If you have been on this island any time at all you know you can't live without the "Jolt." We had two which we took to Maine this summer and decided to leave them there. There is a need for them there but no stores carry them. We planned to buy two more when we returned to the island...but it seemed food was a higher priority so we waited til payday and hurried to Gallows Bay Hardware store. WHAT??? No "Jolts!" They were all sold out! But one kind gentleman told me where I might find them and sure enough he was right. I bought two and came home and started using them right away.
You ask "What is a Jolt?" It is better than butter on toast, jelly on a peanut butter sandwich, or a tall glass of iced tea. You can hold it in one hand and keep on doing something else with the other hand. And when those buzzing mosquitoes take aim at you, just twist your wrist as if playing tennis and ZAP, he is gone. Sometimes you can take two or three at the same time, if you are really quick. The noise can make you jump if you don't expect it...but it sure is a lot of fun to see the end of that little guy! No, I am not crazy, but we spent almost a week without power and night and day they tormented us while we tried to sleep and live in our house. There is just no other way to catch them. The "Jolt" is a required tool for survival on this island.
