these are not your ordinary house flies. these are flies on steroids. one landed and i had the perfect opprotunity but i was so mesmerized by how big it was i couldn't stop looking at it long enough to grab the swatter. I have killed a few with the swatter but most get away. apparently i either have a really bad aim or they are faster then i am giving them credit for. They are super fast and they are so incredibly loud. They seem to come from nowhere. I need some ideas to get rid of them before i pull out the shot gun LOL. any ideas are appreciated.. the one that helps me get rid of these little pests gets the 10 points.
Thanks in advance to all

OMG ..are they flies from Jurassic Park...they may be invincible or try a really big swatter. I bought a swatter from Wal-Mart $2.99 that is in badminton racket form .Takes small AA batteries- fries them. Also a good attention getter of somebody ignoring you or pissing you off ! lol

Flies are gross, and huge flies are even more disgusting.
Sometimes we find more than 10 flies in the house...that's when one of them laid eggs and they hatched. Look by the windows for any flies just standing around and you might find the source. Also look in trash cans where there might be a food source for the flies.
I've found the best way to get rid of them is to just kill them one by one.
Flies are usually attracted to light, so they'll go to windows during the day. I just use a fly swatter or folded newspaper (about 12" x 2") and smack a fly by the window....make sure to confirm the kill. I then move to the next window and on and on. It may take several minutes to do this, but you'll eventually get them all.
You can also spray them with insecticide at the windows, but this is not a good idea if you have young children or pets that go by the windows.
Good luck, and I hope you get rid of those nasty flies quickly.

Don't you know it's none of our business? You should keep your personal business personal.
