F'ing flies, just killed one (pics).

[Clip]

warning. this post contains pictures of a dead fly.

nothing special, just hate flies and i bagged one tonight with hair gel. add this to my resume: killed wasps in the oven after the bastards stung me (5 minutes at 350 does wonders); torched bugs with propane, drowned them in acetone, you name it and ive probably done it.

my more interesting methods included sticking a plunger over an earwig and setting him in a vacuum, i guess. when i pulled the plunger up it sucked to the tile floor and i had to work to break it free. when i got it up there were earwig bits in a small circle and the earwig was torn apart. wow. another favorite is to squirt typewash (mix of gas, isopropyl alcohol and a few cleaning agents) on bugs that are hard to kill. after a few seconds they start twitching and twisting and finally end up on their backs (roaches especially)

anyway, held the hair gel over this one and let loose. he didnt move much after that.

LMAO! nice kill. you just gave me some nice new ideas for the bastard insects that live around here!

I work in a lab and have come up with a bunch of ways to kill wasps, flies, and an occasional roach:

1. Concentrated Sulfuric Acid - Rating: Effective, but less dramatic than you would think.

2. 35% Hydrochloric Acid - Rating: More dramatic due to acid fuming (best done under a fume hood)

3. 90% Formic Acid - Rating: Highly irritating chemical, works well on wasps, which is ironic since a lot of their sting venom is formic acid.

4. 50% Sodium Hydroxide - Rating: Very corrosive, but little excitement and one I quit using a long time ago.

5. 25" of Hg in a Vacuum Flask - Rating: Effective and a little crazy. Roaches can go more than 15 minutes without air! Others don't last nearly as long. Spiders don't like it at all. It's amazing how they grow and shrink when you change the vacuum. Some freak when you pull vacuum and then turn around and pressurize the flask. Sick.

6. Stong Ammonia in a Closed Container - Rating: FTW! Nothing survives long in those vapors - it's almost immediate.

Gas, and WD40

THE FREEZER FTW! No seriously. Next time you have a big flying bug near you, put it in a bag and toss it in the freezer for about 30 seconds. Take a LONG (like 15 feet long) piece of string from a sewing machine. Look at the bug in the bag. Should be fast asleep. Take the bug out, and tie the string in a knott around one of the legs. Take the bug out into the hot outside air and wait.... Pretty soon you have a bug on a string zooming around your head!

what are you.. from the 1920's?

what are you.. from the 1920's?

I live out in BFE, and I came from the city so killin shit and burning stuff was hella better than getting shot at, in my own front yard.
Now that I'm older, I'm tired of ignorant rednecks and their massive trucks with a #3 on the back of it, and thinking they can take corners at 90mph.

So I live now more in the city, but yes, I was a country kid for quite a while.(till i was about 13)

A nice cheesy 357 Magnum look alike Crossman Co2 Pellet gun is one sweet Fly Blaster. No pellets involved though plus it's great practice for quick draw target shooting. LOL
