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. They clearly have little lives and experiences, however different from ours. What few experiments there are seem to indicate that at least some don’t experience pain, which is great news, but even that’s not completely conclusive just due to being under-researched, and due to it being a ridiculously diverse subphylum.
