Get the Zapper out! Wheatflys are Back!

Damn it, its that time of year again! The thunderbugs/wheatflies are trying to eat my monitors! So far, just one, in a 19inch widescreen that I brought of the forums!! :mad:

Get the old electric bug zapper back in the computer room again, had a flyscreen over the window, but these things are so small they just flew through!

are they attacked to the light that monitors give off or is it just the brightest light source in a room they be in?

Neither, they are hell bent on world domination and crippling our technology is step 1 of their plans.

Is there any way of getting the buggers out of your LCD monitor without stripping it down? Had this happen years ago on my dual screen setup but never wanted todo anything about it because they cost a fortune when I got them (but really need upgrading now - 15" non Widescreen ;( )
