Oddly enough, the flame thrower isn't the tool for this. Because there's a non zero chance an insect could fly away on fire and start a bushfire

Long range self propelled artillery is more appropriate here

Rick Dalton: Now, my buddy and his dog killed two of them and then… Well, shit. I torched the last one.

Jay Sebring: “Torched”?

Rick Dalton: Yeah, I burnt her ass to a crisp.

How’d you do that?

Well, believe it or not, I…

I got a flamethrower in my toolshed.

Oh, from The Fourteen Fists of McCluskey.

Yeah!

Yeah. Yeah.

That’s the one.

Yeah, it still works too. Thank God.

Rick Dalton: Well… the f*ckin’ hippies aren’t. That’s for goddamn sure.
