I hate flies around food and work
surfaces and won't use insecticide sprays in a food prep area. So, every
morning starts with a rolled up newspaper and some aerobics.

Plastic fly swotters are available to buy really cheaply from everywhere
here in France. Strangely I've never noticed them for sale back in the UK.
Very effective and quicker to swot with than a rolled up newspaper since
they are much lighter.



I agree, we have several of these fly swotters and they are easily available
and only about 69p or 89p AFAIR. Perhaps you don't spend your holidays in the
right shopsg. It's very satisfying to use them - I obviously have a
bloodthirsty soul, and like Janet really hate flies in the kitchen.
