Yea was thinking the same. We grew up doing mitzvos by killing the spiders.  :)

Favorite method? Don't have one. Most common method? By mistake.
Flies love me - I sweat profusely and they are always bugging me. I'm always twitching and realizing later that I killed yet another one...

This isn't the preferred method of using the Mishpacha/Ami thread

It's that rubbish that attracts the flies in the first place

Rubber band.

Do you want to play a board game, digitally or in Lakewood NJ? PM me. (Can be asynchronous, i.e. take turns whenever)

Lol, got it a couple days ago and I like it, it’s perfect for mosquitoes and fruit flies.

For prevention, I’ve used these outdoors to great success, they filled up with flies quickly early in the season, and flies were hardly found the rest of the summer. They’re like $5 a bag in the supermarket. If a fly gets into my house, I’m using a rag.

In the olden days, we would say something like this is made for אמעריקאנטשיקע טשאקאלאדניקעס that look for easy effortless solutions.

I doubt you get the same satisfaction you get from a successful towel or yarmulka kill.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Oh you most certainly do. That zap of electricity is just incredibly satisfying!

That's like telling a unicycler to try a bicycle. Or a Formula 1 racer to use automatic transmission.

A fly made the poor decision of invading my bedroom last night. It was of the smaller faster type of flies which are considerably harder to track. With my gun in my right hand and zapper in my left I looked around until I spotted it landing on my blanket (not a place you want to use a smoosh-method). I fired a round from a bit of a distance to throw it off kilter which enabled me to move in with the other hand for the execution with a most satisfying zap.
