My gandma taught me this trick - Just hang a plastic ziplock bag full of water in the doorway or window that you want to leave open and they wont come in. Their big eyeballs dont like the killer reflections they get from the water. ![[image loading]](http://i32.tinypic.com/dcsdp3.jpg) Also, that huge mosquito earlier in this thread is a MALE mosquito. Males don't bite and instead eat fruit juices. It's the tiny females that you have to worry about.
That sounds awesome... would have been nice back when I first moved into the house and there was a HUGE fly problem (it was a model home and for some reason the porta-potty ended up in our house when the development was under construction= fly heaven)...

Yes. I would rather have an infestation of flies than mosqitoes anytime of the day. These bastards are so persistent to get on you...
I do not understand why flies should be a nuisance to you unless your home is full of dead rotting animals or trash laying around...

This is my weapon
and its so easy to use even a 11 month old baby could pull it off(with supervision).

I hate those bastards. One time my kitchen started to smell rather horrible. After a little investigation, I discovered a fly had decided a bag of potatoes that was left in the cupboard would be the perfect place to lay its eggs. I found the maggots had almost fully matured and had eaten through half the potatoes, with their gooey excrement filling the bottom quarter of the bag and dripping out. It was disgusting.

I don't think I caught anyone else saying this, so I'd like to point out that you wrote "Housefiles" instead of "Houseflies", so I was utterly confused when I came upon a thread dealing with flies.
Not that I knew what you mean by "Housefiles" either, though 
I'm thankful my house doesn't really have any pest problems at all. ^^

Crane fly infestation? I rarely see them but isn't a good idea to keep some around to take care of mosquitoes?

The first time I used it, I was startled by the huge electric shock. We have a lot of moths here, it practically fried it. :D

I don't think flies eat toaster crumbs but you should clean them anyway.
Shauni don't kill crane flies they are harmless ;(
House flies are not even that annoying anyway compared to mosquitoes, March flies or bush flies (ones that try to drink your saliva, eye juice, crawl up your nose and in your ears and you get like 10 of them all hovering around your face when you go into the bush... they aren't even intimidated by swatting them they just come straight back and is why we have those hats with corks dangling from them).

combined with the 90% humidity. Nothing gets worse.
I was once in Las Vegas and the temp. gauge read 118, went outside and yeah it was fucking hot, but it was a nice hot, no drowning in your own sweat.

Dilute with water and one good spray will kill a motherfucker in about 2 minutes. Don't ask me how, it just works is all I can say.
