Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

General BS forum I guess anything is fair game in here. Just watch the subject matter doesn't get carried away too much. |

Sticky type traps aren't suitable around here, because the green anoles will wind up getting stuck on the traps. I saw an account of someone using large black inflated beach balls covered with a sticky substances that appeared to be very effective, but again, the collateral damage with the lizards would have been a problem.
We have several Mosquito Magnets running, which seem to be very effective at trapping the yellow flies without the collateral damage. Since the flies are attracted to movement, and from what I have read, the color blue, I have set up some "motion aids" in the form of whirlygigs and blinking blue lights to help attract the flies from a surrounding distance to where the Mosquito Magnets are located.
The population has been GREATLY reduced lately, but we still find one or two buzzing us now and again.

Maybe hang them with string.

I'm not sure that would help much. The anoles would notice flies trapped and struggling on the adhesive, and the motion would attract them to the traps themselves. They are perfectly capable of climbing down a string to the trap.
Heck, I'm hoping like hell Connie doesn't find a baby anole in one of my Venus fly traps. Heck, I'm hoping I don't find that. Might be the end of my mini-bog gardens.
