I work in a theatre on lighting and today purely by accident I've found that fly spray works almost as good as aerosol haze such as 'Atmosphere' if you don't mind the smell. Just an observation.
I noticed that.I wish it was toxic. They changed something in fly spray some years ago, I don't know what, but you are better off trying to hit flies with the can rather than the contents; I think flies just use it as refreshing shower these days. For the occasional fly I find the best thing is two or three elastic bands fastened together and fired at the fly when it lands; they may be fast but they are not THAT fast.
In my immediate work environment they are not welcome. Outdoors I have a different attitude.Why would you want to kill a bee?

Sometimes seems to work the other way ...Does the pyramid shape concentrate psychic energy to knock them out?

This must be the same as Brake and Clutch cleaner. I was stung by a wasp a few years ago when working in the garage, The wasp was dead before it hit the floor. For some reason it doesn't have the same effect on spiders though, they just shrug it off.Electronic contact cleaner works incredibly fast for most any flying insect. Bees are dead before they hit the floor. I found this out back in about 1965 while using the contact cleaner when a bee happened to fly past me. It's been my favorite method ever since.

The toxic ingredient in some fly sprays was a very weak solution involving an variation on Organo-Phosphate.. Which is or was a sheep dip ingredient and at a high concentration it goes to form one of the compounds in chemical Nerve Agent so it is no surprising that the chemical make up was changed.I wish it was toxic.

But I have used the stuff on occasions all my life, so I'm pretty sure that the only danger it poses is if some dumb kid decides to spray it up his nose because some idiot Tiktok 'influencer' says it is a good idea. IMO, they'd have done better to leave it as it was and let Darwin's theory work to its full effect, while the rest of us normal people use it to kill flies.The toxic ingredient in some fly sprays was a very weak solution involving an variation on Organo-Phosphate..
