Well, it’s all protein, no?
It seems like flies are like terrorists: you have to win every time…they only have to win once to accomplish the goal of making you not want to eat the sandwich.
Are you using artillery (fly-swatter), chemical warfare (no-pest strip), nuclear (Raid) or just ineffective leftie hand-waving?
BWAHAHAHAHAHA! I crack myself up.
I searched for root causes (seems that in order to get in and out of the house, we open the doors from time to time, which allows the flies in), then I tried girding up homeland defense (I put a safety seal on the toilet, then I hired a couple of federalized workers to keep an eye on the area around the refrigerator—which didn’t work out so well, because I went to get a slab of cheese to snack on last night and forgot my ID badge), and finally I tried multilateral negotiations, bringing in several of my neighbors to form an alliance against the flies. Sadly, my French neighbor seems to have brought six or seven new flies with him.
So ultimately I went preemptive—fly paper by the doors outside, and the promise of Raid should any fly enter the airspace around my home.
I find my shotgun is the most effective method of fly extermination. Great target practice. Hell on the furniture, though. And you gotta watch out for the little steel pellets in your sandwich . . . but it works great – no flys !
