Fly swatter

No, but I'm starting to believe they are immortal (Highlander-style): Unless you cut off the head (or destroy it with a good wack), they rise again...

Maybe the fly is a reincarnated dog, it thought you wanted it to roll over and play dead.

Durndest thing I've ever seen, well,  maybe except for some drunk honey bees

 

And, no, I've not been at the falling-down water

I'm not convinced the bees were the only ones partaking here....

hahahha, yes, I agree with you. This is the best that people could think of to combat harmful and annoying flies. I remember my grandfather said: "This is not your worktime, this is a fly swatter with a leather tip, not a single fly will fly away from me."

When I was in the  Philippines the flies were very bad. I had a 1 gallon glass jar on the table with sugar water inside of it.

The jar is deep enough so you can put the lid on it before they fly out. 

We also had re-up bull frogs who roamed around eating flies.

How is it a fly can find its way into room thru a 1/4 inch hole but can't find its way out thru a door hole 6ft by 3 ft?

Actually I'm pretty sure they don't need a quarter inch! But didn't you lament the lack of targets to test your swatter? Be careful what you wish for...

,   but one fly a plague does not make. By the time I got my swatter it had got trapped on the sticky fly-paper

[Klara]

That's what the sticky flypaper looks like in my living room. And there's another long one under the desk lamp. Do you feel better now?

[fredk]

yaaay! I can cut the first notch on my eco-friendly fly eliminator.

I got one real good this evening. I have the blud-lust now, just need more victims

[Klara]

Congrats!
