The Elusive Fly
There is just one, but he has been hanging around for several days. I have made no serious attempt to get rid of him because I am by myself right now and the fly is company. My apartment is air conditioned and señor fly will either die a natural death or I will dispatch him post haste. :wah:

Oh goodness, you sound just like my husband Bonnie Lonnie.
He becomes quite obsessive about little fly and Incy Wincy spiders.
We live even In winter with a floor to ceiling lounge window open. There's tree's and bushes outside but no, god help some poor little fly popping In for a sneaky nibble on my cheese. He'll arm himself with the fly spray and spend an hour chasing It around the house. Then It disappears and he'll spend another hour with ear c.ocked waiting to hear the bzzz. I throw the spray away in the garbage and he buys another can... so It goes on.
Spiders... we live semi-rural with a field outside the house but again, god help any poor little Arachnid popping In to find some warmth as winter sets In. Once spotted, his life's career becomes removing It from the house and he's chasing It around the house with a pint glass and a piece of cardboard. Me, I'm happy to have them In the house because then he'll get the fly who puked on my cheese.
I remember one time, the smallest, tiniest of money spider was on the wall beside his desk and PC. He kept fretting about It so much so that I ended up saying ' oh for gods sake, just leave It alone, It's not hurting you'.... and his reply was ' It Is, ....It's looking at me funny'..
You men !!!!

I keep getting plagued with fruit flies / midges. Is there nowhere those little sods can't get to? I even find them in the fridge. They're too small for the electric fly zapper to have any effect, and similarly fly spray has no effect on them either.
They're no real harm - just so flippin' annoying!!
