Fly.....

[EcclesCake]

There is a fly buzzing around in my living room and it is driving me MAD!!!

I've had the patio doors open all day with little arrows pointing towards the exit and it refuses to leave. I have shown the little bugger absolutely no hospitality yet it refuses to leave. It is currently sat on my knee!!!

Any suggestions as to how to get rid of it? That don't involve insecticides or rolled up newspapers........I tried the newspaper approach, epic fail my vase of flowers is no more...... :-(

Are you sure it's not Geoff Goldblum?

[EcclesCake]

Jeff could sit on my lap anytime!

Meanwhile the table lamp has just had a spanking, turns out it was quite dusty.....atishoo!

Hmmmmmmm an illiterate fly, now they pose problems. Could even be that the fly is dyslexic therefore rendering the arrows pointless.
Get a spider Sarah had one going cheap earlier. x

[EcclesCake]

I didn't know spiders went cheep, I thought that was budgies?!?!

The friggin' thing is still buzzing around and my living room is starting to look like a war zone :-(

Breeeaaattthhheee!!

Close the downstairs doors, go to bed, relax and the little bu88er will disappear before the morning.

Aye, it'll disappear down your throat as you sleep!
You need to use gentle wafting motion to coax the beastie into the great outdoors, not use the paper as a cudgel.

the argos catalogue usually works for me....

I have a rolled up magazine that I call a skeeta beater. I cannot use fly killer because of Mic's chest. I do try to coax them out but if they refuse to go I batter them.
