Why is it so hard to swat a fly?

i always found it easy catching flies, especially in air, but squishing their guyts all over my hands is what bothers me most.

an easy way to catch flies is to put rubbing alcohol in a squirt gun. even less than direct hits takes them out of the sky, and the alcohol cleans stuff in collateral damage.

Keep it trapped and walk to the sink, turn on faucet and throw it in.
