On contact, or instantly? Not the same.
Flies absorb stuff though their legs, so they could possibly have brief contact and die from it after a fairly short while. They aren't very big. It wouldn't take long for a poison to work its way through their body.
Not to mention, I suggest that you be careful about beliving the manufacturers claims that he makes as he is trying to sell you a product and get your money away from you.

I bought these hanging hard plastic fly strip things. they were about a foot long, red and yellow. I put them in my rabbit building. the fly landed, took a bite and in less than 5 seconds went into violent spasms and died. killed hundreds with those things. Then the chickens ate all the dead fly bodies and didn't die.

You might want to look into using QUIKBAYT.

we like Golden Malrin
but we stopped using it after an episode of unexplained chicken deaths near one of the places we used the stuff.
Black Flag flying insect spray works well
as does this stuff

Quikbait is a Redneck betting game. Bet how fast a fly dies after landing on bait. Most don't make it out of the dish. The stuff works, but will work on dogs and cats too. I attach tuna cans to posts out of reach and put bait in the cans.

Fiebings 44 horse spray. We spray the horses, and the flys do drop right off. Also use in on wasps and they do drop to the ground and die.
And it stays on the horses for several days. I also use it on the dog, but haven't had reason to spray the cats or chickens.
It's not cheap, but we only go through about a gallon a year with three horses and lots and lots of wasps trying to build nests all over the property.

Countrygurl, your answer is probably setting on your kitchen sink. Dawn dishwashing detergent!
Get you a quart size spray bottle and fill it with cold water and then put in a couple tablespoons of Dawn. We use it all the time. When we see a fly, we reach for the spray bottle instead of the fly swatter.

My husband really keeps the flies down in our barn with sticky fly strips. They work great, he has to change them pretty often because they are so full. Diatomacious earth is also good, but not quick. Works in the long run.

Denatured alcohol in a mist bottle set to a thick spray. Hit them and they fall right out of the air.

Hair spray! You hold it over where the fly is sitting or flying, give it a good mist and it sticks up the wings and they cannot fly. Then, SWAT - you get 'em.

Google "C-EM-DIE" fly spray. I use it on barn flies. Kills on contact! It's amazing.
