[s]Button or zip?[/s]

Is there some sort of scientific reason why, with the entire world to buzz about in, flies can find their way into my kitchen if I open the back door a couple of inches for a picosecond, yet can't manage to find their way out again with the door wide open and me at the other end of the room swatting like a bloody maniac?

It's like some sort of fly osmosis. Bastard things.

Agreed. They can't even find the blue light zapper that I bought from Aldi last year, idiots.

It's even worse than that. The buggers fly in through the tiny gap in our kitchen window and then can't get out of the massive opening that is the door I've just opened for them 👿

I looked up that Bug-a-salt thing and it seems Amazon do them.

First review:

[i]This thing is great fun and I wish I had bought one years ago. It makes very short work of flies and can even take out wasps with a few shots.
I charge around the house like Rambo actively seeking out my prey and I never have to worry about my carpet freezing in winter as it is about half an inch deep in salt now. I am wondering if they will make a vinegar version for livening up fish and chip night. 😀

I have a spider who's taken up residence behind one of the orchid pots on the kitchen windowsill, and the number of flies infesting the house while I've got windows and doors open has dropped dramatically, although there don't seem to be many dried husks littering the web.
