Orkin Pest Control announced today it will ship more than 1,000 fly swatters to the Middle East to help soldiers in their reported unofficial war with pests.

“The media have provided an ongoing list of supplies our troops have requested, including fly swatters,” said Judy Donner, Orkin’s public relations manager.

Donner said the company produced the shipment especially to fulfill that request.
