A majority of my windows face south- which is such a blessing. The sun fills my home with light from early dawn to late dusk. It's welcoming and warming and the cats enjoy following the sunbeams as they walk across the cabin floor. On the other hand, yet another creature avidly enjoys the warmth of the sun. And those creatures are flies. Although I love flies- they are among one of my favorite critters to have in my house, when more than 50 of them have delved into my home things get noisey and frenzy and unfortunately unbearable. But Apollo, my albino male ferret, keeps them at bay for me. For whenever the buzzing gets to loud, he comes out from his blanket, climbs up the couch, crawls onto the windowsill, and targets, traps, and eats each and EVERY one of the buzzing creatures. Ferret foods is quite affordable with a little fly-eater like him. And he's much more efficient than I and a fly-swatter ever could be.
