> I think repeatedly slapping them with a pretty soft plastic contraption until they stop moving is even harsher

It's soft to you, not to the fly. You don't slap a fly "until it stops moving". When you swat a fly, it explodes.

Not the big ones. The first slap stuns them at best, sometimes not even that.
