We've got a bit of a fly problem here, so I put up these fly strips that ought to kill them.
Several hours later I noticed their little legs are still twitching and what not, Jesus christ I thought they'd get a quik death or something! How can I kill the ones on the strip quickly, and how do you guys deal with flies?

I have some Nepenthes pitcher plants that eat a lot when they have pitchers on them. Unfortunately they aren't in great health right now and haven't been making the pitchers.
Some friends who live in the country just use a vacuum cleaner to suck them up out of the air and off the windows.

Lord Of The Flies reference.
Flypaper used to have arsenic in it. Unfortunately flypaper that has insecticide in it is rare in NL, I never saw it.
You can do this though:

Get a fly swatter.
You might suck at first, but by the end of the summer you should be quite deadly.
I used to have flies, and I used the swatter so much, that all I had to do was pick it up and the flies would all disappear for a good ten minutes.
Generation after generation after generation of death by swatter puts the fear in em.

I got the reference, Asante. Not bad.
Thanks for the tips guys! I'll try to make a trap then, but first it's hunting time. (And taking down those strips... seriously, those things are evil or something.)

but for real like in the house i just take a shirt or a towel and keep htting em til they die. i just think its easier to use those since theyre bigger than fly swatters
those electric charged fly swatters are pretty cool too

I drowned the ones on the strip (Because fuck strips, too evil, I can't handle it!!!) And am now hunting down every last one of the buggers with a newspaper.
It's going to take hours, but at least it's honest.

Thanks. It looks like I collected them all, I think all of these species are present here.
Two houses from me is a... don't know the word, place where rich chicks ride horses? On the other side there is a sheep pasture, and 200 meters to the back there is a cow pasture.
This was inevitable.

Foxim and Propoxur are used in agricultural settings to kill flies swiftly. They have stuff that has a pheromone and when the flies come closer they get poisoned.

since this is a mushroom forum, here is a mushroom based remedy for flies.
get some Amanita muscaria. Dry the mushroom and grind it to powder. mix some milk and sugar, then add a good amount of powdered mushroom. then just set the bowl of milk out in an area that has lots of flies.

That would have been a really cool way to deal with it, but it's not the season for amanita's yet.
