Kill a fly in mid-air?

These things are the absolute best ever. Flys, wasps, you name it. Even if they’re on the window: just lay it flat and hit the button. The dead critter also tends to stay stuck in the open mesh, so it’s simple to walk it outside, give the thing a rap with your hand, and the dead bug gets flicked off.
Highly recommended.

It won't fly(pun intended), since the fly has to jump to start flying. I can still catch flies with bare hands; usually, I feed them - to a spider >:D >:D >:D
DavidAlfa:
It's a lot more satisfying watching them exploding with a loud Bang! instead catching them with your hands.
Nominal Animal:
Fruit flies and the smaller bloodsucking varieties are too small for the electric swatter to zap them. They just pass through. >:(

Yesterday I hand clapped a fly. Unfortunately I managed to catch it directly between the heels of my hand.
Then I have to clean the splat off.
Sometimes you don't expect to actually catch them and then regret it when you do.
