Well for now.... this wins. There's always a lower than the low though.

in college, i set up the following b/c i didn't want to get out of bed to turn on/off the switch

Don't forget...if you're not certain whether the electric flyswatter is working...just hold the button and stick your tongue on it...like you do with a 9v battery. After all...it's only powered by a couple of "D" cells...:whiste:

What happened to the old fashioned, MANUAL fly swatter? I can't say any fly I've swatted one with has actually flown away... but apparently some people have this problem that they needed to make an ELECTRIC fly swatter. I suspect you won't feel as victorious when you finally kill the bastard flying around your abode.

This review sounds like an ATOT member:

"Where can you have this much fun this cheap? Bugs on the wing are easy targets and the smaller they are the louder they pop when you zap them! Bigger pests just sit there, curl up and start smoking with little sparks - which is still cool. But dinky bugs just vaporize with a significant "pop". You just can't find that kind of long term entertainment for three bux anywhere else!"

You just joined the Internet or something? These things have been around for 20+ years.

There is also a USB version that you can use to charge the battery and when you dock it it uploads your score to some website where you can compare it with others.

We have an electric flyswatter and it is absolutely useless against large houseflies. I mean, you can nail 'em with it and it stuns them... but they're still alive. And if you shock them again while they're down, it blasts them back into consciousness like they were a rechargeable battery just waiting for some juice. The only effective way we've found to use it is to stun the bastards, let them hit the ground, then step on them. Waste of fucking time compared to a quick swat.

Works great on mosquitoes though.

I wouldn't mind one. It's so annoying making a club with a newspaper and then tracking the effer for ten minutes only to have it survive a hit.

Those things are great fun. And cheap.

Seriously though, with the old fly swatter you have to swat it against something. You don't have to do that with these. Just make contact and listen for the tiny screams of your victims.

Sig-worthy, hehe. I've had a lot of fun with them, flies are a little fast so they have to be kind of docile or distracted to get in touch with the tiny zapper surface area but once they do, fun happens. I like to swat wasps out of the air and pick them up with the zapper, they bite and sting the high voltage apparatus until their abdomen hollows out and smokes.

The latest fun is with one of these:

Thanks OP, I'm gonna go get one from the Harbor Freight around the corner.

ok, logistics question:

what the hell do you do with the salt after? Vacuum that shit up or just leave it like a savage?

 

[Pulsar]

I MUST try one. But.... it's still pretty god damn lazy.

You must. They are AWESOME. You can just wave it through the air and it works.

It's also really awesome if you can get a big spider on one. They convulse and then begin smoking while they cook.

: )

At least it's non-toxic?

wouldn't want my dogs to eat all the salt
