Have 2 x robo cans, 2 X fly paper strips (rocky roads) and one bug zapper.
Fuck the flys, shitting all over my house, well not now eh, little bastards!

[imdying]

Naw, they've got no ears... but the neighbours dog doesn't shit on the lawn anymore. Which is good... for the dog, it's a lot less likely to get a pick axe in the back of the head now.

[vifferman]

And you can use the pyrethrum (sp?) one if you don't like spraying chemicals.
Pyrethrum is a chemical, originally derived from flowers (chrysanthemums) but often synthetically produced. Almost all insect sprays now use a pyrethroid of some sort.
How it works is that it interferes with the transmission of acetyl-cholines in the insect's body, and they die from a combination of basically wearing themselves out and being paralysed. This takes a while - it's not an instant killer. (If you want that, try lighting the spray before you squirt the fly with it :devil2:)
It affects us too (that's why your tongue goes numb if you breath in any of the droplets), but we need a HUGE dose to kill us, and our metabolism breaks down and neutralises the pyrethrum anyway.

take a 1.5 or 2.25 litlre coke bottle and cut off the top just below where the bottle becomes straight. wrap up some fresh meat in chicken wire and put at the bottom of the bottle and submerge in water. invert the cut off top and tape in place. Hope you get what i mean but basically the flies go in cos of the rotting meat smell but can't quite get to it cos it's under water they then try to get out but are too fukin stoopid to find the bottle cap hole they flew in. Many many flies meet their end this way. Keep it outside cos it'll really stink after a while and will become an incubator for maggots who hatch into flys then die in the same way as their mummys

Bwahahahahaha walked into that one lol bling sent !!!

[Beemer]

Fly spray used to knock bugs and flies out within seconds. The bastards around our place seem immune to it now though and you can spray them with about half a can and they still buzz in your face. Probably made in China, like the crap Band Aid plasters I bought last week that last five minutes before peeling off.

I agree
i just went into my kitchen and sprayed a whole heap, and the cheeky black pricks were landing on my arm as i was doing it
Im wondering if the manufacturers are watering down the flyspray so we have to use more which in turn forces us to buy more

That's pretty much how this (http://www.gordys-flytrap-fitting.com/index.htm) works. I think it was recommended in another thread - otherwise I can't think of how I got to thinking of it...

[martybabe]

Another vote for the Raid automatic/robocan. I resisted for ages because of breathing the pierectum .sp. in all day long but the irritating little bastards wouldn't give up on pissing me off so we bought one.

Not a bloomin fly to be seen anywhere now yay! still a bit worried about inhaling the crap though.

[slofox]

I hate fucking flys,

I never tried that.........

[slofox]

On a more serious note, window and door screens are very effective (as long as you keep 'em closed) and totally chemical free.....

[Maha]

what do you use and whats your story?

The power of the internet....I read this post earlier, went a did some other shit and ended up at the Four sq...along with the paninnis/smoked chicken and camembert (double creamy) I got some flyspray....:confused:

But I know what you mean Quasi...a single fucken fly can annoy the shit out of me while im sitting around....got get the can of fly fucker and its gone! I beleive fly's know what they are doing and know exactly a can of flyspray looks like. They will sit quietly watching, until you put the harmfull spray down, then they pop on over for another crack...Fuckers!....:2guns:

[Kittyhawk]

In the past I have been known to use DDT :shit: sprayed the ceilings and carpet in the house, fixed all bugs which entered.

However this is not allowed so I use ripcord industrial strength.

Get if from Farmlands or Wrightson I think - I borrowed dads lol ...farming supply shops will have it.

Mix it dilute with water, put it in a sprayer - garden one will do fine- (not a trigger bottle as it takes forever) and spray the floors and carpet etc. I think you can use it on ceilings but the floor is safer and more effective. keep pets outdoors till the spray dries. I've got cat turtles and dog and it dosent affect them. No flies, no fleas, no bugs.

:done:

[imdying]

I beleive fly's know what they are doing and know exactly a can of flyspray looks like.You better believe it! They sure as God made little green apples know what the crackle of the 12v fly swat racket means muwahahahahahah :devil2:

Oooh Oooh Oooh, but if you know someone who has chooks harvest those little maggots 'cause chookies LOVE to eat them! I used to collect them from our rubbish bag down the back (sounds molto grosso - I never touched them though) and take them to our friends chooks. Tip the container in the chook pen and it was major lolly scramble time!!

[portokiwi]

just brought one of those raid fly control system (portable)
looks like a little box which the flys get attracted to touches it flys off to die....... well that what the package says:doh: lasts two months
will wait and see.....
the flys are laying their eggs in the dod crap:no: not much fun clearing the doggie do dos at the moment....

[lb99]

I have one of those, its amazing, we still get the odd fly, but now they go outside when you open the door, our 6 week old flypapers have a total of 12 flys on them.

note..... dont kick over the flytrap when you are pissed in the back garden, it fucking stinks.......

[Oakie]

Raid 'Fastkill'. A very aptly named product sees flies showing the signs of imminent death after about 30 seconds.

If however you have super-immune flies you could always crack out the cigarette lighter and turn the fly spray into a flame thrower. Not recomended though for flies having a wee rest on the curtains.

[P38]

robocan is your friend.

What he said.

They are bloody awesome.

Its easy to tell when they are empty too.

The bloody flies turn up again the next day.

Fuck the flys, shitting all over my house, well not now eh, little bastards!

Mind you, better than the system we had at Seabrook ave. CRC and a cigarette lighter.
Well perhaps not better, but they do less damage to the ceiling and wall paper.

[tri boy]

Any creature that has tongue that can extend that far out of it's head is a winner in my books.
Ya'll just jealous haters, with a murderous streak.:shifty:

[gatch]

robocans are pretty chur.

anyone with any electrical know how here ?? possible maybe to change out the capacitor that controls the spray duration, also a solenoid operated bbq lighter placed just in front and below spray path..

automated fly incinerator :whistle:
