These things work well, indoors too.

This is the best thread ever.

Both my inner child and inner hillbilly adore the 'lectric fly swatter. So much satisfaction. Plus they're fun to smack your friends with.

Can we take a moment to appreciate those bug zapper lights? I once watched a grasshopper meet his doom in one of those. There were flames, sizzling, crackling 'lectricity. It was a sight to behold, which I did, for science. This was last year, and I'm a grown man.

My apartment has been infested with breeding flies. Kill a dozen and they're right back atcha. But no worries. I have at my disposal an electrocuting fly swatter that looks like a tennis racket, the webbing replaced by metal-transmitting electricity. Touch it when the switch is on and you get a small shock.

The method of dispatch is to bring the racket in contact with the fly. When successful there are some small sparks, but the most satisfying die with a sizzle, which I live for as it means one less piece of flying vermin with which I must share my space.

Does the racket incinerate the bodies, leaving a little pile of ash? Or do you still have to dispose of the dead carcasses?

That's the bare minimum those ugly things deserve.
