kill flies and bees in the house

Here are two tips I use to kill flies and bees in the house:

1) Once they land, spray them with an aerosol hair spray. This will coat there wings and make them unable to fly. What happens next is up to you.

2) Use a popsicle stick and sneak up to them. Hold the stick in one hand and pull back the top with the other. When you get close enough, let it fly so that the tip crushes the insect in question.

You must be talented to be able to kill a fly with a popsicle stick. Also, I prefer not to get hairspray all over my counters, tables, windows, etc.

Um, there's this thing, it's called a fly swatter. It works pretty good too. Tends to be a little easier to hit the fly with it than a popsicle stick. But I guess if you're bored and looking for cheap entertainment, the popsicle stick could work too. Maybe it could be made into a drinking game?
