Do you have a fly in the house? Do you need to get rid of it quickly? Sure, you can catch her with your hands and free her outside the house, but sometimes killing her is easier.
Steps
Method 1 of 2: Squeeze it
Step 1. Wait until the fly has stopped
It is easier to hit it if it doesn't fly. Stay hidden! The fly will probably surprise you before you surprise her!
If it's in a place you don't like, move the air around the fly a bit. It will be forced to go somewhere else (and hopefully outdoors). If you know it is there but you don't know where it is, turn off the TV and any other source of noise to understand where it is
Step 2. Lurk behind the fly
Close enough to deliver the blow and kill her, but not close enough to scare her and cause her to fly again.
It is an art. You are in front of an escape artist. Long before flying off, the fly's brain calculates the location of the looming threat, evaluates an escape plan, and orients its legs to escape in the opposite direction. This whole process takes place in about 100 milliseconds from the moment the fly has identified the fly swatter. The latter can be seen from all directions (the fly has a 360 ° field of view)
Step 3. Hit the fly
You have to do it quickly and accurately. If flies are a constant problem, start practicing and training to be stealthy and to achieve your goal (and clean, close doors and windows).
The fly decides to run away at the last second. What you need to do is figure out which direction it will go and aim there. You have to beat her at her own game. Try to take her to a corner to limit her escape routes
Step 4. Clean
Make sure you clean up what's left of the fly after you squash it. Or you can leave it there and disgust your family with a stain on the wall.
You can use any type of detergent. And that's double that if your victim was one of those huge, fat buzzing flies
Method 2 of 2: Asphyxiation
Step 1. Get a spray bottle
Almost everything works. Basically if it's something you shouldn't ingest, neither should the fly. However, the products you can find in the bathroom or kitchen work better than others.
Hairspray works too, but you'll have to completely soak the fly
Step 2. Spray the fly
Get as close as possible without frightening her. And pam! Get the spray and drown the fly in the toxic liquid! He will have no escape.
Make sure she's dead and not just stunned. If you don't, he could bounce back and resurrect! If you use hairspray this is even more important. Make her suffer as little as possible while doing this task
Step 3. Discard the fly and clean the area
Do this if you don't want a sticky halo on the wall or wherever you have sprayed, especially on the windows.
