I checked out few sites....Mythbusters and several more that confirmed the claim.......so me an my pea brain thought that may be a helpful, environmentally safe, cheap way to do it. So sorry I ruffled your feathers. I compelled you to get your club out as a result of me peddling horseshit. I sincerely apologize, I'll be much more careful in future. That's a good lesson for me.

Clean out the protein sources feeding them and in the drains too and use fly strips.

Would you prefer to be told you have spinach in your teeth or should I let people laugh at you at your expense?

Get a bottle or cup fill with some dish soap, water and vinegar. You don't need much soap a few drops but mix around it's to break the liquid surface tension. The vinegar if to attract them, the water to drown them. You could just use soap and vinegar. Works great for smaller flies, for larger flies like house flies just use fly strips\fly paper.
