I drowned a wasp who was not killed by a generous douse of wasp spray yesterday, so this resonated with me today.

When they get annoying, they simply have to go. I love "splat!"

Annoying is the word Milton, you'd think they'd heed the warning after one swat but they're suicidal and come back for more grrrrr. Tom

Many a fly has given up a decent gig by becoming annoying! At least a mosquito moves on after getting his fill, but not a fly!

Great haiku with a witty backbone, sometimes individuals seem haughty, but maybe he's only hungry.

Possibly, but I tolerate only so much annoyance...by a fly!
