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)

Whoever keeps replacing the image of the african flyswatter underneath the heading "Electric Flyswatter", plese stop. It belongs before this heading.

I was hoping that someone had studied the minimum speed (of the swatter closing in on resting fly) required to kill a fly? Obviously, the total downward stroke must occur before the fly recognizes danger and attempts an escape. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.198.101.30 (talk) 13:22, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2011-06-09T13:22:00.000Z","author":"72.198.101.30","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-72.198.101.30-2011-06-09T13:22:00.000Z-How_fast?","replies":[]}}-->

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.

According to this post at newsweek.com, which in turn cites this research in Current Biology, this folk belief is just wrong ... flies can see a swatter coming long before they sense the change in air pressure (quote from the full text version: "We conclude that although mechanosensory cues might still play a role, visual information alone is sufficient for a fly to determine the direction of an approaching threat."). Should we revise the article appropriately? Anyone got sources to back up this claim, which I've heard widely repeated, but never by scientists?

According to The Heartland (Time-Life Book by Robert McLaughlin and the editors of TLB, 1976) "The wire fly swatter was invented in 1900 by J. L. Bennett of Decatur Illinois" (p. 13, side-bar). This pre-dates the 1905 year given in the wik article.

"Flyswatter invented by Robert Montgomery [of Decatur!], who holds the patent from c. 1900" according to http://reference.findtarget.com/search/Decatur,%20Illinois/

I removed a good faith edit by Onkal21 which overstated the lethal hazard of electric flyswatters. For example, "There have been some arguments about the lethality of the electric currents of electric flyswatters to humans", without providing any evidence or references, is rather suggestive. The electric current threshold data seem to come from one webpage. However, that webpage is unreliable because it says that the output of the flyswatter is AC instead of DC.

I removed the statement that electric flyswatters "are banned from importation into Australia [1]" The import restriction on electric flyswatters was changed in december 2008 to: "mosquito zappers may now be imported without a permit if they are powered by a storage battery capacity not exceeding 6 volts, and the electrified grid is shielded in such a way as to prevent contact with the live component."

I suggest to merge the Mosquito_bat article with the section #Electric_flyswatters in this article, since its about the same device. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.228.196.102 (talk) 09:57, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-05-28T09:57:00.000Z","author":"122.228.196.102","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-122.228.196.102-2012-05-28T09:57:00.000Z-Merge_with_Mosquito_bat","replies":["c-Ceinturion-2012-11-30T08:53:00.000Z-122.228.196.102-2012-05-28T09:57:00.000Z"]}}-->

Ok. As #Electric_flyswatters is older and more complete, Mosquito bat could be redirected to #Electric_flyswatters.
