Hi,

I use so called "dry malaise" with poison buttons. It keeps me busy, because You must empty the bottle every day (or every second). Many of the flies are still alive and in very good condition. Just now problematic are the spiders. They live long enough to spread their web arond the flies. After pinning every fly will have a five hours acetone bath to keep colours clear.
