    Real. Because I have the windows open and sheets off I keep waking up with fresh mosquito bites.

        Man one time a fly got in somehow despite the flyscreen. Every night it would bzzzzZZZZZZ right in my ear and scare the shit out of me at 2am. It’s not like you can sleep with your head under the blanket or you’ll suffocate.

        In the morning I’d search and try to kill it but couldn’t find it. The fucker tormented me for weeks, didn’t eat or drink, only surviving on annoying me. Eventually it died of old age somewhere I’m sure. I still have a grudge against that little shit.

          Flies are a real pest where I live and always land on me if I’m outside in the daytime. I bought a Bug-A-Salt gun and it’s the greatest weapon ever for killing flies.

          A bad shot will clip their wings and make them vulnerable. A good shot will splat them.

            Oh yeah I really wanted one of those, they look kind of fun. But it never arrived after months of waiting so I got a refund and gave up. They don’t sell them in AU
