Old comment

Maybe someone should define what the fly bottle is.

Electric Flyswatters

I think Electric Flyswatters should be moved from Fly-Killing device to "bug zappers" or bug zapper to Fly-Killing device. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.10.77.38 (talk) 21:05, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Don't electric flyswatters produce ozone? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:11CF:316:FD00:C420:C9FD:3E75:B1F9 (talk) 23:47, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Abeyance

To whoever it was that used the word "abeyance" in this article, you gave me a good laugh. That's the greatest example of too formal of a word I've ever seen, to the point where it doesn't even make sense. Why not just say "the killing of insects" rather than "the abeyance of insects"?

Proposed merge of Flypaper into Fly-killing device

Flyswatter has already been merged here. The section that exists about flypaper on this page is entirely unsourced, and I think the dedicated article on flypaper has good sources to use. mwwv (converse) 17:20, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support I don't see the need for a separate article at this point. Reywas92^Talk 19:17, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support the separate flypaper article will never get large enough that it won't do well as a section of this one. Recon rabbit 18:49, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
