Advantages: Kills things dead, does what it says on the tin.

Disadvantages: Chasing flies is not much fun and you do look stupid.

I have absolutely no idea why, but during this summer and even now the weather is cooler, our house has suffered from a large amount of flys buzzing around. At one point, I counted 7 of the things flying around our living room. Being totally unprepared for this, we had no fly spray anywhere in the house to get rid of them. All the time we didn't have any spray, it was like they knew and were teasing us with the flying around.

A solution had to be found and the most obvious one is fly spray. A rather simple and effective method of clearing these vermin. A quick trip to Asda saw me purchasing a can of Raid Fly and Wasp killer. The only reason I purchased this one was due to recognising the blue can from my youth. It is very distinctive amongst all the other fly sprays stocked. It costs £1.99 at this present time, but I'm sure at times it is on offer, so keep your eyes open.

Now, the can is blue, it is 300ml in size and has the usual warnings and instructions printed on it. Now after purchasing this, it was as if the flies knew we had it. They went into hiding and would only come out when the can wasn't near us. Eventually, I got the chance to test it out.

This is the really difficult bit. If you haven't tried to spray a fly with fly spray before, well it's an interesting challenge. The things are pretty damn quicka dn when you spray it, they seemed to have already flown through that space and disappeared to another area of the room. You have to second guess where it is going to be next and spray in front of it, in the hope it flies through that area.

Keep trying and eventually you get lucky. This is where the magic happens. The fly buzzes into a window (don't know if that happens for everyone and is not stated as an effect on the can, it just seems to happen to me everytime) and seems to buzz into the window like a drunk fly. After a couple minutes of this, the fly drops to the floor, lands on it's back and circles around. Then it stops. I'm not going to lie to you people, the fly is dead!!! It's a miracle.

Now the great thing about Raid that I have found, is you can use it for other little creatures as well. It kills a spider pretty much instantly and will despatch any insect pretty easily. It has made me into a killing machine.

Summary: A great killing machine.
