I have used above to great avail however after many years use they have become extremely limp. I bought new ones which were 3 in a pack and right away I knew they are too limp too - the flies get away.
Where can I buy a strong one. I don't want electric etc ones. thanks
I just pull open the net curtains and usher the fly outside with a cushion. Sometimes it's easy and others it's like playing at Wimbledon but I suppose I could always see the cardio benefit of the David and Goliath, Woman vs Fly.
Otherwise use a hardy fly spray from the pound shop but watch out as once you spray them they attack for a few minutes before dying.
I think i may pick up a good one in a local hardware shop a cuppla miles away. If I do I will buy 2 one for upstairs and down - i can't stand the funkers!!!
They're horrible JennyJoan especially the giant Bluebottles which appear to be getting larger and larger each year. I'm pretty sure I saw one the size of a golfball the other evening. Scary.
too many windows and too big - most of them are like the size of shop windows. no, the oul swatters (durable) ones are great - I'm great at killing the funkers LOL
## Someone I once worked with could kill a fly by cutting them in half with a cooks knife. His success rate was breathtaking! ##
That reminds me of when I was a kid Eccles.
Me and my elder brother use to catch the bed bugs, put them on paper, and burn them alive on the gas cooker ring!
I have one of those electric tennis racquet types. Don't have to catch them in the air - if they are on a window you cover them with racquet and they roast when they try to fly off!
