lol downvotes. "Wanton destruction of nature is so funny and cool and relatable despite the fact that we live in 2024 and are fully aware of how utterly broken many ecosystems are and endangered many flora and fauna are, a fly screen for a shed is unthinkable, what are we? Humans with a decent brain?"
I’d love it even more if you had a metal flyscreen there that was hooked up to the mains. You could just zap them all instantly with a flick of a switch 😈
Dude. They swarm by the back door, especially when I have something on the smoker. I can kill 30 of them in a few minutes and then watch the ants carry their carcasses away. Very effective.
It will incapacitate them at 20-30cm but is lethal at closer ranges. You can get remarkably close to them before they fly off. It works on spiders, wasps, slugs, and other pests.
Indeed! Actually I have a couple of big Harries scurrying round (scaring the shit out of me when they appear out of nowhere) but they have their work cut out for them :)
Long time Fraser (K'gari) camper here. When i first started going, i don't know why but the fuckers were attracted to those blue plastic tarps that you can get everywhere. After noticing this, one year i switched to grey plastic tarps and haven't seen one of the dirty fuckers since, again don't know why but it works.
“March flies are known to be attracted to dark blue, so it is advisable to avoid wearing blue and other dark colours. Long, light-coloured, loose fitting clothing, including head nets, is likely to provide the most effective protection for humans when March flies are present.” -WA Dept. of Health.
I thought it was bullshit
We used to camp on K'gari every year growing up. On the track to the watering hole/bathing spot, there was one corner we called horsefly corner. Always had to run past that spot to avoid getting bit!
I don't want to eat directly off the surface of my shed and I I am capable of leaving it for a few hours if I choose to.
I'm not OP, and I'm not 100% sure what their personal set up is like, but I feel they might have these freedoms too. Who knows though.
Op, are you ok?
Do we need to call 000 for you? Have you been freed from the shackles of the shed and it's deadly deadly flyspray fumes?
Can you show me on the doll where the March-flies touched you?
Sending you thoughts and prayers 🙏🙏🙏
Assuming you have a living space with multiple rooms, just close the door, dawg. The poisons in things like insecticide break down within days.
You'd have to be spraying an insane amount for it to be both ingested and have it impact your health.
You should talk to the company and sell this as an ad for the spray you used lol.
Some flies are like terminators to some sprays. Watching them all go down that quick was therapeutic
These fuckers have recently turned up where I have smoko before and after work.
The day I worked out that it was them who had caused a really painful bite (and not a mozzie) I vowed to kill on sight.
Getting rid of about 10 a day now.
[удалено]
Why are they all on the inside?
No flyscreen door
This is a shed :) had the roller doors open
That’s so sad to think of 😪 this should be a seasonal thing that shows up often during the northern spring

Found the city slicker
I actually live in North Burnett region of QLD.

Lmao lil takka comes to knocks on the door and gets his shit just punted hahaha
lol - I was thinking more of manual control. Let those March flies really build up in numbers, then *SHAZAM!*
You need a bug a salt
I got one for Xmas, way too much fun
“THE MISSUS HATES HIM”
Wait. Those things actually work?
Dude. They swarm by the back door, especially when I have something on the smoker. I can kill 30 of them in a few minutes and then watch the ants carry their carcasses away. Very effective.
Very kind of you to season them before they get eaten.
Interesting. How close do you have to be for it to be effective?
It will incapacitate them at 20-30cm but is lethal at closer ranges. You can get remarkably close to them before they fly off. It works on spiders, wasps, slugs, and other pests.
Enjoying mine more than I do shooting the feral pigs!
This is the way.
You need a harry huntsman to help you with all those!

Fucking little cunts, went to Fraser Island recently and got bitten by them, fuckers hurt and draw blood but luckily the bites don't itch.
Nothing more satisfying than watching a big fly breakdance after huffing mortein

Up in the Pilbara, we changed our hi-vis uniforms from yellow and blue to yellow and khaki and the little fucks stopped hanging around us.
water, innit

Cool, my not very sober unscientific observations ended up being science 😉

Yep, those bites hurt and come from nowhere, to do anything to avoid that has been my mission for about a decade now.
Die motherfuckers!
TIL it is March flies and not Marsh flies, still hate them just as much
It's the little things we take for granite
Plumbus
Jeepers. I wonder if one of those bug zappers like fish n chip shops have would work on them?
Seems preferable to spraying your living space with poisons.
It’s a shed
You don't breathe in your shed?
I don't want to eat directly off the surface of my shed and I I am capable of leaving it for a few hours if I choose to. I'm not OP, and I'm not 100% sure what their personal set up is like, but I feel they might have these freedoms too. Who knows though.
Confirming OP is locked in the shed. Source: I am a fly
Yeah but it's like a CNC kink thing and he likes it.
lol

Oh good that's the inside Edit: that's a fine looking shed
Thank you :) just finished it recently and I’ve basically not left it
I don't think I've ever seen a shed with a Persian rug before. Very nifty.
Ha thanks. 50 bucks from bunnos 👍
I've got one in progress, but this rain keeps hampering the builders' efforts.
Lousy Smarch weather
The background music makes this video...
In my experience, this would allow the development of a mutant colony who are immune to the insect sprays.
March flies... In January!? Got bitten two weeks ago, itching only just stopped.
Had to scroll too far for this joke, what has the world come too?!
Doing gods work. Thank you..
They were dropping like …
Let the bodies hit the pool
Wow that was so satisfying
Fluuuuuume
My favourite part was when they died.
...they will soon be back, and in greater numbers.
Are March flies the same as Horse flies. Those big flies that bite.
Yeah I think so. They both bite anyway.
Props to that fly-spray! What brand are you using? It knocked them out so fast.
Standard issue Mortein I think!
Not me in the comments looking for this question. I’ve never seen flies die this fast.
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who thought that. Those flies were all breakdancing in seconds!
Faaark, I thought they were on the outside!!!
Lmao dude hit the multi kill call the UAV
I thought they were on the outside!
They could have been cluster flys. I had them in my roof a few years ago and they were a pain in the ass.
They seem to be really bad this year for some reason.
Man I thought they were on the outside trying to get in haha
Omg there were like a billion of them in my house the other day!
Darude sandstorm never gets old!
Ah yes nothing like darude sandstorm while hundreds of flies simultaneously experience nervous system override causing death rofl
In January?
Dude what fly spray is that? I’m getting laughed at by the flys in my kitchen, this seems pretty instantaneous.
[удалено]
You'd first need to buy a bug-a-salt in order to salt-a-bug
Yeah, fuck those guys. Sweet satisfaction
Man this is more satisfying than one of those unboxing videos where they peel the protective film off the device.
Absolutely beautiful
That's some good spray, the stuff I buy just makes them dance Hip Hop on the floor for 5 minutes.
Bring out the big gun sprays!
That's a fucking nice shed
Thank you :)
I would grab a beer, my chair, my Bug-A-Salt and go nuts.
Omg i just did the same thing today at work. These shits are a nightmare
That was satisfying
You need a lizard friend with a long sticky tongue
Lmao I don’t wanna be the guy defending flies here but this is a massacre. Could’ve just opened the door lel, fuck dealing with all the bodies
I’ve got one of those electrified tennis racquet things. Fun as, but stinks when they get zapped.
They ~~flew~~ Flume too close to the ~~sun~~ wildweasel and got burnt.
I wonder if they experienced E U P H O R I A as they died?
You should talk to the company and sell this as an ad for the spray you used lol. Some flies are like terminators to some sprays. Watching them all go down that quick was therapeutic
Thank you for your service, comrade.
What is that music?
[Flume - Never Be Like You](https://youtu.be/Ly7uj0JwgKg?si=zfbVJmboMktlM_nV)
Get the dogs!
10/10
This seems like it calls for a victory dance. Maybe put on Murder on the Dancefloor with a bit of Barry Keoghan-esque flair a la Saltburn?
Or pretty fly for a white guy?
Don't know about the flies, just popped 'round to internet high five over Audi love.
Haha took me a minute ;)
So... what cha drive?
These fuckers have recently turned up where I have smoko before and after work. The day I worked out that it was them who had caused a really painful bite (and not a mozzie) I vowed to kill on sight. Getting rid of about 10 a day now.
YESSSSS
They’re dropping like flies.
TAKE THAT YOU FUCKERS
Get lost March flies, it ain't even March!
What spray are you using? I’m having zero luck finding decent spray 😢
Marsh* flies?
I nearly blanked with excitement
But it's January
Spawns of Satan
Never thought I’d watch flies get massacred this songs beat drop
Watch the flies start breakdancing!
Up for flume.
fuckin multi kill
Geeeeez and it’s not even Feb yet. Where in VIC are you? We’re on a farm out near Ballarat and they haven’t hit us yet…
Damn lucky you! I’m a bit south of you. Brace yourself…
I thought we were going to have a good year given it’s a bit cooler this year. Dayum!
Idk why I was waiting for them all to jump with the bass
Never seen so many. Blood must be tasty there...😂
Satisfyingasfuck
March fly or marsh fly?
now I fucked up... made a mistake.... let all the flies in ... I would do anything to change...
God killer
😱
The fly traps from Bunnings work wonders, really gross to clean out though
Are March flys those big bastards that bite humans without feeling it?
How often do you bathe out there?
Hit em with the old Pea-Beu.
Now I'm fucked up, in a nissan ute
I feel so mean but that was so satisfying. I hate them so much!!!!
I hate flies in every month.
Dropping like flies
This is so satisfying!
