Not sure where to put this , but the flies are in the lounge right now.

I considered,"All creatures great and small...."

What's currently the best fly spray easily available- ideally through Amazon.

Raid (blue aerosol) does the job. Anything else you can generally get in the shops seems useless.

Raid blue top is weak.

Errr . . . Why are they there? Did you invite them in?

The subtly named "TOX" is my flyspray of choice. Get near them with it and they start suffering a misfire in 30 seconds before they suffer full engine failure and go down. Get a direct hit and they are out.

A hardware store, circa 1978:

"Is this spray any good for flies?"

"Certainly not Sir, it kills them stone dead."

Sano K300 is effing brilliant. If you can find it. Easily purchased in mainland Europe, bl**dy hard to get in the UK.

Plug one of these, or similar in and let it do its thing. Don't be tempted by LED tubs (ask me how I know...)

Welders first aid burn spray will drop them in flight!

It freezes them instantly It doesn’t kill them though.

Blue aerosol mate, same as ‘black top’ referring to. Agreed it’s some good gear.

They are not the same.
Blue plastic cap is household strength found in supermarkets
Black plastic cap is extra strength found in hardware stores.
Both cans are blue metal. The different plastic tops signify the differebt strengths
