Talk:Flyswatter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This page is confused. The first half is about actualy flyswatters but the categories that apply to the second half are right smack on top of the picture in the first half.
I have some material for the first half but maybe the page ought to be split first. ;Bear 00:13, 2004 Sep 21 (UTC)

- Nice work, thanks. Wish I had a decent high-speed connection so I could do more. ;Bear 15:51, 2004 Sep 21 (UTC)
[edit] African Flyswatter
Whoever keeps replacing the image of the african flyswatter underneath the heading "Electric Flyswatter", plese stop. It belongs before this heading.
Thanks,

[edit] Hole (singular)?
Most flyswatters I've seen have a large hole in the middle (unlike the one pictured). Does anyone know why? --82.18.166.73 19:15, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
- Old question, but can't resist providing info - it's to reduce air resistance. A solid, or entirely mesh, swatter is more difficult to bring down quickly and more likely to blast the fly out of its path with the downdraught. Rissa (talk) 16:42, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Lethally hazardous 220 VAC swatter
I was surprised to see the link removed. I cannot see how that story would be irrelevant, especially if it can save human lives. 88.114.40.209 17:45, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
Because it's a product recall, the device isn't MEANT to have a lethal voltage, it's a manufacturing or design error in ONE MODEL, that's not going to be around any more. M0ffx 20:06, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
