We just don't have a fly problem.<br /><br />Day before yesterday, we suddenly had dozens. Maybe a hundred. Eeeek!<br /><br />The boyfiend vacuumed up a lot of them and released them into the wild, but they were still going strong today.<br /><br />So we spent a good chunk of the day cleaning the kitchen, putting away food and eating utensils, and preparing to nuke the things with a flying-insect mist tomorrow while I'm at work.<br /><br />No, I don't like using poisons. The alternatives were just too gross for me to contemplate. Please don't judge.<br /><br />Bleah. The shame and revulsion and EEK! are so strong.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=serene&ditemid=1262614" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://serene.dreamwidth.org/1262614.html gross so gross yuck grody ick totally gross!
