If I had posted early today I would have said that we have had very few this fall. This afternoon is making up for the previous dearth of these vermin. I have found that an electric fly swatter (see photo) is effective in dispatching the critters and rather fun besides. Guess it brings out my sadistic side as I find gratification each time I knock one onto it and hear the loud "SNAP!". 2750 volts disrupts biological functions, incinerates appendages and often gives them a "bad wing day" with their wings all frizzed out. Works well for mosquitos too. At the local Walmart garden center they are selling out the last ones for $5.
