Decent fly killer

[alone wolf]

I've had a can of Raid fly killer for about 20 years but now I need to replace it. One short blast from my 20 year old can knocks flies out of the sky almost instantly, they are practically dead before they hit the ground. I was going to replace my old can with another can of Raid but reviews tell me the manufacturers have changed the formula around 2024 and the new product is terrible and ineffective. I am seeking recommendations for the old Raid formula in a different can, if one exists...

There's probably some law been brought in against whatever was in your old can. The new stuff does work but you have to use about half a can of it to kill anything and then your room smells of it for the next two days.

The old stuff was banned years ago.

Electric fly swatters or bug guns are fun.

This stuff works pretty well:

Bug-a-salt.

They haven't banned table salt (yet). Great fun for fly killing.

Bug-a-salt is so much fun

If screwfix can make it why can’t Raid?

Aldi do one that kills them virtually the same as the old Raid

Active ingredients of my 20 year old Raid can:

"tetramethrin, 0.35% (0.35g/100g), d-phenothrin, 0.125% (0.125g/100g), d-cis, trans-allethrin 0.10% (0.10g/100g)"

They don't make them like this any more. Everything is dumbed down and st
