Fruit Flies

Is anybody else having problems with these little bastards? Or have we just got a very fruity house?

    If I remember right it's down to modern agriculture and the much lower number of wild flowers. Saw a programme on it earlier this year and how serious the problem is. I actually went out and bought a

    Had swallows nesting on the side of my house for many years, they fucked off when Bolton got relegated out of the Prem.

Loads at work. None at home though, which may be related to what appears to be a minor infestation of fucking massive spiders.

I'd rather have the spiders if I'm honest! They're too small to swat as well. I'm blaming global warming and bi weekly refuse disposal.

I'm sure Trump is worthy of a mention.

Spiders over flies any day

 

Mainly because the spiders sort the flies out

loads of them..

 

i blame shit cheap fruit from aldi

Same here. I blame food waste collections being every 2 weeks.

Berry Knight is still a cunt it seems.

A spider the size of an NFL linebacker has just lolloped clumsily across the living room floor.

 

It's currently eyeballing me from under the booze cabinet and I think it's going to drink my bourbon before eating all my cheese.

 

A long Autumn ahead for arachnophobes I think

Put a dog turd atop a trilby and wear it (to prevent fruit flies feeding on eyes etc.)

 

If all the dogs in your vicinity are eggbound then substitute the turd for a Plumrose hotdog.

Flies over spiders. Scary cunts make me go weird

We get fruit flies late summer every year.

Them black caddies for food waste attract them. Soft fruits seem to be particularly attractive.

 

Was in the garden yesterday when the lad shouted and screamed, thought he was being attacked or something. It was a medium sized spider on his leg!

Already seen some huge ones- one in the bedroom was nearly big enough to close the door.

Watched a wasp and spider fighting yesterday as the wasp was half trapped in the spiders web.

Absolutely fascinating.

Is the correct answer every time

Who won?

The horse sized duck.

Coincidentally, we have things down here called Spider wasps. Bright orange markings and they are mean, nasty fuckers. I saw one towing a locust like insect about four times the size of itself down the hole into its underground nest last year.

Do them fuckers sting as well?!

Spider wasps.

 

Fuck sake

I read summat the other day that said that there's not as many insects around this year as drivers are noticing that they are not splatting as many on their windscreens. Have to say that's true. Normally I have to get the Brillo pad out a few times to properly clean my windscreen over the summer. Not once this year

 

The spiders though.......fuck me....one sat and joined us for tea last night....moaned like a bitch about the lack of flies....asked for mustard on his steak

 

Seriously though the spiders are fucking huge this year 

Spider wasps.

 

Fuck sake

I seriously hope that this does not include bees or we are all fucked.

I too have noticed that there are no wasps. Certainly round here. I believe there's plenty down south, But I've seen just one, which I captured and chucked back outside.

 

To be fair don't miss them, as they're gits, but we need them for control of other pests. Unless the spiders can do that role.

It does.

 

We probably are.

Who won?

The wasp managed to escape and flew off.

It does.

 

We probably are.

 

 

Well that is a major worry then.

 

Is it being blamed on global warming, air quality or other environmental factors?

 

Whichever, this is seriously bad.
