Swing it or leave it.

Late May, and the flies are already doing their thing — that lazy figure-eight around your kitchen light, the persistent one that keeps landing on your arm while you’re trying to eat outside. Your options have historically been: roll up a magazine, miss, feel foolish, or just give up and go inside.

These give you a third option with considerably more voltage.

The electric grid runs at 3000 volts, which sounds alarming but is genuinely designed for this exact job. Swing it like a racket and anything it touches is done immediately — no smearing, no wall damage, no post-victory cleanup. When you’re not actively hunting, drop it into the included stand and it switches to passive mode, attracting targets with a purple LED light and handling them while you ignore the whole situation.

The 1200mAh battery handles up to two hours of use on a charge, and USB-C gets it back up quickly. Works indoors, works outside on the patio — wherever the bugs are committing their crimes.

You get two, which means one stationed somewhere and one within reach. Peak bug season is about three weeks away.
