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.

Last night, a small fly invaded my airspace. Not having any methods of killing it besides a tissue box, and being that the fly was below the minimum size that raises my concern, I issued a pardon and am now considered the most benevolent ruler of my house in more than a decade. My reelection coffers have swelled to double size in the last 12 hours.

No. But he/him made a Change.org petition.

Ever tried zapping a fly on the first swing? How about a backward flip side swing? When you achieve this level of skill you can just leave your front door open for that grand slam!

I’m in the car right now and there is a mosquito stalking me >:(
Do I need a separate arsenal for my vehicle?

Spray them mid air with Windex and crunch them with your shoe when they fall down works every time

Would love to see this in action! I'm sure your wife loves the clean house when you're done....

This thing is such a game changer. As soon as I hear a fly, it's toast. Does not stand any chance.

If I ever miss on the first try the fly goes crazy and then I have a really difficult time getting it. Is the trick to be really careful the first time, or is this issue a lack of my expertise?

Just leave it alone and it will go to rest on a window or plate. Tilt the head over it and it's trapped.

so basically any other version other than the tilt is not so useful... also a lot of times they hide in hard to get to places, so seems like I need to also get the Bug-A-Salt Gun....
I just saw they sell this as well. LOL!

The zapper doesn’t seem to be so effective against fruit flies. Dunno they aren’t always getting zapped, maybe they’re too small so they’re slipping through the net at times.
