Yes. Good here innit.
My friend has got one of those things you just said, but she don't like the smell of the frying flies.
I won't use any fly sprays, hate the smell of them.
Anyway, no way do I want to spray those chemicals around in my home. The spray falls onto worktops, dogs water bowl & toys, the floors etc, they don't only hit the fly.
Many years ago I had a wasp spray, but stopped using it because the wasps didn't die instantly. They would just start going crazy and zooming about everywhere, and I felt either me, or the dogs were very likely to get stung.
I swear by the quick, clean and chemical free little 'hoover' thing, or a good old fashioned Swat.
The insect sucker-upper is brill for wasps, bees, moths, spiders, flies . . anything.

Glad you're pleased with it Foxy.
I'd be lost without mine.The additional piece of tube is handy too, to extend it when an insect is high up the window/wall.
The battery lasts for ages too, I've only had to replace it once, and this is the third year of use.
