I have one of those rackets.
I recently was in my workshop when I heard the distinctive buzz of a carpenter bee. They're about the size of the end of my thumb (not an exaggeration) and are fond of burrowing into wood to build their nests- especially nice lumber that has been used for a building. I tried to discourage the bastard by swinging a piece of moulding around where he was buzzing, but he was persistent.

So I climbed up into the loft of my workshop with said racket, held the button down to give it a good charge, then reached out and tapped him with it. He dropped like a dress on prom night, tased and twitching on the floor below.

He liked lumber, you see, so I gave it to him by setting a 2x4 on top of him.

Bastards.
