| 1183719 | 2011-03-06 01:43:00 | Before Mortein, Raid, etc. there was Flit, and before aerosol spray cans there was the Flit Gun :clap | Terry Porritt (14) | ||

The program was initially highly successful, eliminating the disease in "Taiwan, much of the Caribbean, the Balkans, parts of northern Africa, the northern region of Australia, and a large swath of the South Pacific"[19] and dramatically reducing mortality in Sri Lanka and India" en.wikipedia.org Whole areas were blanketed with DDT to kill off the mozzies. |

I thought it wasn't killing normal house flies anymore as they seemed to be immune, but found that it was, it just took much much longer. We only get four or five flies a day in the house anyway, even with the doors and windows open. We leave nothing around for them to feed on or drink and I think we've been blacklisted in their "Desirable Homes" directory now. Our neighbours have a dog and their house is full of them. They use flystrips too, but they are gross and neither MrsT nor I could never have them. :yuck: Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 1183727 | 2011-03-06 21:28:00 | SWMBO decided to ignore the aesthetics of long sticky dangly things in the lounge (she's been ignoring mine for years now ;)), and went into Hammer Hardware this morning to get some of Wainui's fly strip wotsits. The bad news is they've sold out - the good news is we got the last packet! Let battle commence!! :angry |
