I confess. I’m a fly-killer who’s having second thoughts.

 

Living in a green area with a spacious backyard, flies somehow find their way into my residence on a frequent basis. They seem to enter on my end of the place as opposed to my roommate’s, so it’s up to me to deal with them… and I do so harshly, generally swatting them into the Great Beyond with one of several legal pads I have lying around.

 

I don’t think I’m in the minority when it comes to flies invading an indoor space, but I’m starting to have second thoughts. I just wish the ones in my surrounding area would take a hint and notice that a good number of their friends have not returned home to the crew. Over the last year, I’ve done a lot of damage. It feels like at least one fly somehow gets into this place every two days on average. It’s just instinct, and we’re not talking about honeybees that are vital for the survival of our ecosystem… but maybe I should just start opening the hallway door and let them out into nature again?

 

Of course, then they could come back in and keep being a nuisance.

 

I guess I’m becoming more pro-life when it comes to the flies… I’m having a hard time though.
