| 316841 | 2005-01-22 03:55:00 | OK, I purchased a new LCD screen but unlike my old CRT the flies are drawn to it like...well- flies! It's almost as annoying as that fly in the web page advert a while back and when they've gone I keep thinking I've got dead pixels. I guess the flies avoided the old CRT because of the radiation beaming out at to bathe the operator in it's 'warm' glow :dogeye: |

| 316844 | 2005-01-22 04:12:00 | Ah yes, good advice. I would like to 'close the door on this reality, but need to keep the windows open (it is finally summer here!) | Shortcircuit (1666) | ||

Thanks GF, I was hoping that my dog pooing outside in the yard would have the same effect, but no go :groan: Of course my post is half in jest, however I am intrigued about why the blighters make a 'bee line' for my monitor. |

| 316847 | 2005-01-22 04:58:00 | I haven't noticed any flies attracted to my LCD. Maybe it depends on the brand? Or maybe there's something in a cleaner that was used on the screen? If they're still attracted to it while it's turned off you know it's nothing to do with the brightness of the display or anything like that... |

I am a buddhist, so would have to be nice to them while killing, may preclude splattering them from here to there :groan: Do have pidgeons around the place, would be happy to 'bait' one of them . Also have no problems sourcing manure according to the lawnmower guy (see above post re doggy) |

| 316850 | 2005-01-22 07:13:00 | Its summertime (finally). Crank up a nice powerful desktop fan (external =P) and blow them all away. Cooling and fly protection in one hit, unless they have a reeeeally good grip on that monitor. Could also be the perfect excuse to keep that desk clean, lol. |
