Philosophical Question.

Is fly spray cruel???

Yes, flies land in doggy poo and buzz annoyingly around your head, but do they deserve to have what amounts as acid sprayed on their bodies and left to die of horrific burns?

It will be the same for us being sprayed with hydrochloric acid and left to melt in the gutter.

I say this because their is a bloody great blue bottle buzzing around my home and I know their is some RAID fly spray in my cupboard.

to be honest i think no , remeber they start as maggots , they eat ***** and then sit on your food , kill them , and that is the only time i will ever condone killing , apart from putting norman the dog down .

Squash it with a newspaper ,using fly spray raises your risk of getting Parkinson's disease by a whopping 40% and you have to ask yourself can you afford to loose anymore brain cells?I take it we should add women to your list of pet hates right next to The Welsh!!

[garner]

I think a swat is alot [ kinder ] at least it kills them quicker.

I personally ignore flies, if they come in then I will open the window and let them out, I would rather do that than stink the place up with chemicals.

just because something looks ugly or is annoying shouldnt mean it has to die! flies have feelings too!

I have a beaded curtain hanging in front of the open back door and flies don't come in as they can't negotiate past it, it is very effective, i wish we could have screen doors like they do in the US.

[redhead23]

[Joe_the_Lion]

Not yet reddy. I am undecided but the critter won't fly out of the window!!!!

[cazzz1975]

just waft him in the direction, I know they are total idiots (banging into windows left right and centre) but they will go out if you waft it

Take it you're not a Buddhist then?
Otherwise you'd be frightened it might be your Grandad just visiting.
Fast, clean kill, please. Much more humane and kinder on the ozone layer.

[Joe_the_Lion]

fly spray enters the fly through its pores and attacks the nervous system it causes organ failure and also messes up its neural transmitters they are unable to reset themselves which account for the legs kicking and wings beating etc they would be exhausted at time of death but as deaths go not too horrible, rat poison is worse on the rat

"Raid" is a type of Nerve Agent used in chemical warfare , it attacks the central nervous system (the brain) which causes muscle spasms and twitching and a very unpleasant death. We have stocks of it at Winterborn Gunner in wiltshire (for research purposes only).
