Back to the Tradition2010/08/05

familiar from childhood

As you might imagine, the repellent sheet (my previous post about the sheet is Here) turned out useless (for the product’s honour, I must say that it did a good job to deodorise the odour from the bin; my kitchen waste haven’t stunk until bin days). So I went to a DIY store to get a new weapon against flies. There are a great variety of insecticides to choose,

How can I choose one from this pile?

and so far my choices from new products have always ended in failure. This time I decided to employ a traditional method: fly coils.

 

Summer tradition

To begin from the conclusion, a single coil seems to have annihilated all flies in my flat. At last I came to have a fly-free summer!

 

The main ingredient of this patented fly killer is pyrethroid, which is said to be very harmful to the insects but not at all to human (indirect speech). So it is just an illusion that my hands go somewhat numb after inhaling the smoke, isn’t it? Please say 'Yes, it is'...
