Peel-off the bug guts

Fly swatters are disgusting when you think about it. This idea incorporates a multilayer head that is comprised of maybe 8 very thin sheets of plastic than can be peeled off. After you smack the bug, peel off the outside bug-gut spattered layer.

Btw, the peel-off sticky fly swatter is patented, by the look of it http://www.patentst...46-description.html

       Disposable plastic consumerism combined with bubble boyesque anti-germ sentiment? Disgusting when think about it.

       Yeah, I always just rinse my swatter off with the hose. Cheaper than buying packs of plastic sheets and keeps the bug gore out of my house.

       Aren't the plastic sheets then germy?

       Yeah, that's why you peel them off and mail them to someone you don't like

       ewwww. I don't think sticky bug guts rinse off that well. Maybe you ought to throw that nasty thing away.

       what about a sponge on one side that has disinfectant in it(not dripping soaked, just a little wet) so when you smack a fly, it wets/table/person with germ killer where the sponge hit. It really doesn't take much to kill a fly. The sponge probably wouldn't promote the explosion of the fly like hard plastic would either.

       They come off fine if you wipe it on the grass then re-rinse. Only takes a few seconds, and doesn't leave nasty bug gore in your garbage can.

       Garbage can? What a waste. Save those bug-soaked sheets for a special someone. Like your neighbor when their dog keeps you up all night.
