MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Apart from nuking from orbit & whacking them with a towel/newspaper & chasing the bloody things round the kitchen with some of Marzocchis finest.
We get loads as soon as we open the kitchen door ( & no, the house doesn't smell of either crap or jam)
Wev'e been using Raid but I may as well be throwing the can at them rather than spraying the buggers.
Owt else more effective? Giant spider mebbe?
Blue electric thing like in a butcher's shop? Got to be healthier than spraying poison around the kitchen...
Would hanging a bead or chain thing off the door work?
You need one of these:

Make a noise like Darth Vader flying past when swinging for the little buggers !
get a gecko
(not this one - though he may well be one of the giant lizard oligarchy)

A car windscreen.
Burning them in mid air is very satisfying. WD40+lighter combination is fun, effective, and highly dangerous.

Your house must smell of either crap or jam.
You can still get those sticky fly papers...so I'd go for that or a blue light zapper.

Napalm, always napalm.

we have a blue zapper thing for the summer when the doors are open all day long. Works well.
The liverpool echo 🙂

We live in rural Herefordshire, next to a dairy farm, and are pestered with flies in the summer. Having tried nearly everything I can say that the electric ones don't work. They do kill the flies if the go in, but they aren't really attracted by the light.
A fly swatter is pretty effective.
The fly papers that hang from the ceiling are very effective especially if hung in the middle of the room (not always convenient)
I won't use the sprays, especially in the kitchen.
Think I'll get one of those 'electric tennis rackets', I remember lads swatting mossies with them when we were in Goa. As long as I don't swat the wife by accident. 😈

Ya don't see many of those about 😀
if they gather somewhere like on a window as mine do attracted to the sunlight just suck them up with a vacuum cleaner. On a good day I get to about a hundered kills in under a minute. Oh and they don't come flying back out the really perrish 🙂
A venus fly trap plant?
We have fly problems in our office at work when it's warm weather so got one of those blue electric frazzlers. Has a moderate effect but only really when you turn the room lights off.
It's quite a sight to behold when one gets fried and starts smoking (!)but then the main problem is the smell of burning hair that hangs in the air afterwards for aaggeeesssss...not nice!
On the other hand, I found Raid to really effective when we had a fly infestation last summer (live next to a farm). They were literally dropping out of the air like, well...flies! Not pleasant clearing up the bodies after though.
Found TOX fly & wasp killer to be pretty good.
