| 1459552 | 2019-03-29 19:34:00 | www.consumer.org.nz Includes recommendations on best brands and: What’s in them? Synthetic pyrethroids, such as esbiothrin and tetramethrin, or natural pyrethrin, which is made from a species of the chrysanthemum plant, are the main active ingredient in fly sprays. These “knock down” agents interfere with a fly’s nervous system, causing paralysis. A fly’s digestive system can break down these ingredients, which is why some recover. For this reason, some products also contain synergists, such as piperonyl butoxide or N-octyl biocycloheptene dicarboximide (MGK-264 for short). Synergists don’t kill the flies but delay the breaking down of the active ingredients, giving them longer to work. |

That's we we been using for the last few years, they work well, put a few around the house, esp if theres certain areas the fly's like to gather, always a party on the fly strip :D Leave them up for a few months then pull down and replace if wanted. We got them from Bunnings. www.bunnings.co.nz Just wear gloves when unrolling the sticky stuff gets everywhere and bloody hard to wash off. |

| 1459557 | 2019-03-31 19:57:00 | Spray them with petrol , they wont like that . Or hold a lighter to the flyspray nozzle & burn them to death. As your house burns down be confident that most insects will be killed off in the flames :-) |
