My new favorite way to kill flies.
    #6011494 - 08/30/06 11:59 AM (17 years, 6 months ago)



3 words: Mapp Gas Torch

I bought the torch for some chemisty experiemnts I was doing that required a higher temp than an alcohol burner can provide. Well, that and Mapp Gass makes an excellent propellant for a potato cannon.

For some reason the files around here this summer are ridiculous. I go outside to smoke a cigarette and I'll have at least 3 flies trying to land on me at any given time. Flies are disgusting, and I hate them landing on me. I brought the torch out the other day. Pointed at a fly and clicked it on... That fly was in his own little 5301 °F hell for about a tenth of a second. Fuckers don't bother you after that :wink: They never saw it coming. Much easier than trying to swat the things.

Work well for all nuisance bugs. Give it a try :smile:

Word of caution: Don't use the torch to kill flies that land on you :wink:

If the flame gets hot enough to scorch treated wood within half a second, imagine what it'd do to your skin/clothes. Ack. That could be messy.

As a kid, I use to catch the flies against the window screen and stick needles through them and watch them try to fly. I was bored.

Cool them down. (They "fall asleep".)

Then glue them to stuff!

It is hilarious..

More flies, more fun! :p

Even as adult! :wink::thumbup:

I have a personal vendetta against houseflys.
I don't kill any other bugs but these things piss me off.

Every other day i wake up to one landing on me, everytime a shoo it away it's back again within a minute trying to land on my head.
Sometimes the fuckers actually fly into my ear then buzz around.
Stresses me out. I got in a sleepy morning rage, jumped up to swat this thing then pulled my back out swinging for it,, :crankey: .

If there not pissing me off trying to land in my fecking ear they're sat on the wall waiting for me to die.

Get a mapp gas torch then. Just be careful with it, don't burn down the house.

If you have issues with flies inside, you can easily make a trap out of a glass and a paper funnel.

As far as bugs go: flies and roaches. I hate them. I kill every one I see. They truly are disgusting insects.

I always practice my rubber band shooting skill on the ones in my house. I can actually hit them at a pretty fair distance

I hate flies with a passion. Those little fuckers. I'll be sleeping and they'll land on my face all morning. Get up all pissed off and see three or four flying around, and spend half the day trying to swat them. It's truly satisfying when they go splat. I haven't had any for a week or two. Hope I killed them all off.

Yeah... I shower plenty. I just moved into a new (old) place and there are bugs all over the place. Shittons of spiders.

computer duster can kill them pretty well, in the opposite way.

If you turn the can upside-down, it shoots out the liquid, which then almost instantly evaporates and freezes whatever you sprayed it at.

You should have seen the black widow that I encased in ice... it was pretty badass.

it didn't know how the fuck to respond at first... and then it was just frozen to death.

That sounds so much fun i would probably burn my house down.I prefer fly papers, but you dont want to get entangled in one,i seen that happen once to a wanna be hippie who was trying to release them,i had just walked back in the room and he had it wrapped round his head, standing on my bed, throwing little sticky blobs in the air, crying out fly,fly,fly away little flies,my dads standing right beside me and just said, whos the nut. I guess nothing surprised him by then.lol

Flies eyesight works on movement. If you move real slow with a rolled up newspaper until your an inch or so above them they are as good as dead  :wink:

Get good at snatching flies out of the air. If you can catch one, try not to crush it right away. Walk up to a table or wall or something and throw it at the table/wall pretty hard. it won't kill it, but it will stun it. While it is stunned for a few seconds, pull off just one (1) wing. Watching flies flop around and fly in circles is hilarious.
