Everyone, please SEND YOUR FROGS!?
Question:I am battling a certain condition that I hope to remedy without additional excessive cost.
I am having to deal with an onslaught of HOUSEFLIES from everywhere... all inside my house! :-o
These (I bet I can count TRILLIONS) common houseflies are becoming such a hinderance indoors by making so much noise (buzzing, etc.) and crawling over everything that I am having to scout through each room inside to limit some of these pests before I enter there.
I am tempting to station a BUG-ZAPPER device far outside my house to attract them away. - I know that this will attract all the frogs from everywhere to enjoy the delicasy.
Everyone is welcome to send your frogs!
I bet I can fatten them up (enough for supper?) If you enjoy Frog legs, BON APETIT!
P.S. I am in the drought-stricken region of the Texas panhandle. - We are enduring a welcomed seasonal set of rainshowers, so NOBODY SCARE AWAY THE RAIN!
*S-h-h-h-h-h-h-h!*
I can practise a Daniel-saan technique with chopsticks.

I just returned from a visit with my family, in central Texas. Everyone there seems to be having the same problem with flies, and flooding. Get some of those fly traps and hang them outside around your house. They do work to cut down on the problem. Don't put them near any frequently opened windows though, they stink.
P.S. I live in AZ, I wish someone would send us some of that rain.
This rain is so wonderful that were having. I live in Oklahoma and we recently ended our 8 year drought because of all this rain. And for the frogs I have lots here. The rain has made a small pond by my house and there are literally thousands of tiny frogs that now inhabit the area. There everywhere. And there are lots of big frogs as well. If you need frogs come to Oklahoma and pick them up.
Charles,
I`m in Amarillo and have seen Nothing like your talking about!
If you`re Really serious abut the number of flies, I would plan a two day getaway, close up the house, centrally locate and set a bomb off in there. BUG bomb that is (:>
Then come back and open the house All up, assuming you have screens and have a cookout, go visit neighbors or something for at least half a day.
Helluva mess to clean up but they Won`t be buzzing any longer.

Do you have a raised foundation? If so, look for a dead animal under your house. If not, you may want to check the attic.
Flies often lay eggs in decaying animals and as long as that remains so may the flies.
I don't envy you this problem. I've been there! (maybe not trillions, though)
