Fan killers

 Hand fans that snap at mosquitoes

I've rather been enjoying killing mosquitoes, one at a time, in my hotel room. But they appear to have some superhuman ability to anticipate wind movements and avoid my hand by milliseconds. The only foolproof way to get one is to trap it in the folds of a curtain, where its supersenses become bewildered.

Anyway, the idea is to have a hand fan on hot days which will collapse on itself, trapping nearby mosquitoes. This somehow reminds me of an Asian character in a movie who used fans as a weapon

       [4and20] wow, blast from the past. Have you considered the mosquitos point of view? How sucking your blood is the only way for him to kiss you? Sort of.

       I've started sleeping au naturale and still haven't been bitten on my kissable bits.

       The next iteration, obviously, is a desk or ceiling fan design with the killer moves.
