Answer 1

Answer 2

its a nifty invention called "the fly swatter", you kill the fly with it.

Answer 3

Shotgun works well.

Leaves no trace of that nasty old fly.

Answer 4

Amazing little pests, aren't they?

Keep all food put away, clean up all scraps and crumbs. Keep windows closed or make sure they have screens.

When you're having dinner and a fly lands on your pork chop, remember that every time one of those lovely little creatures lands he 5hits.

Use a flyswatter. I have a friend who can catch them in his hand. He will catch one, and hold it in his hand, then catch another with the same hand. He says he can catch a dozen, and hold them alive in one hand, but I've only seen him get four.

If a fly lands on the counter, if you clap your hands maybe 2 inches above him and behind him, you'll smash him between your palms. If you snap your hands together and then right apart the dead little guy will land on the counter. If you're hold your hands together you'll have to clean him off, but you should wash up anyways. When they 'take off'', they zip up backwards to get going.

Good luck. Have fun!

Answer 5

I have the same problem where I live keep all food closed because that is what they eat when they are in the house. Keep the doors and windows closed in case of other bugs coming in. And last but not least, the fly swatter. Though it doesn't work half the time. They usually die in 2-3 days.

Hope it helped.

Answer 6

Catch him in a butterfly net.  It's much easier than it sounds.  Then take him to your ex's place, where he belongs.

Answer 7

spray it with some canned air (like you'd use to get dust out of electronics) - it's cold & the fly will slow way down.  You should be able to scoop it up & toss it outside, where it will warm up and continue on its way.

Answer 8

take a c**p in the corner of the room on a newspaper  and while he is enjoying a good meal put a jar over the c**p take the newspaper  and flush  him down the toilet I heard drowning is very humane but if you insist on letting him live take it out to your trash and leave him there you probably will not see him again so wave goodbye  

Answer 9

a flamethrower. works especially well when he lands on the draperies.
