<3 my bug zapper. Went to the local hardware store to buy fly paper, but got tempted into buying a bug zapper like the ones they have in food stores.

Had these in the dells at work many times. Funny thing is is that if you move the mouse pointer to them they actually run away from it, to the extent you can ferry them to the sie of the screen. This has provided much in office hilarity on the oddd occassion it occurs

I came in tonight to find another 3 crawling behind my monitor tonight to make a total of 4. All small storm flies. Have I been unlucky or is this monitor not sealed or not built properly (yet to be swapped).
Obviously I don't want my new one to suffer the same problem as well. What can I do?

I've mailed Samsung regarding the bugs in mine - they are inside the tft and not behind any glass etc. Hopefully its covered by the 3yr on-site warranty.
But it would appear they don't make the 913b anymore according to their website.

Spoke to Samsung direct today and they told me it wasn't covered by the warranty and therefore only cause of action is to have it fixed and my expense. (Cheaper to buy a new one)
Has anyone had any luck with these indoor portable bug zappers? There's a decent looking one on Amazon for about £30 which says it works up to 3m. I'm tempted to place one of these on the desk behind the monitors to lure the little blighters away from the tfts.

You could try a pot of jam with a bright light next to it. That may tempt the flies out. 
I think all those people with roaming bugs in their TFT's should use a dead pixel fixer and run the software beneath the bug so it sends it into an epileptic fit and will hopefully (eventually) make the bug fall to the bottom of the screen...

Smoke 'em out.
Just got 2 in my NEC 20WGX2 which is brand new, less then a month old! 
There both dead ill be calling NEC to see what they say.
There both between the film and the backlight. Even if they dont cover bugs, it should come under dead pixals. Each bug takes up about 8 pixals in 1 block. One of them takes up about 12 because he is diagonal.
