The Skeeter Beater’s Screen Door on a Battleship

skeeter-beater

The Skeeter Beater is a piece of mosquito netting loaded with magnets that you use to cover an open car window (when parked) and sleep with a breeze but not bugs. In my experience you don’t get much of a breeze lying on the floor of a car while the windows above are all open, but at least it’ll give you the option to try. The Skeeter Beaters cost about $30, or you could make your own with a $3 piece of mosquito netting, a stolen sewing machine, and a bag full of kitchen magnets. If I made one of my own I would make it enormous so that I could throw it like a net and try to pin small animals against my vehicle.
