Re: Its all about a FLY
Redneck bad mitten? Beer can crusher? Sure, but can it be used to scrape the splat smeared carcass off the wall or kitchen counter? It is that time of year for the bugs to start bugging me!

Re: Its all about a FLY
I picked one up at the local dollar store. ($4 store) Comes with serrated end for corner stabbing in window sills, tweezers for yuck, and a dustpan. Not military spec though.

They make some really nice sticky traps for window corners. They work really well. When you want to get serious though go buy some StarBar fly bait. Little blue crystals that you put on a plate, flies go right to it and take one bite spin around and die within seconds.

Re: Its all about a FLY
Sergeant Swat has a sense of humor.
Fly's not much of a problem here in West Virginia, us Ridge Runners are too poor to generate much garbage. We have "Stink Bugs", they prolificate in Washington D.C. too. Yearly invasion has started. While selecting a socket from my wall hanging Craftsman tool set yesterday several had made a home in one. Checked the rest 90% of them too. Had to vacuum them all out.
Florida has "Palmetto Bugs", roaches on steroids. Sgt. Swat wouldn't stand a chance. Hit them with your #9 and they just haul their smashed bodies off dragging guts as they go.

Re: Its all about a FLY
Right now we have our yearly visit from the Fish Flies/Mayflies. The one day was pretty thick. There are clouds of their larvae or dead bodies in the lake, and they are all over the cars and buildings. They don't bother me too much, well maybe a bit.

They bother me, I had one day to fish for pickerel this past week on lake St. Claire and the fish flies ruined it!

... has been shown to only aggravate bears. This thread made my day, thanks, Eric!
Here's mine. I have a couple of them. Tney were a $Buck each two summers ago at the dollar store. Why I didn't buy a whole case, I'll never know.

My kid has one of these and it will, literally, smoke a red wasp.
Having been an electronic technician and thus accustomed to having electrons course through my body, I decided to have him let me experience it firsthand. I would guess about 10kV, you will notice it for sure.
Don't put it on your tongue, even if clean , it is more of a jolt than a 9-volt battery.

Re: Its all about a FLY
I'm down for a game of redneck badminton
The last time I used a fly swatter it shattered into about 50 pieces, LOL. The swatter was probably over 40 years old LOL.
Forget the fly swatters, get one of these!
