I'm a bit befuddled. Aren't the flies on the sills DEAD? Surely you're not saying they just come to nap on your sills. Is your house like Dawn of the Dead for bugs?

Well she said 'out of' the sills. Maybe they are living in the crack because it doesn't have a good sealant. I had bees coming through my sills last summer. By the time I realized where they were coming from (I had thought they were coming through the ac vent) they were done for the year (with help from the bee genocide I conducted outside with 4 or 5 cans of raid). I never did caulk the window. But I'm moving out this week I'll let the new homeowners find that out on their own. Luckily my son didn't get stung.

Yeah, but you're talking about bees in the summer, not flies in the winter in Canada. Could it be that warm in the sills? Do flies hibernate?

All species have the ability to adapt to their surroundings. Maybe canadian flies can handle frigid temperatures better than our flies.

Okay Mr. Smartypants...I'm not going to argue. We'll wait and see what she says when she checks back into this thread.

I can hear the dialup chirping away right now.

give or take, matters if they fed the moose that runs the phone cord

We are the music-makers, And we are the dreamers of dreams, Wandering by lone sea-breakers, And sitting by desolate streams; World-losers and world-forsakers, On whom the pale moon gleams: Yet we are the movers and shakers Of the world for ever, it seems.</marquee>

I guess the moose hasn't been fed.
