Flighs are well known to be killable by the application of a grid of high-voltage electrickal wires.
However flighs are also fairly mobile and tend to fly away from where ever you have put your hand-held high-voltage wire array.
What is needed is an array of high-voltage wires that sweeps regularly through the entire air-space of your abode.
Problems: furniture and other objects.
Solution: All furniture and other objects are (a) built-in, and (b) formed from thin slices arranged parrallellilly, perpendicular to the direction of sweep of the high-voltage wire array.
Now the array can sweep through your house at regular intervals, zapping any flighs which might have arrived in your abode since the prior sweep.
Optionall accessory is a little thingy that goes beep just before the array sweeps though your abode, giving you enough time to get out of the way before you too are zapped.-- pocmloc, Aug 21 2020 sp: Phligh-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Aug 21 2020 I see no drawbacks whatsoever.-- RayfordSteele, Aug 21 2020 What could possibly go wrong ?

Exactly, make sure that the grid can deliver significant current, perhaps a large capacitor bank? it's the only safe way.-- bs0u0155, Sep 01 2020 // safe //
Please explain why you bothered to include that entirely irrelevant adjective in your annotation; after all, it's not very "safe" for flying insects ...-- 8th of 7, Sep 01 2020 //explain why you bothered to include//
Say the flying insect in question had recently been squidging around in some putrid pile of pathogenic poo. Now, you zap it with modest power, a portion of the insect conducts current and it's water content rapidly vaporizes into steam propelling the remaining parts in a parabolic poo- precipitation. OR you could have some kick to the system, rendering the whole insect a perfect purified plasma.-- bs0u0155, Sep 01 2020 I was about to post that link, [kdf]!-- pertinax, Sep 07 2020 // what’s the worst that could happen? //
