    Default How long do flies take to die??

    I have a fucking fly in my bedroom that has been here for 2 days now. It is driving me fucking crazy. I'm about to fucking name it and keep it as a pet. It has a personality, I swear. I'll try to swat it and then he'll come back and buzz around my head and then I'll try to swat him again and he'll fly away and zoo back around my head again... ughghghg.

    I wish I had a freaking cat. I have done everything- I've left my windows open (he got in through a hole in the screen), I've left my door open and my porch door open... but no. He likes my room. He likes to land on my face while I'm sleeping at night. he likes to crawl around my bed. He likes to fly around my head. UGHGHG

    HOW LONG UNTIL HE DIES???????

    The average lifespan of the house fly is 10 to 25 days.

    depending on if they have food or not.

    ^I'm vegan..I know it's a living thing and in MOST cases I would try and catch it and set it free... but the thing is stupid. I have been TRYING to catch it, shoo it out the door, shoo it out the window for the last two days. It is determined to stay in my room....so I guess it's not that stupid.

    Spaz is a good name

    i dont think he has any food... what do flies eat?

    Poop in a bowl, add sugar and give to the fly? Lol....

    and contrary to the popular quote, vinegar DOES attract flies.

    That is TOO LONG! I've had the same issue, but when I'm looking for it to help it out a window, he's disappeared!

    I'm AWSOME at baseball....so my solution is usually to get a nice stiff magazine/folder/newspaper and sit down on my bed. I wait for the fly to come in my direction, then I slap it as hard as I can as if I'm hitting a pitch. Then I grab a papertowel, pick it up off the floor and flush it. Although, it'll only work if you're good at that sort of thing. I also catch them with my hand when they fly by and I'm not prepared. Just reach up and snatch it out of the air, then toss it out the window.

    A woman walked into the kitchen to find her husband stalking around with a fly swatter.

    "What are you doing?" she asked.

    "Hunting flies," he responded.

    "Oh, I see. Killing any?" she asked.

    "Yep, five so far. 3 males and 2 females," he replied.

    Intrigued, she asked, "How can you tell the difference?"

    "3 were on a beer can, and 2 were on the phone," he responded.

    keira - they're attracted to light. You can lure a fly into another room by turning off all the lights except for the room you want to get the fly into, eventually the fly will go in, then close the door. But, do you notice how during the day and especially as it gets darker if you don't have lights on, they'll be at the window frequently? When you see the fly near the window, open it a bit and he may find his way out. Especially when it starts getting dusky, turn off all your lights, pull the curtain, the fly should go to the window - open it and he should find his way out. If you work at it tomorrow, I'll bet you can get the little guy out

    I was wondering this too! We actually have one or two that keep buzzing around the dressing room at work and it's driving me nuts.
