The good ole fashioned fly swatter

There’s always the age old remedy of the fly swatter. Most of us grew up with them and that’s the go-to solution for just about everybody. If nothing else works, grab that fly swatter.

I don’t particularly enjoy hunting them down or killing them, nor do I really like the fly guts that they leave behind.

Some things I’ve tried

Our go to solution, but not the best way, is to put a drop or two of dishwashing soap in a water bottle of then spray that on them wherever you see them. While there are no fly guts, sometimes they still get away if your aim isn’t the best. Adjust your spray and get a little closer before you pull the trigger for a better chance to get ’em.

Some things you have said.

What are some things that have worked for you?

I hate to keep fighting to keep them out or dead…it’s a struggle…

John Bittle

Fly swat, it they weren’t so messy I’d an assalt weapon! The gun that shoots salt!

Chris Ward

Window sticker fly traps are the best thing I have found. You can buy them at amazon or Walmart and they are way cheaper than the little plug in lights. They might look gross but just tear them off or put you blinds down when you have company. Hope this helps.

Weiland Woodworks

I need one of those strong fans like grocery stores have when the door opens..it blows air to keep them out…we try everything and they find their way in

Amanda Fureigh Williams

Pine Sol diluted in a spray bottle works great. Spray around your doors and on porch mats. Flies hate the smell.

how do you want to be remembered

April 22, 2025 (updated November 29, 2025) Published by

After pondering aging for a few years now, since entering what I refer to as my “last trimester” of life, I have realized you have some important choices to make. Like who do you want to be remembered as. It seems old people either turn cantankerous or they resort back to their childlike self and live simply by the golden rule. After finishing up a beautiful Lent & Holy Week and learning the St Ephraim prayer, I believe I will choose to not judge my brother or meddle in their business but to instead see my own sins and give love to all. AND I absolutely choose the simple, childlike way of life.

How to get rid of your old and used stuff

As people have more money to spend, we find more things to buy, and end up with more things than we know what to do with and less space to store it all.

This is becoming a bigger and bigger problem. One that we often don’t recognize because

  1. there isn’t much attention focused on it, and
  2. it’s slow growing.

Here, we list a variety of solutions that you can use to help turn some of your old items into cash. Some are tried and true, some newer solutions and one solution that solves allot of the problems that the other existing options fail to address.

SELL YOUR STUFF IN THE RUSSELLVILLE STORE

We have a muti-faceted solution that is FREE, easy and allows you to get rid of your used items even if they don’t sell. You can meet local people as well as make a little extra money and a great place for businesses to market themselves and sell their items.

YARD SALES

If you live in town or know someone who does, you can sell your stuff at a yard sale. Yard sales are a great way to earn a little extra money, get rid of stuff you no longer need, and keep stuff out of the land fill.

If you have a yard sale, feel free to list it in the comment section at the bottom of this post or here in the comment section.

PROS:

  1. Earn extra money
  2. Get rid of used stuff
  3. Have fun and meet new people

CONS:

  1. take allot of work
  2. don’t often sell everything
  3. only useful for people who live in town or near a populated street
  4. often a mess to clean up.

ETSY, MARKETPLACE, EBAY

I lumped these all together because they have many of the same advantages and disadvantages. Visit ETSY.COM, EBAY.COM or the FACEBOOK MARKETPLACE to sell your stuff now.

PROS:

  1. Have more reach than yard sales
  2. Often have low listing fees
  3. Sell your stuff for more than you would at yard sales.

CONS:

  1. Takes time taking photos and creating listings.
  2. Shipping items can be time consuming or expensive
  3. Meeting new people can be risky and takes time out of your way.
  4. People who create listings, often drop and run, never visiting the site to answer questions or shop themselves, so while these groups have allot of members, traffice is limited to only people creating listings, not people shopping
  5. Shoppers can’t always find what you’re looking for
  6. Things for sale are often over priced.
  7. Listing fees are often cheap but can be expensive.
  8. Sites are becoming full of scammers and spammers and untrust worthy listings.

JUNK SALES

If you don’t live in town, you can use junk sales like Bargains Galore, or other similar options.

PROS:

  1. Have more reach than yard sales.
  2. No listing fees if you can find space along the highway.
  3. Provide higher visibility than yard sales.

CONS:

  1. People are finding ways to gouge sellers for land looking to sell their items
  2. Slows traffic dramatically along the highway.
  3. They are an eye sore.
  4. Items are often over priced.
  5. Shoppers can’t always find what they’re looking for
  6. Disorganization and time consuming to shop.

THROW IT AWAY OR RECYCLE

I would say this is the worst of option, but it’s quick and easy.

PROS:

  1. Quickly gets rid of un-needed/unwanted items.
  2. The fastest way to solve the problem of unwanted things.

CONS:

  1. Fills the landfills
  2. Bad for the environment.
  3. Lost opportunity to turn items into cash.

DONATE

A good solution if you have items that a charity can use or sell.

PROS:

  1. Quickly gets rid of un-needed/unwanted items.
  2. Can help local charities raise money for projects or needs.

CONS:

  1. Don’t always want the items we need to get rid of and end up as trash.
  2. Lost opportunity to turn unwanted items into cash.
  3. Not all places take unwanted items and times to accept unwanted items are often restrictive.

DON’T BUY IT IN THE FIRST PLACE

Probably the best solution, is to avoid the problem in the first place. If you can think ahead and decide you don’t really need it, this is by far the very best solution and one we should all practice.

PROS:

  1. Keeps things out of landfills.
  2. No need to sell items, list them or discard of them.
  3. Keeping your cash in your pocket is the most cost effective solution as you can almost never sell the item for what you paid for it.

CONS:

  1. Not really any cons except no marketplace created for income opportunities.
