I think it's got something to do with raising your blood pressure by holding your breath? Noelene in Cooma Who can verify that yes, it does work! And who is wondering just how, after fighting mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches, etc. for all my life in either Sydney or in the tropics (where I had cockroaches eat the label off a bottle left between a cupboard and a refrigerator that I forgot about), that I've been lucky enough to spend my retirement in a house that is so well built that it has NO binnitangs (anything smaller than a mouse that moves in Pidgin English) whatsoever!

Re: [lace-chat] Insects meet their fate
Noelene, it's nothing to do with the wonderful building of your house - its your climatetoo darn cold for anything to live down there For the rest of the world - I've just seen on the evening news that the overnight temperature in Cooma last night was minus 9 degrees celsius Ruth Budge (Sydney, Australia) Noelene in Cooma wrote: Who can verify that yes, it does work!

[lace-chat] Insects meet their fate
Insects aren't really a problem, just the odd fly (most annoying if it's a bluebottle with all that buzzing) or wasp. If they come indoors, they're dealt with by a (probably) very evironmentally unfriendly insect spray (although it doesn't contain cfc's). Drops a wasp in about 15 seconds. Then I put a tumbler (drinking glass) over it until it's dead before disposing of the body.

dear Tamara When I see a flour moth, I chase all over the kitchen after it, trying to smash it between my clapping hands. Most unsatisfactory method, but one which seems instinctive... Do other people do it the same way? no, with the flour moths I use a butterfly net or fishing net (they come in different sizes ) and they both work well I used to do the other thing like you said but since then my granddaughter taught me how to catch them and then step on them in the net works a charm yours in lace Dearl Christiansburg, Virginia, USA My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance. Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy, and taste good with ketchup.
