Flies are an awful nuisance. On their sticky feet and hairy bodies, houseflies carry millions of germs which spread wherever they go. Given a chance, they walk on our food, make our windows dirty, and annoy us with their buzzing. When the weather gets cool, they come into the house through any hole they can find.

Have you ever had a fly insist on landing on your nose no matter how wildly you slap at it? Or walk on your face when you are trying to go to sleep? Some people just can‘t stand to have flies buzzing around their heads or walking on their bare skin. No wonder we swat and kill them whenever we can.
