Commercial UV electrocution insect zapper trap.

But be sure to empty it from time time or you can get serious problems:

A quickly incinerating laser beam focused on a edge of a DLP
micro-mirror that can quickly swing it into the target as seen by 3D
cameras, with zones such as windows and furniture mapped out of the
'kill area'

Then a remote controlled flying drone with a small vacuum cleaner
despatched to hoover up the remains.

All controlled and completely automatic from a Raspberry Pi.

Patent probably pending from somewhere...

I've got one of those high voltage 'tennis racket' fly squatter things
from Poundland. I've had a couple of flies get a visible spark, which
works apart from a couple that managed to recover and take flight again.

Food quality UV traps use a sticky transparent film instead of a zapper.
The film is on a roll that advances every few hours and gets changed
about once a month. That avoids any falling fly parts, which could
contaminate food.

Is *that* what it smells of?

I suppose it's not too healthy to spray huge clouds of it about as an air freshener.

I thought it was pyrethrum, which is sort of flowery but not really
chrysanthemums.

It is pyrethrin, which is either extracted from crushed chrysanthemums
(Kenya grows thousands of tonnes per year) or industrially synthesised.

Personally I find it a bit sickly sweet, so only really annoying flies
get blasted with it.

Makes sense, but falling is an understatement. A blue bottle zapped
by even the small domestic UV zappers explodes itself over quite a
distance...

And use it according to the instructions. Close windows and doors, a
second or two spray into the air near the middle of the room, leave
room reclosing that door and wait ten minutes.

You don't need to zap the flies directly, oh fish aren't overly keen
on the stuff either, so remove or cover their tank.

I've seen plenty electric ones in food places.

And part of a dead fly won't kill you, or cyclists would be dying off all the time when they breathed one in.

Bull****. That method fails drastically, nothing dies. You must spray directly onto the insect.

And only Johnson's RAID does anything. The other makes have far less of the active ingredient.

I use an electric fly zapper - Insectocutor Pluszap - two of 1 foot UV tubes. And also they're easy to hoover up when they're perched on the ceiling. Move the vacuum pipe towards them slowly, then they don't perceive it as a threat. But make sure you half suck up a rag before turning off the vacuum, or they can escape.

I've got one of those, they make a really nice sound when hot it a fly, most of mine get stuck to it and then I tap it on the side of the toilet pan and off they go. Have had a few that have only been stunned but I hold the racket on them and they sizzle.
