have a laugh on me !

[Dee Sa]

Yesterday I bought old fashioned flypapers to put in the bedroom as I did not want to spray chemicals in the room at night, it was late when I went to bed and couldnt very well climb on the bed and attach it to the lamp shade so I attached on my side of the bed dangling over the side table, went to get something out of my bedside drawer today and forgot and this extremely sticky fly paper [ must be a modern version of the old ones] got stuck to my hair big time, took me ages to pull it off hair came out by the roots and then my hair was covered in a sticky film had to try and put a brush through the lot and then wash my hair, boy did the flies laugh.

[Euphemia]

[ummmm]

Did they catch any flies?

[emmie]

On advice from nice ABers i put one up in the hall, no flies stuck to it, but lots of fluff off the trees, flies still come in, but its raid at the ready im afraid.

and i couldn't get the residue off my hands, had to use cif, nice lemon smell though,

[Dee Sa]

thank god I am not the only wally then !
only one fly so far but wait till the nights get hotter !we used to have a cat Sally Sa and she could jump up and catch flies and kill them all in one swoop, sadly she passed on many moons ago and our present cat Violet Elizabeth Bott has only two teeth left and cant do tricks.

[mccfluff]

i lend you murph, she doesn't ever catch them just charges round like a loon annoying the *** out of me

not selling this very well am i....

[emmie]

my cat used to do that, catch them, i didn't care for it much, his sort of chewing motion used to make me feel queasy.

[craft1948]

My westie tries to catch them............this is both funny and destructive.

I have done the same with sticky tree wound "paint" called Arbrex and also the sticky tape that wraps round the trunk to prevent crawling insects from damaging fruitlets. I have also done the same with those sticky fly things in my loft and it made everyone laugh when I explained but at the time I was exasperated as nothing would get it off even shampoo. I think it needs paint stripper.
