Comments on: How to Kill a Fly with Your Bare Hands

on 12/24/2007 While I agree that flies can be annoying, they are far fro m useless!... in fact, if the Earth didn't have these little flying doody/rotten food/carcass eating scavengers, our world would have piles of stinky rotting stuff lying around. Fortunately, they find that sort of stuff delicious and take care of it for us by eating it up.

So, while I certainly don't want them flying around my house, I certainly don't want all of them killed... I just want them outside, doing their job for the Earth.

Now I know why I've always been always able to catch them in my hand. ( your info in step one ) I swish my hand just above them and close it as I pass over them. I almost always catch them. I then slam them off of a hard surface. ( they bounce quite well ) while they are disoriented I step on them. No filthy squashed fly in my hand. GOOD ARTICLE ( 5 STARS )

on 12/16/2007 Theres an easier way, SLOWLY place your hand over the top of the fly and slowly squish it. Its that easy, they dont see slow movements, and they cant see whats above them.
