What is the fly's strength?

Fly - the best fly among insects. In the chest Musca domestica( housefly) is hidden powerful "motor", which allows it to take off right from the spot. Wings making 200-300 strokes per second, provide the insect with a maneuverable, rapid flight and intrusive buzzing.

Thanks to all the above advantages, the fly turns into a jet fighter. However, if you reduce the current aircraft to the size of an insect, then he will not have the slightest chance to defeat the annoying fly in an air battle. So chasing an insect with a twisted magazine, towel, newspaper, it's like trying to shoot down a fighter with a medieval catapult. To kill a fly, it is necessary to act reasonably, according to a carefully designed plan.

In addition:

1. The size and arrangement of this pest's body provides the domestic fly with a rare survivability. Often you can see how a second after you slapped her hand, the fly, as if nothing had happened, flies unscathed. Mystic?- Far from it.
2. The complex faceted eyes of an insect consist of hexagonal ocelli - ommatidia, which have their own lenses and receptors. As a result, each eye fixes the emerging and disappearing objects in the field of view. Flies notice the slightest movement. Therefore, when it seems to you that you act like a super-high-speed "superman", for a fly you remain a crawling "snail".
3. Fly recognizes odors much better than we do, so she immediately senses spoiled food. Following the smell, the insect flies in an incomprehensible, bizarre trajectory, confusing us, and this prevents the fly from being killed on the fly.

What is the weakness of a fly?

Flies are not able to learn and gain practical experience of their defeats. Therefore, they can fight for hours in a closed window until they die, instead of finding an open space and fly out. This is very beneficial to play, to finally deal with the villains.

Insects attract all edible, as well as our food, rotting leftovers and excrement. Females look for suitable places to lay eggs, and for this they pick up again food and excrement. Of course, leaving an open bin to kill a fly is by no means the most enjoyable activity, but in the fight against an annoying pest, all means are good. The main thing is to clearly adhere to the goal.

Flies fly to the light: in the daytime in the windows, and at night - in the lamps and fire. Therefore, strategically manipulating the switch, you can lure the enemy into a trap.

• "Mr. Muscle".
• Polishing for furniture.
• Air freshener.
• Hairspray.

Method number 3.Using a rubber band

You can use any elastic: linen or elastic from cowards. Proceed as follows:

2. Place the other end of the rubber band with the same fingers of the other hand.
3. Lure a fly in a place that you can most easily aim at.
4. Sneak up close and aim from a distance of 30-50 cm

Method number 5.Tape from flies

In any store, buy a special tape from flies and hang in the kitchen and other places occupied by flies. But be careful not to fall into this trap yourself. Otherwise, you will have to think about how to remove the dead insects from the hair together with the stuck tape. And this is also not an easy question.

Helpful Hints:

• A magazine-type weapon discards a fly without harming it. Much more effective is the perforated fly swatter, as some of the air passes through the impact surface, resulting in the air flow is divided, and dodge it is much more difficult.
• You can try to suck a fly with a vacuum cleaner.
• Good remedy for flies - essential oils:
  • Cinnamon.
  • Nutmeg.
