2-Pack: Rechargeable 3000V Electric Fly Swatters
Our Take
- Fly swatters and electricity: two great tastes that taste great together
- (But don’t actually lick one; that would be a bad idea)
- If you don’t want to swing them, you can just set them in their bases and let them attract and zap bugs without any effort
- Can they make a margarita: can’t stress enough that you shouldn’t put something electrically charged into liquid
Your Take
-
We posted these electric racquets on automatic and they killed hundreds of the birthing flies from those dead rat bodies.
-
I feel these pickleball rackets will add a whole new dimension to the game ..
-
Like vases, table lamps, your spouse who walked up so quietly behind you that you had no idea she was there when you were contorting yourself into a pretzel trying to hit THAT F***ING FLY!!

The fly swatter.
It’s one of those inventions that is both remarkably simple and also remarkably effective. A long-handled, floppy ping-pong paddle that has ended the lives of countless bugs throughout history.
The only problem? It’s not a standalone device. Each one should come in packaging that warns: “Secondary surface not included.”
Because that’s the thing, right? The fly needs to settle, or at least get close to, a relatively flat surface, against which you can pin it and crush it using the swatter. And this is not always as simple as it should be.
There are times when the fly that’s bothering you is not bumping stupidly against the window but rather touring the room, coming annoyingly close to you each time it does its rounds. Making matters even worse, you will instinctively swat at it with your hand, and many times, will actually make contact that does little more than bump it momentarily off its course and cause it to travel with even more neurotic energy.
But what if that non-lethal contact could, in fact, be made lethal? What if you didn’t need to press the bug against a surface to end it? What if the touch was all it took?
That’s what these come in. They’re electrified fly swatters. So, all you need to do is swing one at a passing fly, and if it hits, game over. What’s more, you can set them in their charging bases, and they’ll attract and zap bugs without any effort on your part.
With that kind of power, it’s no wonder that these are strictly prohibited from being used on or near the sets for any major bug films. You know what we’re talking about. Motion pictures like:
- She’s All Gnat
- The Mantis in the Iron Mask
- What Lice Beneath
- How to Lose a Fly in 10 Days
- Louse of 1000 Corpses
- Flea’s Just Not That Into You
- How to Train Your Dragonfly
- Remember the Mite-ans
- I Know What Katydid Last Summer
- There Will Bee Blood
Yes, the puns are really stupid. But not as stupid as actual bugs, which will fly right into one of these electric fly swatters without a second thought. (Mostly because they won’t be able to think. Because they’ll be dead.)
