FLY FAN
// hammacher.com Cartoon picnics are often spoiled by ants. They march up to the food and carry off whatever they want. In real life, flying insects are a bigger threat. They somehow know that we won’t use a fly swatter at the table or use a can of Raid anywhere near the potato salad. Clearly, we need the Eco Friendly Fly Deterrent—a picnic table fan that shoos away airborne insects. It has 15-inch blades made of lightweight flexible plastic that won’t knock anything over or hurt any hands that make contact by accident. The blades rotate constantly, creating a gentle breeze that pushes would-be pests away from the table. The Eco Friendly Fly Deterrent sells for about $25. Batteries not included.
