Insectecutors, they don't half crackle 'n' pop, but they do the job. Flies and most other bugs can't resist them.

Having a good bet on one beaten a nose , reckon it would be a million the fly lasting 30 secs after that.

The spray you need is called Kybosh, brilliant stuff but don't breath it in, you will have a sore throat otherwise.

Cut a long thick elastic band. Hold the one end between the finger and thumb, and the other end between the finger and thumb of your other hand. Stretch the elastic band and stalk the fly. When your one hand is close to the fly, take aim and release the one end of the elastic band - splat. Strike one fly. No quarter asked, no quarter given. That's the way I operate.

With Wimbledon in mind Some exceptional analysis and commitment to the problem the opening post has faced in the past couple of days  with key methods in order to restrain the creature just a great effort and a highly enjoyable thread for people with nothing better to do than talk flys…admirable stuffSaddo not been back on, hopefully he hasn’t confronted the Hungarian weight lifter from next door…we can only hope he is in good health. Another potential situation for the forum to help with  |

People who open windows and allow flies in!

i have a cheap and alternative solution - if the fly is on the window, use a glass spray, if the fly is around furniture use mr sheen, either knocks them out so you can finish the job but the real bonus is a quick wipe of the overspray and you can tell the mrs you've done housework and she'll be able to smell it meaning brownie points

Vapona window stickers work well for us. We buy 8 stickers every spring (about £4 for a pack of 4 on ebay and they look like sunflowers) and stick them on our windows around the house. Within days there are piles of dead critters on the windowsills underneath each sticker. Once a year, peel them off (they don't leave a mess) and replace with a new one.
The electric tennis rackets are good for the giant wasps which come down our chimney every winter. They make a very satisfying BANG and produce a small puff of acrid smoke when the wasp is electrocuted. |

undertaker... "giant wasps coming down our chimney in winter"
Sounds like you might have Burglars mate. Look out for the one wearing a mask and carrying a swagbag. |

I didn't even know those tennis rackets existed. For the bloodthirsty couple, you could buy 2 and turn it into a nice game. I on the other hand am a big softy and leave windows and doors open and patiently coax them out with a few kind words, "go on buddy, you're ok" being a favourite.
God only knows why I'm single  |

u should still get one of his tennis rackets and then maybe try whacking a few women with it, you might get lucky and be able to drag one back to your place

I would rather entice a nice lady with my wit, charm and dashing good looks...... but as I've got none of these, which model racket would you suggest Elise? I like a larger lady so I'm thinking something with a big head?
|
|
By:
if you are in need a big head you're better off asking willie shafter imo, however i think you may be underselling yourself and you should start with a ping pong bat and just find the right sized @rse and give it a forehand
|

By:
similarly to my mr sheen option this can also be used as a fly swatter if you get bored of asking them to leave and if you get a 2nd one you could apply for a job at the local airport directing planes to their alotted parking spaces
|

By:
This sounds like a good plan Elise although I'll have to adjust it slightly as I'm stronger on my backhand.
|
|
By:
i'd save the backhand for a decent catch like a supermodel or barmaid
|
|
By:
I don't know what the barmaids are like where you are, but mine would need a double handed backhand if you know what I mean, and I doubt even that would stun her.

A house fly has a life expectancy of about 3 weeks so why not just wait it out?

I'd say that the midgies are more annoying..quite demented by them at times

Went out on a boat to dine, on Loch Neigh in Northern Ireland. Had to come to shore early as a plague of Midges descended on us. Never seen anything like it, bit the hell out of us. Scottish Highland Lochs just as bad, can't possibly fish without a hat on. Balaclava best.
