Per philo:
I have a considerably easier and cleaner way to do it. Works most of the

Since flies are phototropic it's a simple as turning off all lights and
letting them go to a window...then opening it an letting them out.


If night time. I turn off all lights except for the one by the door...
when the fly goes there, turn on the outside light, turn off in inside
light and open the door.


Nice...

For the more sadistically-inclined, there's the entertainment-oriented
strategy that somebody I once knew in Hawaii used: shoot them with a
slingshot loaded with salt. It punches holes in the wings and then
they can be swatted or collected on the floor.

This was after they found that shooting them with squirt guns loaded
with No-Roach left spots on the walls.....

Classy bunch....


whos gonna clean up all the salt?


they are called.....wait for it
