I find cheap deodorant works eventually.

Use it with a lighter, it works much better.

Ha, I've got a bottle of that shit at home. It really is almost totally useless. I end up using the pressure of the spray coming out to literally push the fuckers through my open french windows.

The flies that wander into my house have taken to spinning in endless circles around an unlit ceiling lamp. What the fuck is the attraction to it? Is there something essential to the air in the middle of my dining room to their mating ritual? I swear I never saw flies do this when I were a nipper.

>French windows
Are you a posho?

The easiest think is to just chase them out of the window. Shut the room's door, open the window as far as possible then every time the fly flies towards you, stick your hand in front of it to scare it back towards the window. It will be out in two minutes tops.

I've noticed this too. They congregate under the lamp in my living room, and underneath one of the CCTV monitors at work.

I'm presuming that in their tiny insect guidance systems, such features protruding from an otherwise blank ceiling present the only navigational anchor and they get stuck there. Total guess mind.

Always worked for me, but maybe I'm patient enough not to expect the little bastards to drop dead immediately on contact.

M8s you want to get yourselves one of these. Even if you're not swatting them out of the air, just picking up the stunned ones and grilling them on the surface is incredibly satisfying as they burn and twitch.

I'm not a psychopath, honestly.

That one pictured is a cheap one, it's worth the couple of quid extra investing in the better ones if you can find them solely because the higher voltage means they can fry wasps. The cheaper ones just stun them.

Yes, after I posted that I realised I wanted one for my new house, so I've now purchased 'The Exterminator' which the Amazon reviews say is worth the money as you state.

^{Bought it direct though, fuck the tax-dodging scum.}

You can just get the cheap one and bodge a 9v battery in there instead of the AAs it comes with. They pack a nasty punch after that.

I touched one of those once, a wasp-killer. Hurt.
