Man shares genius hack to get rid of flies… all you need is a torch | The Sun

THERE'S nothing more annoying than pesky flies annoying you when you're trying to enjoy the warm weather.

But one man has shared a genius hack to get rid of the critters – and all you need is a torch.



Jeffrey took to TikTok to post a video demonstrating the hack, as he said: "Life hack if you want to kill flies."

He then took a torch, aimed it at the fly and got closer and closer until he swiftly squished it with the top of the torch.

Jeffrey then turned the torch off to show the dead fly on the torch bulb.

"Found this out by accident. Flies don't stand a chance," he captioned his video.
