I've held this secret in the family for years. The one true way to swat a fly, or many flies, is with a dish towel or a t-shirt. Whereas wind resistance and easy-to-recognize shapes like fly swatters, shoes and magazines telegraph the fly to flee, they cannot recognize or feel the threat of the dish towel or t-shirt until it's too late. I can kill as many as ten flies in a row without one miss when I use a dish towel. It's really simple that it's laughable. Sometimes the fly is knocked silly and just sits there waiting for you to strike with the finishing blow.
Go ahead and try it. Works every single time.
