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

    Yeah this is my method as well. Glass cup, very slowly descending from directly above them and they don’t seem to detect it.

      Hmm. I’ll have to try going slow. To date I’ve gone fast just because I figured they’d notice at some point.
