Surely
The Ultimate power would be when a fly comes into your house and gets stuck behind the window.

Do you either
a. Open the window and try to shooo it out?
b. Get the nearest piece of junk mail and squish/crunch it against the window, leaving a funny coloured yellow and red smear which you never clean.

For me there really isnt a concious thought given, it really depends what mood Im in.

Sorry flies.

Sometimes they drive me to distraction.
It's almost as if they're put here to annoy, so I only give up and usher them to freedom through an open door when I've knackered myself out.

Otherwise, if i can, I stun them with a quick flick of a hanky or other piece of cloth then crush them in bog roll before flushing them into oblivion.

What is that yellow stuff btw? Looks disgusting; tastes of nothing whatsoever - just pointless invertebrate mush! Jaysus.

little bastards tend to divebomb me when I'm nodding off, leading to a rapid awakening not unlike a myoclonic jerk. Stationary insects are fine - loud, flappy ones (particularly daddy long legs and larger moths) have no place being where I'm trying to sleep.

Oh, and in answer; kill mozzies, remove anything else.

I get your
drift, but to squash or not squash a fly . . . the ultimate power?

Distinct lack of ambition there.

the fly might be a King or Queen
you never know the impact of the smallest of actions.
