Fly Swatting
I used to work in a pub that had a bit of a fly problem. It was next door to a cow farm and the sheds where they did all of the milking so they were everywhere.

Nothing would work to get rid of them, fly paper, repellents etc.

I took to squashing the little bastards with a cocktail stick. Very Effective!
It was easiest when they were mating. 2 kills for 1 shot!

I managed to kill about 60 in an hour once. Bloody carcasses and pieces of flies all over the place.

I think 90 from another bored co-worker was the record. Can anyone beat that?

Length? about 6 inches long with a round bit at the end.

I find
vacuum cleaners to be quite effective.

I've used a vacuum cleaner on ants before....
Sucked them up with alot of ant powder.

There's always one idiot who opens the bag...

Spoons are surprisingly good.
The fly is more interested in the reflection of itself and doesn't notice the shiny metal crushingness until it's too late...
