The fly catcher is an electronic fly-swatting device based on the idea of the Venus fly trap. The Fly Catcher is not just a talking point, it actually catches flies.

Each unit comes with a packet of non-toxic bait (more can be purchased as required) which is hidden inside the mouth of the trap. The bait attracts the fly, which crosses two sensors as it walks down the surface of the jaws. These sensors activate the jaws which then snap shut, killing the fly humanely. Once swatted the mouth re-opens with a burp, indicating it is ready for the next fly.

The bait varieties are all non-toxic and the jaws will not hurt humans or animals.

The fly catcher is a frivolous, yet somewhat practical solution to one of the main summer irritations. Flies can carry certain diseases and land on rubbish etc so get your self a fly catcher and swat those flies before they land on your food!
