Hey Aaron, whatever works.  Personally, I need the broad surface of a long
brush to wipe a frame or herd a swarm.  Also, in your wet part of the
world, long, green grass is plentiful.  I have sites on lava outcrops with
hardly any vegetation nearby, and whatever grass is available is dry and
brittle most of the year.  So I'll continue to use a brush.

Actually, halitosis works even better than grass.

Cheers
