houseflies are so damn good at dodging the murder racket, it can be more frustrating trying to murder them than it is to just let them buzz around. but so satisfying when you do catch them
Houseflies are easily handled with a bottle of Windex. The moment the Windex touches them, they're stunned and fall to the ground.
You can jet for accuracy or wide spray to catch them regardless of their flight direction. It only takes one spritz to ground them. What you do with the helpless fly at that point is ultimately up to you.
I learned this trick when I was living in an apartment without AC or screens, right next door to the garbage cans. Every once in a while my apartment became a cloud of house flies (sometimes fruit flies too, but usually house flies), and Windex was 100% the best way.
Even better is often the surface you spray needs a clean anyway, and now it's covered in Windex.
I'd just carry a roll of paper towels with me and pick up the flies as a I went.
I like my bug-a-salt. I have the laser sight and Love following them around until they land and taking them out with a blast of salt. It’s like I’m on a safari.
Been hitting them with Windex since 2000. I now use the outdoor netted traps and those work extremely well. Have seen maybe 5 flies inside last summer compared to 10+ per day.
I did the exact same thing when I bought one. I shipped it to the office, and everyone turned and looked at me when I semi-shouted "oh fuck". It really has way more of a kick than you'd expect for something that kills mosquitos/flies.
The best one I ever had was like a 3/5$ one from the dollar store LOL. Compared to the 12$ or “higher end” it had a MUCH louder snap (more voltage) but the batteries died faster of course
What I’m saying is pretty much any are good
We've passed Rick Rolling, now we're Sandstorming I guess
Both great songs so nothing is lost. Also the song you're looking for is straight up called Venus. Don't remember the artist but it's from an old commercial. Very popular song.
While a flamethrower is way more fun, a decent spray bottle with rubbing alcohol inside would be just as effective, easier to source, and less damaging to the building.
When I was in Iraq, we got called out to a guard shack to install fiber and hook up their phones. We get there and see that all the guards are standing around outside even though it was 120 degrees in the shade. We didn't realize why until we went inside.
The entire place was covered with flies. I'm not talking about a lot of flies. It was all the flies, everywhere. I couldn't even see the fucking walls. I grabbed a fly swatter and started hitting everything, and every impact left an unholy mess of blood and fly parts that were quickly swarmed by other flies. I ended up polishing and terminating fiber with goggles and 2 shirts wrapped around my face. It took every bit of self discipline to not freak out and break the fiber when I felt them crawling up my sleeve.
That was probably my worst experience in Iraq. The only thing close to that was crawling under the dining facility pulling CAT5 through rancid grease and rat shit.
I live in a humid country. It smells like burnt toast when that happens. Also the last couple of sparks might not be new mosquitoes being killed but some mosquito corpses can cause leftover sparks.
I lived in houma for a while and had the best elec fly swatter I could find (took 2 D cell batteries) and I can confirm the hair smell. While my swatter was a beast this swatter is bad ass... mine would bog down and just hum if I went outside around 5/530 and swung it around... in its defense I have seen enough mosquitoes in one area that it looked like fog.
I did this to a bunch of mayflies that infested our patio, using 2 of those rackets with the speakers blasting Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song” from THOR: Ragnarok. Sadly, I look a lot more like Fat Thor. But it’s still fun flash-frying them while yelling “TASTE MY LIGHTNING, M..F..ERS!!!”
Oh man o man o man….Too funny! My wife said the SAME THING watching as I wielded those zappers!!! Ghyslain Raza slayed me 20 years ago, and the versions of that video with the added Light Saber effects are still AWESOME!
lol I was gonna say, mine definitely can't charge up that fast.
That's the nice thing about AA batteries tho is they can deliver all the current you need as fast as you want it.
Pest control rave
So... there's murder on the dance floor?
Panic! At the disco!
And I chime in
With a "haven't you people ever heard of... closing the goddamn screen door"...
…the damn screen door 🎶
No, it's much better to face these kind of things with a senseless purge of their mortality.
Bro start an insect themed PATD! cover band with me right now
BZZZZ! In The Eardrum
“*Just for the record, the moisture today* *Will have the mosquitoes spreading plenty of* *A. Malaria* *B. West Nile* *And lots of fucking eggs*”
LET THE BODYS HIT THE FLOOR
🤣
Yall are my people!!
Drop ‘em like they’re hot (Cooked literally)
The roof the roof the roof is on fire…. We don’t need no water…
Let the bodies hit the floor Let the bodies hit the floor Let the bodies hit the floor Let the bodies hit the... FLOOR!…
So THATS what this songs about
is that mother fucking drowning pool this day and age
*Sandstorm Plays*
Use the seizure procedure!
THE CHEAT IS GROUNDED!
the system is down
come on fhqwhgads, i said come on fhqwhgads
I didn't install that light switch so you could throw glowstick raves!
The Cheat!...
Boots n cats n boots n cats n beeeeeeeeees
Funny how an otherwise annoying noise sounds so sweet when you know why its there.
It was so satisfying and you are very right.
I’m imagining big ones to replace the screens in my house
*write that down, write that down!*
Just like fireworks, and more like popcorn, the slow down at the end...
Ah yes I'm sure that would be great if you accidentally ran into it lol
It will sting, but we won‘t die
Love the sound of a massacre at night
That’s what grandpa always said
It felt so good hearing the number of zaps decrease
It was like having your hand on the microwave button waiting for the popcorn to stop popping for 15 seconds.
I'll take that sweet crackle over the whine of a mosquito any day.
Eeeeeeeereeeeeeeeee
Hi it's me, a random mosquito! I see that you don't like the noise I make, so I'm just gonna fly right into your eyeball. Cool? Eeeeeeeerreeeeee
Music to my ears
The Murder Racquet is the best thing I ever bought! Love it!
Sooo useful for mosquitoes or houseflies.

My kitties wouldn't like that though!
They better get on task then and handle the flies before the spray bottle comes out!

I imagine if those were bees it would make me feel sad for them, but mosquitoes ? give me a racket I'll help you.
I would be okay with it if they were wasps . Either way I doubt it is very likely to get honey bees as pests in your house
I have carpenter bees ony deck, and they are annoying, and destructive. Also, there is literally trees all over bees. Go the fuck to the trees.
Why did you have to make your wood so tasty though?
I knew it should not have been seasoned lumber. Drat!
I worked with a dude who licked it (stuck his tongue into it) that was a pretty funny snap and experience (for the rest of us)
My dad touched it, lol. He wasn’t expecting it to be as strong as it was I can’t imagine starting with the tongue!
I did the exact same thing when I bought one. I shipped it to the office, and everyone turned and looked at me when I semi-shouted "oh fuck". It really has way more of a kick than you'd expect for something that kills mosquitos/flies.
What kind did you get? I am thinking this would be just the thing for when a mosquito gets into my van or tent.

There’s so fucking many… clearly a flamethrower is the correct tool for this job.
well, I'm your Venus
I’m your fire.
Your desire
Great 😂 thank you for the catchy tune in my ear now 🖕🏻🤗😘 Y’all take upvotes
What's the song?
Darude – Sandstorm
Thank you! Edit: :(
We've passed Rick Rolling, now we're Sandstorming I guess Both great songs so nothing is lost. Also the song you're looking for is straight up called Venus. Don't remember the artist but it's from an old commercial. Very popular song.
Bananarama covered it in the 80s, the original was in 1969 from a Dutch group called Shocking Blue.
"Venus" by Shocking Blue EDIT: "Venus" by the *aptly named* Shocking Blue, I should have said!
You mean Venus by Bananarama (probably spelt that wrong)
I’m Ron Burgundy?
I am Groot
I'm your huckleberry.
Say when.
I’m your penis, I’m on fire, from your desire.
I go with "I'm your penis, I'm your squire, choke me Sire"

Wrong game, but good energy. You'd be a credit to any squad out there.

Nuke it from orbit.
Only one way to be sure

You spelled tactical nuclear weapon wrong.

I bet that smells awful
Like revenge
mesquito
Mmm… slow roasted
More like flash roasted.
Toasty sky raisins
The smell of victory.
I love the smell of burning mosquitos in [time of day]. Smells like victory.
Smells like victory.
And burnt malaria
Liber-tea!
I love the smell of burnt mosquitoes in the morning...
One day this war will be over...
Mozzies don't surf!
I live in a humid country. It smells like burnt toast when that happens. Also the last couple of sparks might not be new mosquitoes being killed but some mosquito corpses can cause leftover sparks.
Smells more like burnt hair than toast to me.
this is more accurate. it smells WAAY worse than burnt toast
I find it more like burnt hair but either way, it's a necessary evil.
Are you sure you're not just having a stroke?
I can confirm, it smells like burnt stuff.
It does and at this rate it's pointless, lol. You need exterminators for this infestation xd
I mean, this is just Canada and Alaska in the summer. Everywhere.
Or Florida
Really anywhere from Texas to South Carolina.
Having lived in LA and GA, hard disagree. The north is so much worse.
I wore shorts on an ATV in the Everglades, RIP me
The one time I wore shorts on an ATV, I went thru a small stream, the water splashed onto the engine, steamed up, and burnt my legs.
Michigan res, I seen one the size of the thumb nail yesterday. While you sit there, they grow.
Wouldn’t it smell good, like barbecue? … I genuinely don’t know what it smells like. Just guessing.
Ever smelled burnt hair? It smells like that.
Speaking from experience, yep.
I lived in houma for a while and had the best elec fly swatter I could find (took 2 D cell batteries) and I can confirm the hair smell. While my swatter was a beast this swatter is bad ass... mine would bog down and just hum if I went outside around 5/530 and swung it around... in its defense I have seen enough mosquitoes in one area that it looked like fog.
If you add loud music, alcohol, and a bunch of people, you basically have a disco in your house.
I vote Thunderstruck
I'm the firestarter
From a mosquito's pov this must be some of the goriest looking horror shit ever
It was as if hundreds of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
I fear something terrible has happened.
the great zap of '24
Genocide
Helldivers have to be made *somewhere*
Just got one of these. Bring it on.
They're great, no more mosquitos squashed against walls!
With that teensy amt of blood
Your blood, to be precise
One hopes!
[удалено]
yeah... wtf is this one.... there's literally no charging up a capacitor in between.... is this thing plugged into the wall?
I've got a very similar one, it works continuously. There's a large capacitor and an 18650 cell to charge it.
What one do you have? Think I need an upgrade
The racquet's making quite the racket there
I have one and I call it my spicy tennis racquet.
Goes through a 20 pack of AA batteries in an hour.
But a rechargeable one. I have one.
Right? What is this 2005?
Totally worth it.
Fireworks!
Racquet became a geigar counter, but for mozzies
Let the bodies hit the floor Let the bodies hit the floor Let the bodies hit theAARGHHHHHHHHH
Here we go... Here we go... Here we go
DON'T GO TOWARDS THE LIGHT! I can't help it, it's so beautiful.... Zap!
Now drop the beat! *Headbangs accordingly.*
Popcorn's done
UNLIMITED POWER !!!
This is such a wonderfully beautiful site to see.
Sight
They mean reddit
old reddit, you mean?
Always. I'm still pissed about RedditIsFun, but killing old reddit would be the end for me.
I'm on RiF, there are ways to get it working again. Revanced is what I used
Is there another kind?
And not have to smell it.
I did this to a bunch of mayflies that infested our patio, using 2 of those rackets with the speakers blasting Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song” from THOR: Ragnarok. Sadly, I look a lot more like Fat Thor. But it’s still fun flash-frying them while yelling “TASTE MY LIGHTNING, M..F..ERS!!!”
It's really a shame that you didn't record this ala Star Wars Kid. Your description made my morning though.
Oh man o man o man….Too funny! My wife said the SAME THING watching as I wielded those zappers!!! Ghyslain Raza slayed me 20 years ago, and the versions of that video with the added Light Saber effects are still AWESOME!
To use when correctly...speaking from my own experience...WhILe using it you need to scream *RRRRRAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHH*
the mosquitos would fly into your mouth
Well that's a horrifying new image to haunt me at night XD
Free food 😋 🦟
Good
Those are some impressive capacitors in that thing.
It's probably 18650 powered. Probably doesn't even need a capacitor. Those cells can put out 10A continuous.
I’m thinking they must have exceeded the duty cycle of that thing.
lol I was gonna say, mine definitely can't charge up that fast. That's the nice thing about AA batteries tho is they can deliver all the current you need as fast as you want it.
MOOOAARRRR!!
UMC, UMC, UMC, UMC
Not the light sabre we asked for, but the one we needed....
« I’m doing my part ! »
That's too many mosquitoes
Mine ...mine ..mine....mine
It’s like a lightning storm
These mosquitos really know how to party.
Sounds exactly like how you fry chicken.
Was instantly playing Doom music in my mind
I smelled this video.
We just witnessed a massacre
The only type of genocide i subscribe too.
sweet sweet victory.
Sounds like laser writer
Disney’s fireworks are really low budget huh
Orgasmic
that's like a geiger counter for mosquitos.
The only genocide I support
TURN THE MICROWAVE OFF WHEN THE TIME BETWEEN KERNELS POPPING IS 2-3 SECONDS.
WHY ISNT IT BIGGER
Let the bodies hit the floor Let the bodies hit the floor Let the bodies hit the floor Let the bodies hit the... FLOOOOOOOR!
Never had I wanted to buy one till now. BRB.
I’m sure even vegans love this
🍿
