Not a new thing in Alaska. They aren't very effective. Fun yes, but pretty useless.
There are just too many of the little critters. You'd end up with Popeye arms if you swung at every mosquito outside. Heck, you'd work up a sweat, get to breathing heavily and attract more mosquitoes than you could EVER swat. For one thing, they'd be all over YOU. Mosquitoes are attracted to two factors, CO2 and body heat. They go after the dogs like crazy. But it doesn't take them long to find a person, either.
I have fun sucking flying insects into the vacuum cleaner when they get into the house! I have a little mini vac that looks quite a bit like R2D2, and I use him all the time. Bwahahahahaha!
