The Fly Swatter

Well, this is a very clever item which is used here in China to kill any type of flying bug. It is an electric fly swatter. It uses two AA batteries. When you press the yellow button, a white light comes on and the electric field is created to completely shock, burn, melt the bugs away. Flying insects will surely not enter your home when they see this in your hand. Especially since with their eyes, they would see 18 electric fly swatters.

I have wondered why this item has not been sold in the US or other areas. Maybe it is sold around the world, but China is the first place I have seen it. Well as you can see in the picture, there is a tiny white label where the racket starts. This label has some important warning information. This label is the only warning label on the swatter and it is in English, not Chinese.

Well, each member of my family has accidentally touched the wire side and you do get electrocuted. Just for the post on this blog, I tried it and it is quite a "shock"!! So if you happen to get one, please do not leave it around children and don't touch the wire side.
