House Fly

It's the heat of summer and you are welcoming the fact that you can swing open the doors and windows without being frozen and within minutes of doing this you hear 'BUUUZZZZZZZZZZZ'. You look around and fear that it might be a bloody great bee because the sound is so loud but then you realize it is a harmless housefly........or is it harmless? Well I can tell you that they eat in way that will make you sick (no pun intended!),. They spit on their food, then eat it, then sick it up again and then eat it again. So next time a fly briefly lands on your plate then don't carry on eating!!!! They land on poo and eat the stuff before flying around your ...  Read the complete review

I am not sure I would class a housefly as a pet and why they are really one here to be honest but I hate them so much and have wrote that much recently I thought I would share my hate of flies! Who does not hate flies! They buzz around in your face, land on your food and are so annoying! Flies are one of the few living things I will happily kill along with gnats and mosquitoes! I think the main problem with flies is that they land on poo and then come up to you and try and have your food. No thanks! So flies are very unhygienic so I don`t like them flying around, buzzing annoyingly in my face! They always seem to find you when you are having ...  Read the complete review

The housefly is the scourge of our nation. Whenever we get a bit of sun and decide to open the window or door, in they come. They annoy me more because of the noise they make -that buzzing that drives you mad. I have to say that I will kill flies quite happily. A bee or moth or spider I will throw out of the window, but a fly is always going to prompt me to roll up a newspaper. Why? I honestly don't know - these guys have a bad rap, but they deserve it to be fair don't they? Here's what I know - they feed on poo, then land on your food. They are unhygienic, so they have to die. They feed by regurgitating on something then sucking it up, so I would ...  Read the complete review

I can't believe there's a category for house flies, but as I seem to be swatting one of these ugly things away every 5 minutes lately, I thought I'd vent my annoyance of them! House flies are the most common of the pesky things that fly around your home, especially in the warmer months. In fact, I don't think I ever notice any in winter. Annoying and dirty, these flies are on my list of pet hates. House flies are under 1cm long, and I believe tend to have red eyes, are grey in colour with a yellowish underside, and are somewhat hairy. Lovely. Needless to say, they wont be winning any beauty contests. They tend to spend the majority of ...  Read the complete review

I'm not often provoked to write a review, but, for some strange reason, I have spent the odd minute here or there pondering this curious little insect. Before I went to Switzerland about 8 years ago, I hadn't given them a thought. I was sat there, in the Alps, in the bar I was working in, freezing cold in the middle of January, when a fly landed on the table next to me. I watched it, curious, before slowly moving my finger towards it. It did nothing. Puzzled, I moved even closer, again slowly, until I was a mere inch or so away. It did nothing. In fact, it took me to need to give it a little shove before it moved, and even then it seemed more like it was to ...  Read the complete review
