    Go outside leaving your door slightly ajar.
    Do your best impression of something dead.
    The fly will immediately come out there
    to land on you because flies are intrigued
    by dead things. Make a sudden movement.This
    will make the fly feel silly and he will fly
    away.

    Make one of them teleporter things from "the fly" and then get it inside one and then put the other one outside and bobs your uncle!!

    I have the a/c on so when I see a fly I open the window and push the screen back a little and they always feel the heat from outside and when they get close to the screen I shut the window and out they go. I hope that made sense...?

    You can get this stun-spray which stuns the fly for s certain ammount of time, giving you the advantage of taking it outside without harming it =]

    If you have a door with a screen in it, wait until the fly is batting itself on the screen (flies will head towards the light where the screen is in the daytime), then open the door and shoo it back outside.

    If the fly is trapped inside when it's dark outside, turn off all of the inside lights, leave a porch light on and the door open a little. The fly will go toward the light!!

    I have caught them by the wings on occasion, but that is rare.

    You can always wait a month and pick up its body which will die of natural causes after a 20-30 day lifespan.

    I suppose you could get really good with a net also.

    I believe I recall seeing a device at brookstone or sharper image that allows you to vaccuum an insect into a chamber where they are suspended in air and then you can go outside and blow it back out. I am thinking about getting one myself.
