I did this experiment - sprayed a fly with Lynx while it was sitting on a bunch of bananas - and the conclusion I reached was that Lynx does not kill flies (I have never understood why some aerosols kill insects but others don't, because it always seems to me that the way insect sprays kill insects is by more by smashing their bodies with the force of the spray than anything else.)
However, hitting a fly really hard with some rolled-up computer print-outs, while it sits on top of a bottle of whisky, does kill it, and also makes you feel physically sick because the guts splatter out onto the paper and it's disgusting.
