Any flies that fly into my house are given a chance to leave. If I can herd them out the window, they get to live and make lots of new baby flies.

On the other hand, their chances of getting a close up view of the fly swatter increase exponentially with every minute they spend refusing to leave and ignoring the fact that I'm literally showing them the exit.
