Fly Zapper
10 Answers
Can't believe I am typing this - but want to let you know that I am throwing away my battery operated fly zappers.
I loathe and detest the "things" (flies) but when I use the zappers the flies appear to be in a lot of distress. when you stop the battery they come alive for a bit then you zap them again and this is repeated until they finally die. I do think this is cruel so am going to use an ordinary zapper (plastic thingmajig) - at least they die immediately.

You can spend lots of hard earned cash on fancy gadgets to terminate flies that enter your home but its fairly easy to make a home made fly trap from items you may have laying around the house.
Take a 2 litre plastic drinks bottle, cut the top off to form a funnel shape.
Drill a hole in the cap approx 1/4 inch diameter.
Put some bait in the base of the bottle to attract the flies (up to you, you don't need much).
Place the funnel cap facing down in the bottle, the put some tape around the top to hold it in place.
The flies can get in but can't get out and will die, but at least they die with a full stomach.
