FLY KILLING SPRAY NOT WORKING

We use a glass and a piece of card, followed by an open window/door. If killing has to be done, a fly swat works well.
 
Have to ask...

How do you convince the smaller flies to stay in one place long enough to freeze them to death??? ;)
 
cool ..... will it work on next doors f........ing cat that keeps crapping in our raised beds - it's not funny especially when the grandkids decided to use the raised beds as a sand pit

we have tried herbs etc., in fact on days they smell like a curry house
 
A water pistol will help dissuade cats but it might take a while to get it to relocate its favourite dumping ground.
 
I just use a tea towel, bang. Dead.

weird thing is in summer we may have 4 flies in kitchen and I kill 3, a few hours later there are 4 again! Never more though!

I've had this in the past and it can very easily turn nasty. Most cat owners feel it's not their responsibility and that 'fluffy' should be able to go where it wants. :mad:

My cure was to pick up the crap with a small spade and throw it over the fence as close to the path where they walked as possible. Eventually, the neighbour conceded, apologised and offered to come and clear it up himself rather than have me throw it back all the time.

As for killing flies - you can always make it fun:

Although, I find this to be the most effective (although a bit expensive will last a lifetime): https://www.amazon.co.uk/IK-Style-S...rds=leather+fly+swatter&qid=1633709519&sr=8-5

I like the look of that bad boy.
Do you have a technique for dealing with flies on a window that avoids broken glass ?

I find the best way is to come at the fly with a newspaper or something from the left, whilst slightly delayed bringing the racket in from the right. The fly will try to escape the newspaper straight towards your electric field of doom!

Sometimes it doesn't kill the fly but makes it do the electric boogaloo instead and it'll spin like crazy on the floor. A second or third blow can finish it off.

I do this for spiders/Daddy long legs ... flies are much trickier, I use a tea-towel for them, gotten pretty sharp with it too!
 
We rarely get flies in the kitchen and the rest of them (flies) seem to find their own way out of the house before getting too annoying. Spiders get the glass treatment but craneflies/daddy longlegses just get grabbed and ejected.
 
We don't tend to get many flies either, in warmer weather they come in through the windows and they're attracted to the cat's leftovers, but in general we get WAY more spiders [I guess that contributes to less flies] - I don't like to kill spiders so it's always the glass/sheet of card/paper treatment - I swear though, soon as I put them out, they turn around and make their way back in :ROFLMAO:
 
I never kill spiders etc. Just flies. And fruit flies (very annoying) using Apple Cider Vinegar method.

I agree with the OP often we get a small fly that Rapid fly spray just wont kill even a direct hit has little effect and this fly always goes out of view as though it has just vanished only to be there again 20 mins later .
very annoying.

This stuff work very well.
Just spray it around the window frames or anywhere else the flies land and they'll die shortly after coming into contact with it.

There used to be ‘pen’ with an impregnated pad that you applied on the glass at the bottom of a window. Since most flies end up at the windows and gravitate to the bottom it was very effective and avoided spraying stuff in the air for humans to breath in.
 
Hairspray apparently sticks their wings together and they fall making easy removal.
