How to catch houseflies?
The weather has finally warmed up here and now there plenty of super annoying houseflies. They're way to fast to swat and have an annoying habit of landing on you.
I've tried Google's suggestion of water/vinegar and a bit of dish soap in a bottle, but they don't seem to go for it at all.
I'm up for trying anything, please make suggestions!
Edit: Thank you to all for your suggestions. So far I've tried the idea of spraying them with surface cleaner which appears to work well

I have a BUG-A-SALT that attached a laser sight on. It can take out a fly from a few feet away. And it makes it fun.
Seems kinda messy to be shooting salt all over your living space, though.
Well, you can lick it right up after and get your extra post-workout sodium and protein.
At least its salt, quite inert, not sugar
It's really just a small pinch of salt that comes out
fellow bug-a-salt owner here. can confirm this works great and makes it fun.

They got an EOTECH Holo attachment?
Just attach a short picatinny rail!
LOL, that's way fancier than the one that came with mine. Kids broke it, but you got me thinking on rolling my own.
Maybe I can't shoot for shit, but the laser is a must for me. YMMV, but I aim a little ahead of the bastards from about 6-8". I nail about 9 of 10 if I'm careful.
After watching their promotional video with a French Swedish Chef blasting flies on sweets while doing a dance I'm sold.
I wonder how that fares against cockroaches...
Not great against hard shelled insects in general. It doesn't phase Junebugs unless you catch them right and they lose some legs but that feels cruel even for stinkbugs.
They have a high power one for those bastards.
