Is there a more humane way to do it?


Simply guide them out of the window with a magazine or newspaper.

If that fails, fly spray.

How does hitting them work? I've tried that and it never does - they just fly away/continue flying.

Do flies suffer from BO? I've never noticed it before. Where do you spray the deodorant, under the wings or legs.

Do you use fly spray as a deodorant?
Don't do that

I think I tried it but then didn't

I hate flies but it takes too long to kill them aswell as it being cruel.

instead of physically abusing these poor insects with a newspaper, just buy the Guardian and read it out loud until they lose the will to live.

Just don't kill them, they don't cause any harm. I like flies and I have very fond memories of spending summers on the beach and letting flies walk all over my skin. I really enjoyed the tickling sensation it produced, believe it or not it's actually a really relaxing massage. Ever since then I've had a soft spot for flies.
If no one killed flies then they'd be all over everyone, everywhere

Are you meant to read The Guardian? What?

I thought its sole function was to either wipe the proverbials after taking a dump...

Deodrant + a lighter is the most humane way of killing anything.
Kill the ****ing flies , preferably the cruelest way possible. they are disgusting ,they kill millions of our pets each yet, one way through flystrike. I absolutely hate them and I am probably one of the biggest animal/insect lovers you could ever know but I hate flies so much, they are vile

Agreed! What is 'flystrike' though?!
