Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Wet wipes
fly tape
fly swatters
books

I have heard raves for the second item. Apparently a standard fly strip will be covered in minutes. Fly swatters for who can kill the most contests; wet wipes for those times when you just aren't feeling that fresh (daily).
Also prepaid phone cards, depending on where they are at and if there is access.
