The weather has finally warmed up here and now there plenty of super annoying houseflies. They’re way to fast to swat and have an annoying habit of landing on you.

I’ve tried Google’s suggestion of water/vinegar and a bit of dish soap in a bottle, but they don’t seem to go for it at all.

I’m up for trying anything, please make suggestions!

Edit: Thank you to all for your suggestions. So far I’ve tried the idea of spraying them with surface cleaner which appears to work well

    It would be simple to make it corded with a wall adapter.

      I know right?!

      But where do you find a 3 volt DC adapter these days?

        Well I have like 3 decades of wall adapters collected, so I would dig one out with the right specs lol. You can find the exact voltage and amperage one on Amazon or any number of electronics suppliers.

          I do have a spare box of old wall wart adapters put up in storage, I might have to check those someday.

          Thankfully not yet though, those two days were enough to kill all the flies we had at the time. 👍
