Treat yourself to some quarantine fun!

Due to a pre-existing lung condition, I am one of the strictly isolated individuals during this COVID-19 pandemic for my own safety. I'm in my room and bathroom and have the opportunity to step out the first floor window for a breath of air and toss the ball to my dog in the yard. As my only refuge, I found it uncomfortable to go indoors with bug bites, no matter how long my sleeves or hem were. So I bought these little zippers and tried them out tonight. Okay, ZAP isn't an exaggeration. When a mosquito hits its creator with this little device, it doesn't go away quietly on that peaceful night. I saw a small blue electrical spark when defeated. I think I was also making noise because my youngest (adult) son immediately put on a mask and went outside to see what was wrong with me. He's a slim, tall young man, so he got a bird's-eye view of his burly little mother, in long pants and a hooded flannel shirt (hooded and tied to keep bugs out), jumping around, brandishing a strange plastic bat. as high as possible to try and get the tiny vampires to head towards the porch light. I don't know how long he sat by my impromptu hobbit rave, but I finally got another one and he let out a startled squeak and then confessed. that he thought I was crazy and was fighting invaders from other dimensions that only I could see. In the meantime, I grabbed my second racquet (FTW double pack) and two-handedly pursued my winged prey, who possibly resembled a drunken air traffic controller, cackling happily as I went. I don't know how this quarantine will end or what the ultimate impact of the virus will be on my family. What I do know for sure is that tonight I had 30 minutes of childlike joy to share with my son in our first real laugh in weeks. And I killed some bugs. Worth every penny.

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
