Are they those stupid mayflies that just fly around in circles in the center of the room?

DoctorB (doesn't sign on very often) has one. It's not long range, but it does take the little buggers out. (My Harbor Freight bug badminton racquet works great if you can make contact with the damn things, but that's not always easy.)

Some seem larger, judging by my bites and the tiny blood-streaks when I catch them, some are huge mosquitoes.

They work quite well. I bought mine for black widows. For larger insects, buy the coarse salt.

I followed their development funding on Facebook. Finally bought one at Sportsman's Warehouse (no shipping cost). Love it for flies and spiders...much less mess than swatting.

No clue why some kid doesn't have a route going from restaurant to restaurant killing their flies for a few bucks.
