There's a massive fly in my living room

[AnotherPaul]

Please, does anyone have a foolproof way of capturing flies? Am tired of the magazine windmill technique.

I keep hearing people going on that you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar, so try

not the answer you're looking for, but I'd love to get my hands on one of these:

Bug-A-Salt

an american shotgun-type thing that blasts flies with table salt and kills them dead.

completely pointless but the 5 year old in me is screaming for one every time a big fly gets into the house.

I use one of these; they don't know what's hit them. Clean and efficient.

Giggi that is of course the fabulous and high-toned option we would expect from your good self.

But dang, I want me one o' them Ay-Salt gats.

When I was young my mothers cat used to swat them and eat them if he could.

She tried to get them out before he did.
