What’s your preferred method of killing flies?

[aishel]

I was laughing to myself in shul today because I had read this thread on Friday, and suddenly my rabbi is talking about killing insects as part of his drasha today. See attached photo.

Raid flying insect spray. It’s not perfect but definitely cheaper than the gun.

I'm wondering if there is a non-toxic version of it because I don't want to be spraying chemicals around.

Thanks, ordered and will add to the arsenal

Meh once it's in the bathroom a yarmulka works too

true but makes for good target practice.

[imayid2]

What's the range of it?
Can it kill a wasp?

Not very effective from more than about 4 feet, and that probaly pushing it. I would not try on a wasp, I use Raid for bees.

I use Raid for bees.

For bees, use the salt gun but load it with this:

Hisachdus pesach salt probably works for bees.. Seriously though isn't it good for bees? Multiple shots won't do it? I was considering buying it for the great black wasps we have in upstate. No flies BH indoors in Brooklyn.

Any personal experience with these on bees?

Being the multiple shots would be necessary, I’m scared to use it on something that fights back. If its point blank range and the gun is fully loaded it’ll probably do the job though

I don't understand the advantage of the gun over the zapper.

If you'll post it on DD I won't miss it

The insect doesn’t see it coming with the gun while with the zapper you have to hit it with the actual device. Also can work better for a crevice where the zapper doesn’t fit. Range is probably better too, though I suppose that depends on how long the handle of the zapper is.

Hand electric bug zapper.

More fun?

Just check out the video on the Amazon webpage. You can't do that with a zapper.

I'm totally pro the fun thing, some cons I guess is the reloading of salt that's needed and the mess it makes after.
