FRUIT FLIES
PEST CONTROL
There are so many devices to kill the flies.
Flyswatters usually consists of a small rectangular or round sheet (some 4 inches (10 cm) across) of lightweight, flexible, vented material (usually thin metallic, rubber, or plastic mesh), attached to a lightweight wire or plastic handle about 1 foot (0.30 m) to 2 feet (0.61 m) long.
Fly guns are a derivative of the flyswatter, uses a spring-loaded plastic projectile to mechanically “swat” flies.
Fly bottle, disposable fly traps, flypaper (also known as fly sticker, fly strip, fly ribbon, or fly tape) attracts flies to trap them to the sticky adhesive.
Electric flyswatter are hand-held devices that resemble badminton rackets or tennis rackets, which became popular worldwide in the late 1990s.
