    Bugs!!!

    Damn things cheeseing me off.

    Seem to have problems round my way with mozzies and such. Now I'm thinking of getting one of those repellant things you plug into the socket and it releases little puffs of smoke and shit.

    Thought I'd ask on here if anyone else has the same problem, and what they found solved it.

    Cheers.

    I kill 'em with my visor every time I ride... I reckon trips to Hamilton and back and the like could just about set genocide records...

    We use an ecomist in the kitchen, bloody good, only 1 or 2 flies a day.

    Try having a bath :eyepoke: or get rid of the corpse, they attract flies ya know

    There's some long-term insect stuff that we sprayed all around the outside of the house, particularly around windows and doors. That helped a lot. I think it was called 'Ripcord'. Got it from Mitre10 or like that there. That stuff they advertise on TV might be good too (Mortein Professional?)
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    I like to slam my bike into them at 250kph. Seems to work, and the aerodynamics of the bike at that speed means that they get sucked into the big vent in the front of the bike. It then increases the power output from their tiny bodies..
    Makes a hell of a mess around the house tho

    Whats the last thing that goes through a bugs mind when it hits the visor....


























    Its Arse.





    (I had to say it)
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    bug zapper... "Electroblitz"

    Hang it outside for a couple (or 7) days and listen to the little dears flying gleefully into the 5,000 Volt landing pad.

    kzzzzzzZZZZAPPP!

    Lovely things they are and they get rid of the breeding pairs... for miles around. Your neighbours will love you for it

    Contamination Control in Auckland can sell them - dunno who else does.
