Walk Softly…

The weather has been beautiful the last few weeks as Summer gives way to Autumn, but cool weather means open windows and open windows mean more flies. At least the oppressive heat of summer leaves our homes, offices, and cars hermetically sealed against the elements. But here in Kansas we get a few weeks of nice weather in the Spring and a few more here in the Fall and that leaves us vulnerable to nasty little pests.

So how do you banish these filthy harbingers of death and pestilence? Simply carry around a plastic flyswatter, the crucifix and garlic necklace of fly repellent. As long as I am physically carrying a flyswatter, twirling it around my finger, there are no flies to be seen. As soon as it set it down out of reach, I have flies buzzing right in my face.
