Its fly season again, and we keep getting big blow flys in our office (no jokes about me smelling please!!)

and so I have been killing them with fly spray, why do they have to come and die on my desk though, can't they go and do it quietly in the corner?

When I saw the title of this thread I thought to myself "Oh god no, here we go again. If it's not boobs it's something else."

Thankfully we're talking about an entirely different kind of fly, so I shall allow this discussion to proceed unmolested.

Anyway, we don't get flies. We get ants. Honed, bitter, hardened city ants that seem to have learnt how to swarm. Our kitchen bench crumbs have never before faced such a dire threat. I swear I saw one in the road getting run over by cars. It'd just stop for the wheel to hit it then get up and keep going. Some kind of 'Gordon Freeman Ant' if you ask me.

What is it about offices and flies dying on your desk?

No honking great blow flies here, just your regular house flies.

But all the same, on my desk?

Why I ask you?

Why?

...and then there's the ladybirds.

They rule, literally.

My boss has this thing about when he leaves the office and theres only me left, he leaves the ladybirds in charge.

I've noticed a lot more flies around too. Not in our office though, they couldn't get past security.
