Super Fly
Seems we have the only fly in the world that is able to survive for day upon day and is completely oblivious to the best spray in the world too. My ability to swat it are useless too. Tonight it was walking around the spray can like a challenge to me. Any suggestions most welcome.

Re: Super Fly
this made me laugh.
The flys in my house are immune to everything. I spray them they go crazy. But never die. Infact it just makes it more difficult to hit them with the tea towel.

Re: Super Fly
We've got one of those fly zappers. It looks a bit like a lantern, but has a blue-white glowing tube in it and a cage which is electrified. I used to enjoy watching the industrial sized one in our local chippy in the UK. Anyway, the flies have either died on it or have gone away! There are still quite a lot outside - eating a meal outside is something of a pain due to flies.

Just back from a few days in Raglan. Late last week I managed to finish 'Super Fly' off with a quick 'right-hander' and a copy of the daily Rotorua paper. Thanks for all your support!
