Because this fly has been buzzing around the front room for 3 FUCKING DAYS!!!??? Angry

(Yes, I've tried all sorts to get rid of it and am now just waiting for it to die. Surely it's not the same one as they have such short lifespans don't they? Is a little fly family somewhere pulling my leg? The bastards...)

deodorant and a lighter = instant flamethrower?

Oooo nice one.

I think my neighbour think I've lost it. She saw me stood on a chair, trying to swat the fucker yesterday Grin

If it's your kitchen are you sure it's the same fly? You could have something iffy dropped, spilled or hidden away somewhere that's attracting them.

I've blasted the living room & kitchen in case so not sure i've missed something. Have also shut the kitchen window & only keep the living room one open atm.

I can't wait til bug season is over

I'm not recommending you do this but my dad taught me a pretty nifty trick with wd40 and a lighter that is amazing at getting rid of flies! Unfortunately you also get rid of the curtains, carpet and anything else close to you Grin

Hairspray? No lighter. Just spray the fly and it'll slow down enough for you to swat it

A saucer smeared with jam. Get him so loaded with sugar that he gets sleepy.

wait til it lannds then swat it. easy if you know to approach it from 2 directions at once.

When it lands swat slightly behind it - flies take off backwards Grin
