How do you kill a fly?

Post Reply New Topic

I like to spray just enough bug killer on a fly to make it buzz around for a while with it's wings looking weird. It falls to the floor and does it's thing. But, sometimes I have to put it out of it's misery if this goes on too long. But, they usually die within 10 or 15 minutes. I love to see Silver Fish squirm around on the wall for a while before they let go and fall to the floor. Than I pick the buggers up with a piece of toilet paper and drop them in the toilet.

I don't kill flies. My cats handle that.

I usually just smack them with my hands.

Lock them in a window.

I avoid killing flies and mosquitoes. Houseflies have not appeared in my house often in the last 6 years since I moved in here. Flies that usually live outside by manage to get into my house, such as hoverflies and blow-flies, I'll usually catch with a glass and a piece of paper, then take them outside.

I do the same with mosquitoes, they're generally not live-threatening in our area, so I have no beef with them.

fly's do a backwards sommersault as they take off, thus they need not be slapped directly, just clap above them and they fly right into it, distance 1-3 cm varies by flyspeed.

other than that i usualy dont bother unless it is really getting on my nerves,

I open a window and let it fly out.

I just usher them outside

Machine-guns are generally quite effective; failing that a flame-thrower.

LMAO AND THEN SOME.

I don't generally need to kill flies, as they aren't frequently in my house. I have heard of electric flyswatters. Sounds like a child discipline nightmare.

I try to get them caught in a spider's web
