If you don't want to blow holes in the side of your trailer
here are my plans for the improved flyswatter, or as I like to call it 'fly slapper'.
Its a stick with a rubber band attached to one end, and a clothespeg to the other. You stretch the rubber band and slot it into the clothespeg.
Aim at fly, press clothespeg, see fly die.
Some points:
- In the picture the stick is about 3ft (1 meter) long. I've used ordinary rubber bands (so not the thick ones). I knotted several of them toghether to get the necessary length.
- You can attach the long rubber band to the stick by using an eye hook, or another rubber band which you wrap around the stick and the long rubber band.
- You can attach the clothespeg the same way. Make sure the clothespeg is of the type with a hinge and a spring.
- If the long rubber band keeps slipping out of the clothespeg, or the trigger pressure is too little, wrap another rubber band around the clothespeg to provide more pressure on the clothespeg.
