How do I kill flies?

Question

I've got a few flies in my room because someone left the door open and they came from the kitchen. I can't kill some of them because there too quick. They bug me all night. So besides the obvious of a fly swatter or something, is there a smell that repulses them?

Answer 1

Don't you have a spray?

It works well.

Try using Raid. I think they have a can for flies.

If not try using cockroaches.

It should work as well.

Answer 2

eat them.

Answer 3

fly strips its only $1.00 for a pack of 4 they help out alot.

Answer 4

Fly love just about any smell, but they do not like smoke, but we don't want you burning down anything. So try bug spray, or fly paper.

Answer 5

first you must become one with the fly this is obtained by meditating for 4 days only stoping to eat or go to the bathroom then once you are one with the fly you should have no issue killing it unless it has become your new best friend then there may be some issues there but anyways after you kill the fly you must take it outside and dig a little grave and bury it so the fly wont haunt you

Answer 6

what i do is concentrate and open my hand and try catching it but don't follow it with your hands go the opposite way when u catch it u can easily kill...

i hope it helps

Answer 7

go to walmart and buy a can of raid or hot shot "flying insect killer". it is specially formulated for flies and works incredibly well. just go through the house spraying into the air of each room. it is fast and deadly.  

Answer 8

Citronella candles....Just swat them though. Make a game out of it.

Answer 9

wow why cant you buy a d**n fly swatter??

Answer 10

nah, just go to the shop and buy spray for about £1.70

and just wait about 5 mins and they will all be dead

Answer 11

Flies cannot stand farts, sneak up on them and f**t.  It messes with their senses and clouds their compound eyes.  They should be disoriented enough for you to swat them.

Answer 12

well one time i chased a fly( i think it was a horse fly) around spraying it with windex 2 wet it wings then it was forced to land and i sprayed it again with a stronger toxin (ex. pledge)  

Answer 13

Mix about one ounce of orange oil and one ounce of vanilla extract to 8 ounces of water. Break open some capsules of the odorless garlic or kyolic which you find in the drug stores or grocery vitamin sections. Add this to the mix. Shake well. It is pleasant and greaseless and works well against flying bugs. You can put this mixture in a spray bottle for quick and easy application.

Answer 14

sticky paper

Answer 15

Hmm... besides fly swatter?

There's this sort of like fly tape. It's a sticky tape that attracts flies. The flies go towards  the tape, be stuck, and die. Just hang the tape pack around your room. I'm sorry I don't know what it's called but my friend's mom uses it in their garage.

Maybe you can ask the workers at a local store for some recommendations/the actual product.

Answer 16

Citronella.

A draft will stop them landing and stinging.

Answer 17

Here's a few things I picked up on Eartheasy.com that are working for me:

Place satchels of one or a combination of the following: mint, basil, cloves, bay leaves around house and at points of entry

A few drops of Eucalyptus oil on a cloth in problem areas

I've also heard that a Ziploc filled 1/2 way with water works. I'm trying that too but not sure how it works.

Answer 18

killing flies is not so easy instead of killing them try to make place clean flies will never approach there

Answer 19

Give em a good old spray of anti perspirant (lynx is most effective) then set em of fire little balls of fire floating :P

Answer 20

bee trap

Answer 21

fly swatter

Answer 22

beat them to death with a fly swatter or something, or leave the door open and try hitting them towards it so they can get out. usually they end up dying after spending too long in a house, though. and there's not any smell that repulses a fly, but there's a fly-repellent for homes called Repel-X and it smells good too.  

Answer 23

fly paper works super well

Answer 24

bug spray and google listerine bug repellent works  

Answer 25

Deodorant and then fire can help, and those sticky fly hanging things help.

Answer 26

get some spray from a home store of super market. when they fly into it they die! its good stuff!! ;D

Answer 27

Very carefully.

Answer 28

shoe, rolled up news paper, fly swatter ???

Answer 29

Lemon Grass supposedly.  I would actually suggest a trap (they have various kinds depending on the type of fly).  Also hair spray will work as it coats their wings and then you can smash them!  Or get a cat, they like to hunt them down (course then they have to be mouse flavored flies, but who knows you might get lucky!)

Answer 30

Get a spray or something.

Hope this helps

Answer 31

Get a fly trap that you hang up and when they land on it they stick there forever . I had like 10 flies in my home thanks to the kids leaving the door open and this took care of the problem in 3 days .
