Is Fly Paper the greatest invention of all time?

Stands the test of time. Can’t really argue there’s a better way to kills flies indoors. Works every time. No improvements on the original design.

Looking for validation.

I've had mixed results with fly paper.

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.

Not a complete picture, there's that post I put up this morning about making a shepherd's pie this weekend. Hopefully that can be the leading impression I make.

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.

This. Plus, you have to sweep up a bunch of salt. Fly paper in the garage, and every once in awhile the basement of some grain moths show up.

Chemicals? I’ve always thought fly paper was just gooey wax or more likely glue.

I once walked around a corner and ran into a fully populated fly strip face first. Fun times.

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

by **steveschneider** 2019-12-17, 14:41

What about the fly swatter? Seems like the best tool for the problem.

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

Your fly paper attracts more flies. My fly swatter doesn't attract flies.

My fly swatter > your fly paper

Turtleneck is in Zimbabwe hunting big game for his trophy room. And no, there’s no way he’d eat the meat, cuz it’s murder.
