How to catch houseflies?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 58 points – 1 months ago

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

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.
