When summer is around the corner one is sure to find themselves inundated with flies...They are everywhere. It is as if there is a gang of flies hanging right outside your door. Than when you open it they see how many of them can get past you into your house to buzz around and annoy the tar out of everyone. Whatever can one do to successfully rid thier house of these annoying bugs.
Enter Ammon my 6 year old son and the problem is solved. He has come up with many ways to defeat these tiny foes. The obvious solution...fly swatter from store=less than a dollar. Great for swatting flies with the result of guts smeared on walls and windows. Thus far Ammon has mastered the use of this tool. He has gotten so good that he even caught on alive. Somehow the fly got stuck through one of the holes. Ammon came running over to me with the head of the fly on one side and his body and wings buzzing on the opposite side of the swatter. Not even a bruise on the fly. I still have not figured that one out. When the fly swatter is being used by someone else in our family, he uses his bare hands to grab them right out of the air. He has created quite a stir with friends as he shows them all his little flies in a cup that he caught that day. ( oh, by the way, to keep them from flying away, he pulls off thier wings. I hope that does not indicate something worse...LOL) When he gets tired of catching flies and pulling off wings he grabs the vaccuum and turns on the hose and sucks the flies into the canister at top speed.
So, I still have flies in my house, but I have the best fly bounty hunter on the planet. I am afraid though that he is not for hire....
But if we ever stop by your house and you need to get rid of flies..just call on Ammon and he will be happy to help you out.

oh, you can so come over to my house and catch my flies. I guess they are better than the never ending ants. Abby doesn't catch our flies, she had made friends with them. She calls them "cutie" and "girl" and other such things.
