What's the deal with flies ?

[02ebz06]

We have very few flies normally.
But when I fired up the new smoker yesterday they showed up.
No food cooking, just doing the burn-in.
They hung around until today.
Is it in their DNA, "where's there's smoke, there's food". Haha

Not a great picture, and this isn't all of them.

I hate flies so much

 

[fltsfshr]

Me too. We have lots of little lizards here. They spend a lot of time stalking flies.

I have what seems like hundreds (exaggerated) always sitting on my smoker when its covered. Not even using it, they just perch there.

In nature, fire means death....and death brings flies. Think of how many animals are killed by wild fire.......

Bad here too. Green biting flys, and gnats. Hay and alfalfa fields around us, the cows are about a mile away.

When we lived in S, FL the bees would come out when I fired up some smoke.

There seems to be more here, too.

I wouldn't use it in the house, but some cheap fun while you cook:

I've seen that, told my sons I want one for Christmas. Haha

Clean pennies in a Mason jar . A couple inches in the bottom . Cover with water and set it in the sun .

I use the Bug assault in the house. Completely harmless.

I use the Bug assault in the house. Completely harmless.

Oh yeah, the gun is harmless, but I don't want salt all over the place

Not so much flies here as it is the gnats!!! You step out side and they swarm....Its almost like a biblical plague!

There are no flies on my a$$.

Table salt works best, nice tight pattern.
Oh, the laser sight is the bee's knees.

This is the best way to get rid of them outdoors. Just remember to get refills.

 

[Chris_in_SoCal]

I would rather cleanup a little bit of salt than have dirty flies landing on my food.

I’ll take that with a grain of salt.

Same. I pulled over to take a leak last night driving home and left the truck door open. When I got back in it - every gnat in SC was on my navigation screen. Thousands. Maybe millions.

I opened all 4 windows, the slider in the back, and the moonroof to blow them all out. Got all of them but about 100........................................................

 

[JIMSMOKES]

But wait! You can even use it to season your cooks. Order two now and only pay shipping for one.

 

[senorsmokey]

Yeah load it with salt, pepper and garlic and you won’t have to get your hands messy.

I live on a farm. You'd think they could find plenty of cow pies or dead stuff to keep them occupied, but no, they flock to my barn, which has no livestock in it, just me and the dogs.
