( 2003-08-19 10:44) (China Daily)
A retired worker has killed 21 kilograms of flies in four years, reports
Xinhuanet.com.
Yu designed his special device, which lures flies to their deaths, four years
ago. He has since constructed six such traps using metal wire, thin bamboo
strips and nylon gauze. The contraptions are placed near dustbins in the
residential area where he lives.
Every fifth day Yu collects the flies and records their collective weight. He
then burns the flies with coal oil. To date, he has eliminated up to 21
kilograms of flies.
Yu said the government and his neighbours had helped him
greatly.
