Every summer the hubster and I get in an argument over those nasty flypaper strips that he wants to hang in the house! You know the ones I’m talking about? They are a gross waxy yellow color and just plain disgusting-looking….and that’s WITHOUT dead flies stuck to them! :-)
I will concede to letting him hang some in the garage by the door into the house, but I draw the line at hanging them INSIDE the house. They just give me the heebie-jeebies!
So when I read about an idea at Care2.com for making your own homemade flypaper…I couldn’t wait to try it. ANYTHING had to be better than those icky yellow ones!
Turns out these are actually quite attractive-looking…almost DECORATIVE (OK, that might be going a little too far.) Of course they don’t have any dead flies stuck to them yet, but still, if you hate the look of those gooey yellow strips as much as I do...you might want to give this a try!
