I have a gadget that zaps them. It's in the shape of a tennis racket and works great. Like a hand held bug zapper.
I also have my little bug killer, Shortie. She may have short legs but she sure can catch a fly in mid air. She eats them. Eeewww.

DO NOT BUY WHILE SHELTER ANIMALS DIE!!
Get a few cats.
I meant to say get a few more cats. Ugh, Pat. Maybe more strips? Or a fly swatter?
Thanks, Cataholic. I already have 3 more cats than I'm allowed to have in this 2-room apartment (2 pets is "legal" maximum). None of them is much on fly-catching.
The strips have been totally useless. Not one fly has gotten stuck so far.
I got a fly swatter yesterday. Very little help, because so much of the time they don't land on flat surfaces.
On Monday I will call the apartment-complex management again and tell them the strips aren't working at all, see what else they can come up with.
Sigh, this is such a big pain in the @$$. There seem to be more of them just since this morning!

Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

Sorry, no help here. We're lucky to have cats who hunt them down. Unfortunately, they are unconcerned if they knock a bunch of glassware off the shelf in the pursuit of said fly.
Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.

Spray bottle with cleaner, and a paper towel to wipe up ... my only solution.

Any soap will do, it weighs them down so you can swat them, and leaves a clean spot afterwards!

We have a zapper thingy. havent used it in eons though. forgot even what it looked now. but my brothers dog hated it. hed growl when ever he heard something getting sizzled on it LOL
here be one:
http://www.amazon.com/Flowtron-BK-15...7381503&sr=1-1
but theres hundreds of diff bug zapper things out there. try Yahooing/Googling bug zapper an see what you get ^^
I looked at the one on the Amazon link. That's not something to have in the apartment, though!
It says: "Recommended not to be used within 25-feet of area intended for human activity, should not be attached to house or deck or other structures"
I just did some Google exploring. Looks like Sears (at the mall a couple miles from me!) has a good tennis-racket one that just might do the trick! I must check that out tomorrow.
Thanks for the suggestion, Vette!

And I love it.
Warning,
It's a little hard to cock, but it's fun and if you don't mind cleaning up a little salt?
I made a sling for mine and keep it ready to rock.
