oh right one final note of the house pest saga.

I would like to emphasize that my family isn't currently having problems with spiders and roaches invading the house. Genuinely haven't seen a roach in the house in at least two months, and a spider... think last time I saw a spider large enough to be scary was like a year ago, maybe? Though I rarely see tiny ones, even.

My house isn't infested with anything. HOWEVER. The mosquitoes and house flies are getting real goddamn annoying and seem to have a knack of flying into the house whenever we open the door to let my dog out into the backyard. Even then, I'm not living in a mosquitoey haze as I type this out.

"Ani why are you clarifying this" I dunno just felt the need to.

#out of queue #ani rambles #house pest saga #that being said one of my favorite ways to kill flies is by waiting for them to get trapped between the blinds and the window and then just #BANG BANG BANG trying to smush em on the blinds #my mom hates it though because the blinds are white but yknow what I hate more? FUCKIN HOUSEFLIES #second favorite activity is trying to kill them by slinging around a dish rag #i feel like indiana jones crackin his whip at his enemies smackin it around on the counters #do I miss most of the time? yeah. all the more satisfying when you finally get the motherfuckers #also while im rambling in the tags two years back the house flies got REALLY BAD outside for no clear reason #so we put up one of those like. Sticky traps for flies outside. and it worked great!#until we accidentally caught a gulf fritillary on it #(pretend I know how to spell)#my mom saved it but she made a joke about me planting flowers to lure butterflies to a sticky tubed death and i felt bad #so we stopped using the sticky tubes #but those fuckin 'put thesebags up to trap flies' bags work fuckin wonders #they smell rank though
