The flyswatter is an old standby that has worked forever. It gets the job done. If you have kids, give them the swatter and let them have at it. The fly won't stand a chance.

Flies can get in your house through the tiniest crack or crevice. the best way to avoid houseflies is to keep your windows closed, your garbage under control in your house, your garbage can clean, move the outside garbage can away from your house and especially out from under windows), keep your bathroom clean, and don't leave dirty dishes around.
Flies are attracted to smells, so the more odor free you can keep your house, the better!!
If one does get in, I would suggest smacking the heck out of it with a fly swatter!!

Don't leave food sitting around where flies can breed. Keep garbage can clean, too. Make sure screens are tight so more flies can't get in. Those sticky spiral fly-catchers that you hang from the ceiling are good, if you don't mind seeing them hanging in your house. Have several fly swatters so there is always one nearby when you see a fly!

Best thing is if you can prevent them from coming in. But once they are already in the house I think swatting is probably best. There are fly sprays that really work well, but I figure they probably aren't very good to breath in. If you are going to be out of the house, you can spray before you go, or set off a bomb.

If you have an empty pop bottle, fill the bottom with honey or maple syrup. The flys will land in it to eat it, and get stuck! Take care!

By crapping in a room. When the fly lands, that's when you smack it.

a shot gun, or a hand gun (preferably a magnum 357 with silver winchester bullets)

RAID! No, flyswatter--Raid might hurt you more than the fly.
