Well, the mistake most people make is to raise the swatter high, the bring it down on the fly, but because flies see everything almost in slow motion, they see it coming a mile off (they have alomst 360 vision and we're far too bog to get directly in their miniscule blind spot.)
So what I do, I get as close to it as I can without it flying off, lift the swatter without bringing your arm too far up or back, then just quickly and sharply tap it.
You don't have to pelt it hard, they aren't the strongest things and a well-placed tap should either stun them or damage their wings to the point of not being able to fly any more.
Then they are at your mercy!! Muhahahaha!! [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
