Question

More annoying than God Rays

It's the hottest day of the year in the UK and I've now counted 10 thunder flies walking around in my monitor... especially annoying on the white backgrounds which means most of the forum... I may have to avoid the forum until Autumn

best way to reduce this problem anyone???

    thanks @Techy111  :|  I was hoping for a more deadly solution

    Things not to do no.1.... get frustrated and hit the screen where the fly is, it will be permanently squashed into place with no hope of removal

    One of our analysts at work had this tiny spec of a bug walking around in his monitor and he would always complain. He has a dual monitor setup on his desk so one night after he went home I swapped the monitors and the next day he was freaked that the bug had moved to the other monitor.

    @DaftnDirect  This works ... for me anyway, but you need to leave the room for 30 mins after application
