All you gotta do is get some cow dung and put it over there in the corner and they won't bug you anymore!
 
A good Channel perfume does it too! A bit expansive, but at least it will be effective!

You sure it's a fly and not a political survey taker?

Well it's still there today. I'm thinking of getting one of those frogs with the long tongues.

Wow, sounds hard to find!  Every frog I've ever heard of only has one tongue.

These things are the bees knees for catching flies by the feet

Fly traps gross me out. I had a real problem with fruit flies a few years ago so I hung fly paper in my kitchen. First of all the glue on those things is like the stickiest most viscous substance in the world and good luck if you get it on your fingers. Second, every time I looked at the papers they were covered in dead or dying flies, many of them visibly struggling to get free. I almost felt sorry for the little beggars, even though they're probably just biological machines with no self awareness. 
 
Now mouse glue traps, they're the worst. I once had a client call me and say "I have glue traps down in my larder and I know they're probably all full by now. I'm too scared to go in there and deal with them so I'll give you $20/mouse to get rid of them." I couldn't say no to that kind of cash so I breezed in there full of zip, and immediately started quivering at the knees to see 15 baby mice screaming and writhing on these traps, some of them had torn their fur and their skin trying to get free. I really freaked out and didn't know what to do with them so I just loaded the traps into a trash bag and threw it out. Some of the traps were stuck together and the mice were overlapping them, so that when I picked up one trap, the mouse would come with it but half of its pelt tore off and stayed on the other trap. It was gruesome beyond words. Still, I got paid $300.

Spiders are good too!
 
In Brazil, we had those long sticky strips that you hang from the ceiling ... it was rather ... amusing to remove it the next day with 457 flies on it! For a kid, anyway! But we had no toys when we were in Brazil, so you can imagine the ...

Fly traps gross me out. ...



Knowing what flies prefer to climb around on, I find living flies more disgusting than fly traps.  There are other types of things that kill flies without trapping them.  Two downsides to them for me.  A) They chemically attract and poison the flies, and B) The poison takes a while to work, so the poisonous dead flies are literally scattered about in unpredictable locations.

Hi,
 
Or at mom's place at the lake, at night, we have those blue zappers ... and man ... we have to clean those things up once a week, not because of the big bugs, but the flies!
