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

    No. You may be using them wrong. You don’t swipe like a tennis racket. It creates a cushion of air that pushes the fly away, you need to go slower, but not too slow. Once you get the knack you’re swear by them.

    Though they’re much better for mosquitos than houseflies.
