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

    If you want to catch then when they land you can slowly approach them with both hands like you’re gonna clap. They will try to avoid one hand and fly to the other hand and you can catch it.

    Fan works. Bubble maker like the one on weddings can discourage fly and mosquitoes.

    I use rubber band like on a rubber band pistols to shoot them when they land.

    Let the friendly lizard and spiders stay around the house. They will help you get rid of them.
