Fly swatter. The kind that looks like a bat, electric shock and kill the fuckers. We barely get 1 or 2 and I always kill em. I am evil.

A tip I picked up from a website somewhere - fill a plant spray bottle with water / little detergent. Spray at the worst offender and it makes them heavy and they drop to the floor. Spray is harmless and it works a treat!
