Fly Wars
There must be a hundred flies in there. Jesus Christ, I didn't even know we had that many flies in the neighborhood! Totally gross.
I put in the nasty-smelling yeast bait that's been fermenting in a plastic gallon milk jug for the past week and they went NUTS this morning. They must have called up every relative for miles around to come and check out the new vile smelling brew in the Baker/Hamilton backyard.
I can't even find any flies in the chicken run now. I think they are *all* in the trap.
DIE SUCKERS! YES!
I am fighting this battle on another front too...I put the maggot-hunting gnat larvae in the soil around the run the other night (after Henrietta went to bed, so she wouldn't immediately dig them up and eat them).
So not only am I trapping every adult fly in a mile radius, I am going after their kids too.
Victory is mine, I can smell it.

I LOVE IT! The Bataan Death March of Flies. Auschwitz for FLIES! No love lost on those dirty things . . . birds can eat bees and stuff. Do flies serve any purpose? I know about the food chain, and needing bugs and all that, but do we need flies?
