ICK!

Post by gorkon » Thu Aug 16, 2007 11:59 pm

I was getting ready for bed tonight and unlike most days, I did not empty my humidifier. M y unit is integrated into the machine. I took i tout preparing to dump it and clean it and i noticed a fly had got himself STUCK in the resevoir! I took the hose off and it was sitting where it usually does next to my bed. Poor fly must have flew in through the hole in the top and got himself stuck....that makes me wonder....could you put sugar water in the humidifier on a old unit and use it for a fly trap?? LOL.

Goodnight!

was he doing the back stroke?

With deer flies, you take a strip of bacon suspend it over a pan of water, the flies land on the bacon to eat it, engorge themselves with the fat and fall into the water and drown.

It has nearly become a sport in some neck of da woods
someday science will catch up to what I'm saying...

If you use borax, sugar and water you can use it as an ant trap, too. Works great! I had bad ants this Spring and it worked.

Note: I didn't put it in the humidifier this Spring, since I hadn't started cpap yet, but now that I have the worthless M-series humidifier with the number 2 and the older date, I will give it a try next Spring. It's way too small for a goldfish tank.

The borax mixed with sugar and a little water does work for ants, though.
