Summer is coming. For fun, sport, revenge and vindication against
skeeters and flies, particularly biting flies as black flies and deer
flies, I heartily recommend ... the Racquet Zapper.

These things are a hoot! Skeeters and flies go POP. Everyone at the
lake who picks one up immediately "goes hunting" and has a heck of a
good time. Skeeters are easy. Flies are tricky in warm weather
because they're very quick ... technique definitely counts!


Unfortunately they don't work too well on Muddaubers ond other large wasps.

Perhaps their wings aren't sufficiently conductive.

You actually have to swat them hard enough to dispatch them.

Smaller wasps, though, have been known to actually land on the grid and,
when they do, the "crack" is most satisfying! grin
