Advantages: More than acceptable kill factor to most UK fly species and wasps. (Can't qualify K-F' on Eurowasp!)

Disadvantages: A manifest of soft bodied flies resistant to Tetramethrin and Phenothrin base toxins in product.

I am a householder based in London U.K. and have always found this product more than efficacious at dealing with all the common airborne's that the insect world attempts to share with us.
I have, only in the last 12 months, encountered a migration and foothold scenario of a small, about 1.3MM to cubed mass and small twin winged at approximately 0.70MM area per wing in ovate configuration. It is not an Aphidae and the pestilence rapidly colonises foothold at stable temperatures of around 10'c as I monitored during the colder periods adjusting ambient to external temperatures to see what their cycle triggers were at Celsius vector analysis and as a control factor to the foothold.

I have atomised other harsh alkaloids, disinfectants and other domestic brands, all bally ineffective as a significant number survive even at saturation thresholds where I emptied an entire canister in the kitchen when my heating had been running stable at environ ambience at 13'C for a fortnight and their numbers were fast approaching 1500 approximately. After leaving the environ closed for eight hours I analysed at accurate guesstimate that survival withstood kill factor at %30 and a booster had zero effect as survivors of the foothold seemed to either have resistance gene'd into their R.N.A. factors or the are mutagenic to R.N.A. adaptation.

This is extremely infuriating, being a Neopagan, I have utmost respect for life and will happily co-exist with our household bugs. To a point that is, I am no Buddhist and so intend to atomise the "Malathion" insecticide at significant potency and this will over kill the foothold.

I found these insects to be profoundly invasive to any and all packaged foodstuffs that had been folded or twisted closed as is usual and the younger emergent's have a seeming ability to fold the thorax and abdominal mass and notably able to alter the prothoraxic footprint to it’s absolute minimum footprint almost as if achieving two dimensional width as it also fold it’s wings to the same minimum sideways footprint, to gain breach to foodstuffs and products inside the creases in the folds in plastics. , paper etc.

Shamefully, as I am resistant to flag up my intellect because I am an extremely intellectual weird scientist and so keep myself under the bushel so to speak, I am intrigued from an entomological standpoint and want to study them much closer, but alas I have not a decent microscope. This is something I intend to remedy and as soon as I have my answers on this species before I cross link my findings with formal entomologicals as to accepted academia.

Goddess GAIA guide our paths so the nieve may one day all comprehend polytheist enlightenment for the good of the planet Terra and Homonid Anthro-evolution in a non destructive vector.

Mind you one has some contrition to not imprting certain knowledge but our rules are wrtten.

Good Oestara!
