How to make a Greenfly trap


Decide that the garden is a good place to paint an item (a door)


Paint the item a nice shade of snow white


Lean item against the fence to dry in the sun


Check item 15 minutes later to find that approx 100 Geenfly have their
legs struck in the now drying paint! Luckily its not too bad as once the
(undercoat/primer) paint is fully dry the fies could be wiped off with a
damp cloth.


So it’s a lie to say that there are no flys on you.
