Electronic Fly Catcher just like a Venus!

Posted on 19 Sep, 2007 by Scott under General, Tech Gadgets

It’s a bit difficult to kill flies when we are at work but now Electronic Fly Catcher does it easily(kills flies just like venus). This electronic Fly Catcher simply works in a very similar like a Natural Venus Fly Trap. It uses a refillable non-toxic bait to attract the flies into the mouth of the trap. When the fly walks down towards the bait it crosses two sensors which causes the jaws of the Fly Catcher to shut together, killing the fly.

Another interesting thing is after the fly has been crushed to death, which the site claims is a ‘humane’ way to kill the pest the mouth re-opens with a clever burping sound ready to ‘humanely’ crush the next victim.[source]

This sounds interesting. I really hate flies especially when you are snoozing and they start waking you up. We have a really cheap electronic fly catcher in the Philippines. It looks like a badminton racket, well that means you have to make your way around running after the flies around the house. (LOL) I think this featured fly catcher is very convenient.

I want one of these! Unfortunately, I fear the cats will get their paws chomped by it (and probably the kids will hurt their fingers) more than any flies.

That’s a pretty smart invention!

That’s a neat idea, but I still prefer the real method :) My venus fly traps do the trick and actually make use of the fly!
