feedmegin posted:Fly problem We've had problems with flies for a while now. I've found a trap on Amazon that's basically a bottle filled with bait. You mix the bait powder with water, screw the top on and all flies within a 10 metre radius will make a beeline for it and promptly drown themselves in the concoction. The resulting mess is incredibly disgusting and foul so you have to be careful not to spill that poo poo on anything you value.

You can build something pretty much identical to this with a 2l pepsi bottle and some sugar water. Just cut the top off the bottle, invert it, and jam it back into what's left of the bottle. Fill the base with something sugary. Works great on wasps, too.

Bobby Deluxe posted:Just give virgin media a call. That's a really weird story and the lady doesn't come out of this well. There was already a TV box where the one in the photo is, however it was a little smaller and wasn't an issue as there was no drive way there before, just a wall. The wall has been taken away and a lovely driveway put in but it appears no one thought to ask the council for permission for a dropped curb, or the utilities companies to move the box. So virgin come out and replace the box as they are allowed to do and shed gone sobbing to the papers. I have questions for the builders that made the driveway without putting a dropped curb in or telling her the box isn't going to move anytime soon.

It's already attracted a shitload of flies, but it doesnt seem to be reducing the numbers floating around my living room any. I guess I'll give it some time. Also as I typed this message a moth flew into my face, so time to go to bed

It’s such a weird framing of the story when it’s obviously her fault for converting her garden into a driveway when the was a cable box blocking it. Also note how in the story she goes on and on about how it’s ruining the value of her house, pretty sure she only did it because she wanted to sell and thought a parking space would add to the value so gently caress her, she deserves what she gets

I actually invested in made-to-measure fly screens fitted with midge-mesh this summer after last year. I live very close to the river, and was absolutely plagued with midges last summer - one night I went to my bedroom having forgotten to shut the window and left the light on and there were literally thousands of the blighters swarming over my bed (central light right over it). I had to get the vacuum out at 2am to suck the f*krs up. I could have paid a lot less for a kit and done them myself but I am the world's worst DIYer and I thought if I get a kit and have to pay someone to put it together, I might as well get the made to measures done. It's special midge-mesh not just flies and fits all round the frame with magnetic tape so they can't sneak in the sides. They lift on and off with a bit of a tug. And what's more they seem to have stopped my 2 rooms boiling up in the last week! I can leave the windows slightly ajar 24/7 on the outermost socket for the handle to turn into and every morning when I see the hundreds of midges trapped behind them I am delighted with my investment.

Inexplicable Humblebrag posted:what trap is this? i, too, am pestered by flies in the kitchen "The Buzz" fly trap. It can potentially get expensive as the bait refills are like £1.50 per sachet and they can last as little as a week if there are a lot of flies. If you decant the liquid when you empty the trap, you can use that mixture of rotting fly guts instead and it works just as well  There's another version which is a plastic bag (Red Top Fly Trap) which is supposed to be good for an entire season but the reports are the smell coming out of it is quite spectacular. There is still the odd fly in the house but nothing like July last year when I spent 2 hours on a weekend methodically murdering 20+ flies that had come in.

Won't the sugar water attract stuff like bees as well? I don't fancy collateral damage.

TB Remains the only Labour leader to be electorally successful in the last twenty Years, In the case of Starmer he is the elected leader and should be given the chance to get on with the job .I tend to think its the left who are the dreamers, not the centralist who at least live in the world as it is, Since you strike me as some one who prefers ideological purity rather than actual ability to make practical benefits to peoples lives, -Real person, allowed out in public. Response, from your handsome correspondent, Jonathan Legg Hmm. You seem to believe it. I'm sold, I won't want better I will learn to to love being a serf. You're in the wrong party, pal. Jonathan Legg You're going to force me to Godwin you. I swear to Satan himself ( Hello, Mr Madelson ) I'm done with all this poo poo. Let them be hoist on their own petards.

Virgin have her a quote to move the box which she declined, I assume from when she had the driveway put in. It just screams of trying to pressure the company into moving it.

Bobby Deluxe posted:The interview he did with Frankie Boyle is fascinating because he's clearly trying to do a hardball, 'gotcha' series of questions, but then tries to be all friendly at the end, and Boyle always has an answer for everything because you can't ambush someone who actually knows their poo poo. Watching this now, and Osman really is the blandest most tiresome empty melt, it almost feels like this is his desperate interview pitch, at someone in the Edinburgh Television Festival audience, to become BBC head of light entertainment -and Frankie ruins it for him.
