There was a fly invasion last week from people leaving the door open and probably from the animals still being here and kids leaving their barn boots by the back door unwashed..... These flies have been teaching my dear children some valuable lessons though. I explained to them that when tables and counters don't get wiped down that it attracts flies. This information seems to be finally sinking in. They are keeping up on this sort of thing a little better now.
An amusing thing that happened was my sixteen year old dear son discovered that if you use your nerf gun you can easily kill LOTS of flies. I am not sure I am totally in favor of this as I think his method is to turn off all the lights and wait for them to land on the ceiling and then....pow! He gets them. He rarely misses.
So......if you are looking for a practical use for your nerf gun bearing kids, I just thought I would share that useful information with you and perhaps rid your house of more flies.
Looking like an non-eventful day at the Horners.....phew.

I've found that rubber bands are pretty effective, too...
Wow! That's a great talent.
For my ds's birthday we got him a big zapper, it looks like a tennis racket with wire mesh that electrocutes the flies when they hit the mesh. He's gotten quite good at it and he keeps our fly problem to a minimum :)
Cool. That is a great bday gift!
