Pesky Flies

I Hate Flies

They are the dirtiest creatures on the face of this earth. Spiders are the most disgusting, but I absolutely hate flies. Especially when they are in our house. I am not sure how they get in the house. I know some do fly in when the door opens. They gross me out and I hate them with a passion. I don't know if it’s true or not. I have heard that every time a fly lands it poops. I haven’t googled it yet. The very thought of it makes my stomach curdle. I’ve seen them land on the granite countertop. Thank God we have a butter dish with a lid. The butter sits on the countertop as well. 

Where Did They Come From

Today when I walked into the kitchen, I noticed an abundance of flies in the window in the kitchen. I got the fly swatter and was swatting them. There were so many. I yelled at Gary to come and look. Gary looked at the front door and there were flies there also. I went to the side door and sure enough flies all over. This is the second time this has happened. The first time was worse than this time. I kept going from door to door to window. Every time I made the circle there were flies. This happened like five or six times. Their numbers were dwindling but they still magically appeared out of nowhere.

They Were Everywhere

I looked in our bedroom and there were also flies there. I got out the can of raid. Enough was enough. I sprayed the hell out of the windows and the doors. Then went down into the bedroom and did the same with the window there and the patio door. What the heck, it was like an invasion. It sickened me and I was delighted when I killed them with the raid. 

They are Dead

After a while Gary said there are dead flies all over the floor. I got my Shark handheld and vacuumed them all up. It was immensely satisfying seeing them all dead. 

The question I have is where did they come from and how did they all get in the house? Is it because it was rainy in the morning? Do rain and flies go together? I have no idea, I know when it’s humid they bite. That in itself is disgusting too. 

I just googled, do flies poop when they land? Google assured me they did. And they do often. Which turns my stomach even more. Apparently, they also vomit if they think they’ve found what looks like a meal. Like roadkill or something equally tasty.

Gross Me Out

I recall sitting out on our deck one summer eating a piece of peanut butter toast. I looked down and there was a fly on my toast. To say I was done with the toast is not fitting for what actually transpired. I was so grossed out by the entire ordeal I didn’t eat peanut butter toast for over a year. I am back to eating it but if I see a fly land on my toast once more I’ll be off toast again. Just thinking about it makes me want to hurl.

Thank God the lifespan of a fly is 15 to 35 days. What purpose they serve is beyond my scope of understanding. If I see one in the house, it’s dead. There is no second guessing, no trying to trap it and take it outside. No, there’s murder and I’m all here for it. I revel with glee when I kill one.

Don’t come to our house you dirty bastards. You won’t get out alive.

Let that sink in.
