Change Antifreeze & brake fluid every 2 years - Would have saved me boiling an engine going up a skifield, and running out of brakes on the way down!

Dont scalp the lawns - long grass, well 50mm long supresses the weeds nicely

Fertilize the lawns - keeps grass happy and weeds down.

Spider Spray the house - keeps the buggers away for 2-3yrs...

To stop them crawling across your face when you're having a siesta in your favourite hammock?

I thought it was too cold down there for flies anyway, a bit like planes when their wings ice up on take off :D

................and seriously -- if you have a burglar alarm with sensor remotes -- to stop them crawling over the face and setting it off !! :eek:

Mind you, spraying around the sensors with fly spray every couple of months is sufficient. :thumbs:

Its summer now.
There are huge giant fat ones.
One of my spiders in the kitchen was sucking the innards out of one just this afternoon. I know which beast I'd rather have....

494406 2006-10-26 08:43:00 Damn flies again, I hope the spider will eat them all up for me again but flies population is growing faster than I thought.
:p Spiders are good especially eating up some damn flies. But I usually hate seeing spiders in Winter.

We don't know how lucky we are, Pedalslammer !! Mrs Misty and I were in Adelaide/Melbourne last December and flies were everywhere, trying to get in your mouth or eyes !! :xmouth: We really got to become practiced in "the Aussie wave" :groan:
We have been in Australia many times and have just been lucky previously not to have experienced the flies, even in Cairns.
