I use big rubber bands to bring 'em down. Sometimes I can get them in mid-flight. Kind of messy, but fun! Snapping 'em with a rag also works, but it's harder.

 

If you want to slow 'em down, hit them with some compressed air (turn the can upside down so it blasts out the propellant). The colder they get, the slower they move. Then they're easier to nail.

 

Sure sounds like a videogame in the making to me.

My old dog Mario loved chasing after flies when they got in our house.

Last week a hornet got in the house. Rather than swat it, I sucked it up with the central vacuum.

 

I'll have to try out the rubber bands the next time a fly gets in the house. Normally I just grab the flyswatter and wait for the bug to land somewhere.

Last summer, a bee got in the house! Having been stung only twice in my life, I didn't want a third, so it was hanging out near the window and boom! Hit it with a phone book.
