With one grown and two more well on the way, I can assure you, he will survive. You, on the other hand, may not.<br /><br />My boys make a game of shooting flies with rubber bands. They get different scores based on the size and speed of the fly.

Many weeks when I was doubting not only our ability to remain frugal and get anywhere with it--especially less in debt which I still can't say has been a, um, wild success--your comments over at Extreme Frugality saved my sanity, warmed my heart and squashed the naysayers (who will remain nameless merely to deny them any more light of dayHodding Carternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9910550.post-42760985622946954022009-09-18T08:42:35.400-07:002009-09-18T08:42:35.400-07:00Gross, but charming.

Then, get yourself to what passes for an old timey hardware store or a super WallyWorld and buy some flypaper. Really, really cheap and non-toxic way to cut the fly population wayyyyyy down.

He probably did it just to watch the assorted expressions flash across your face. <br /><br />Also gross - DH left a bottle of red wine open on the counter overnight and the next day, poured himself a glass of wine and got about a bazillion inebriated fruit flies instead.

I'm pretty sure that would've been a deal-breaker come prom time. The Captain will survive. Besides, you know yourself there are worse things he could put in his mouth.

Just fill a container with an inch of apple cider vinegar, drop a few drops of dish washing liquid in and stir. Leave it in the kitchen. The fruit flies are attracted to the vinegar scent but the soap coats their little bodies or something and they drown in it.

I love your stories about Captain Adventure the most.<br /><br />I recently heard that hanging a bag of water deters flies... some research says yes and some says no. If you Google for water bags for flies you will have plenty to read.
