Title: Fly spray.
Post by: Field Marshal Dr. Opti on 26 May 2015, 11:36:25: Has anyone noticed that commercial fly spray in aerosol form is far from effective?

On average, it probably takes half a dozen applications until your average fly meets it's maker.

Well.....I have the solution in the form of WD40.

One quick squirt and just about any variety of house fly instantly drops like a stone.

Job done. :y

Nothing is perfect though and Mrs Opti is now moaning about the state of the sofa and curtains.

Women. :-\ :-X
