KerriBerri Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Fly swatters have to be one of the most disgusting things in the world! I don't like it being near anything so the garage would be ideal. However, I live in OK and the fly population is near plague status so it needs to be handy. GROSS, GROSS, GROSS! Where do you store yours? :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgrin Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Don't know if this helps, but I try to avoid fly swatters. (Can't stand the storage, yucky mess thing either!) I like to use Black Flag Window Fly Traps. They're these clear, sticky window-cling things. The flies get stuck, and then you throw the whole strip away. I put mine toward the top of the window, behind the blinds. That way I don't see it (until it's time to change) and the kids can't bother it! They come 4 to a pack at Wal-mart.

Pretty in Pink Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I think those sticky fly-trap hanging things are disgusting! Of course, so are fly swatters. :tongue_smilie: I keep the fly swatter on top of the fridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classical Country Mama Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 We keep fly swatters on the wall on push pins or nails. Can't have enough of them in this house--flies, spiders, misbehaving children*--and we have to hang them high enough so ds(17 mos) won't chew on them as often as he'd like. *JOKE! JOKE!

Cinder Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 My kids always tell me I need to buy a flyswatter. But I think they're gross, too. I guess you can rinse them off in the bathtub. I still don't have one. I tell the kids I don't need one--I have the fastest dishtowel in town! And yes, it gets thrown straight into the wash afterward.

DusksAngel Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 We're teaching the kids to use them. I think G may have gotten one this year. :D We keep ours on top of the frig (that way little ones don't feel the need to play with them or try to chew on them).

Crafty Mathy Mom Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 On top of the fridge of course. That's where my mother and grandmother kept the flyswatter. I recommend the Sergeant Swat. It's top of the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in MI Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I keep mine on top of the fridge. But, I also stick it in the dishwasher to sanitize it after I kill a fly/bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueridge Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 What a funny thread. I plan to get both of these, for a professional fly extermination. :D http://non-electric.lehmans.com/search#w=fly%20swatter&asug= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please tell me you run a cycle with just the flyswatter! :lol::lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
