Almost NO Flies

Ukraine is very agricultural. In our town of 14000, a neighbor two houses down has two cows. We get milk from her. On the other side are neighbors that have goats, geese and chickens. And windows with screens are newly come to the country.

Last fall flies plagued us no end, especially in the kitchen. We bought several rolls of fly tape and hung them from the kitchen lights. It was more than a little disgusting to bump into one that was a little low and get the sticky, fly gunk in our hair.

Dave built a screen door at the beginning of my blogging adventures. This summer, I found a circle that sticks to the windows and poisons flies. We've also had fly repellent plugged into the electrical outlets. The result is almost NO flies. I am so very, very thankful.
