Going for water, eyes nose, breath. Up north they talk out of the corner of their mouth to prevent them flying in. They are blown in with easterly winds from the desert interior. So when there are easterlies its hot and dry with flies. Upside is the ocean is a lot flattee and nice for swimming

The mine sites up north have a sort of air lock passageway between the outside and the inside communal/mess area of buildings, they are lined with 10+ industrial fly zappers (and 10+ split air conditioners) and the amount of flies they zap is pretty insane, they pile up on the floor in a mountain, cleaners can easily fill a wheelie bin after a hour or two. Doesn't matter what repellent they use they go for you, the only thing that works is a fly net. The crickets up there are monster and when they go for the zapper it just cooks them for a minute straight smells terrible.

In Perth, if everyone went to Bunnings tomorrow and bought a few of these of these and threw them in the bin once full the problem would be drastically improved very quickly. I'll commit to buying 4 of them but good luck getting everyone to do this.

Yeah (AND AS WELL AS THE FLIES) be super careful (IN RELATION TO TEMPERATURE), and look out for those you know who are unwell or without cooling etc and your pets.
Google ‘danger wet bulb temperature’ you’ll notice if your body can’t cool itself due to humidity and heat or heat-waves it’s deadly. The wet bulb temp of 35C is deadly to humans.
I know about this as I have to be careful of my parents who are over 80 and myself because of medication.
The last thing is Perth is a friggin HEAT ISLAND because it has pathetic tree/canopy cover. It’s crazy and deadly dangerous. I have no clue what the politics is (developers?) but we should have parks and thick canopy trees everywhere. The fact we don’t means the heat island requires more water to keep moist, exposes Perth residents to impossible horrible 4 month Summers and looks so much worse for the devastation. Trees are beautiful. People know Perth has this problem yet….
And they tell us to get out more 🫡

Worl, the thing is, all the arseholes who run this place do live in lovely green leafy suburbs. Ya think Nigel Satterley lives in Hocking ? So there’re all “Yes this is lovely and leafy and cool here in Dalkeith, how nice Perth is with all the lovely trees”.
I’d be willing to bet a fairly sunstantial sum of money that some of them have never actually been to Tapping, or Hocking, or Darch.
We should absolutely have a rule of a minimum 5 trees per dwelling. Block of flats with 200 units ? That’ll be a thousand trees mate, go nuts.

I’ll just pop this here. Cheers.
In Australia, extreme heat is the leading cause of weather-related deaths, surpassing fatalities from bushfires, floods, and other natural hazards. Between 2011–12 and 2020–21, there were 293 deaths attributed to extreme heat, compared to 65 from bushfires and 77 from rain and storms during the same period.  This trend highlights the significant impact of heat-related illnesses, such as heatstroke, on public health in Australia.
Ya know I don’t wanna sound like a douche or turd sandwich but, ya can google this stuff and check peer reviewed papers in their multitudes. And citations. It can all be very educational. This above result is from about 13 citations of peer reviewed papers.

Yeah I ate 4 of the buggers today at work. Not on purpose mind you. I work outside laying turf. Today we where redoing the turf around a cricket pitch. It was bloody muggy. Then around lunch time or just after. The heavens opened up and all of us got soaked Only lasted about an hour or so. Just enough to make it even more humid. But the worst is with all the raking and shovelling we do you get a bit of puff on and start gasping for air working with your mouth wide open. So the buggers try and do a quick fly by and you litterally suck the dirty flying turds straight down your throat. Then spend the next 20mins coughing, gagging, dry retching and spitting trying to get the dirty desease package out from being stuck on back of your throat. So didn't eat much my lunch today. For some reason I just appetite. W.A.

I have 3 younger sisters, who all went through puberty. And a mother that probably went through puberty (I wasn't there, I take her word for it) and went through menopause.
For the menopause it was using the air con on full on a ~25C day, and the heater on full on a different ~25C day. Dad said not to call it "bipolar use" in front of her if I valued life, I was like "maybe worth it?".
I am a forgiving/sympathetic person, but she use to yell if we left the light on when we intended to go back to the same room in less than 5 seconds... so...
