I work near a restaurant kitchen, and they spend much of the day with a flyswatter in hand getting rid of these pests. I have actually verbalized this idea to the chefs in the past, I'm glad to see it actually being done. If made cheap enough this could be a real solution to keeping bugs away without resorting to nasty chemicals or netting everywhere.
This has the potential to be a big win for not only comfort, but health and safety as well. Less bugs in kitchens = less chance for food getting infected or worse yet, having eggs laid in it.
- p1mrx 6y agoWhat's the point in verbalizing your laser flyswatter idea to chefs, when even most engineers wouldn't be able to build one?
- count 6y ago"Dude, it would so awesome if they like, built a laser torrent to shoot down these things" "Yeah, that would be sweet" "Yeah" Because it's a neat sci-fi idea and you're talking to a colleague...
- chrisseaton 6y agoWhy are they infested with flies? If you're having to swat them you're already doing something wrong.
- ncmncm 6y agoI am told that bead curtains in doorways keep out (or keep in) flies. It seems surprising, but they are very heavily used in some places, so there might be reasons to believe it. I wonder what the mechanism is. Do the beads need to be transparent?
- nextos 6y agoI've seen this in the Mediterranean quite a lot. Particularly in Spain. Beads do not need to be transparent, and it works well.
