I'm thinking can of deodorant and a lighter? Get it when it lands on something. Not sure how happy the landlord would be though.

try just the deodorant first, a couple of hits with that should slow it down first.

Then you can go for the "dry shot"

You need two swatters, and move in fast. Apparently that confuses the fly's primitive 'brain'

Teatowel folded in half for a quicker swipe.

Wait for fly to land.

Distract fly by waving spare hand to one side. While he's watching that...

Belt fly as hard as possible, bearing in mind they take off backwards.

Pick up dead/dying fly and eject via catflap.

I had a wasps nest in my roof once. I stood there with a badminton racket and practiced for an hour. Must have taken out over 100 of the bds. And I didn't get stung once. Cos I'm a ninja of the night, see.
