Is Fly Paper the greatest invention of all time?

Works well for fruit flies. I've seen regular house flies just swerve around it or land on it and then take off. Maybe I was buying the cheap generic fly paper at the dollar store and not the superior name brand fly paper at the local hardware store.

Steve, I can only imagine your day. Smoking some angel dust, contemplating Loyer for Winston, then staring at fly paper watching flies land on it.

Looking for validation.

See this is what I’m talking about. How is buying a plastic gun, buying salt, loading it with salt, then chasing flies around your house more effective than mounting Fly Paper and letting IT do the job?

Just think of all the exercise you'll get, and it might even help to improve your vision over the long term, not to mention your shooting skills.
Salt also has to be way better for the environment than a bunch of chemical laden sheets of paper.

There is no more long term. I am long term.

There are no flies in Mio. Mio is a fly over (pun intended) to shit hole countries south of the border.

You can swing and miss. You have to chase the fly. Do you really want to carry a fly swatter with you everywhere? Fly guts on the swatter? Now you have to wash it. Then you have fly guts all over the window or wall. Now it’s time to wash the window or wall

So I have to disagree Steve

All of this. Steve just doesn’t get it. The flies just die on the paper. No muss, no fuss. It’s really too bad it didn’t work on Pylon

It's all technique man, I can hit them and they just drop to the floor. Get out the dust buster and suck them up.
