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 say that if you see one on your food, throw your food away.

They also look horrible - little black warts with dry crispy wings: yuck.

They are very clever at evading a splat, and you can entertain yourself for a good five minutes hunting them down. They also camoflauge well, and that makes them even harder to get. Elastic bands are proven to be one of the best murder weapons for a fly, and it takes some skill to take them down with one of them.


All in all, there is nothing likable about the housefly. It's a pest and pests deserve to die. Because they are so elusive, they're impossible to herd out of the door or window, and so they become my target.

Summary: horrible!
