The device for swatting insects includes a shaft having a distal end and a proximal end, a handle portion mounted on the proximal end, and a paddle portion mounted on the distal end. The paddle portion absorbs excess force so that strong swings to strike the insect are less likely to damage the device. The paddle portion includes an elongated frame, a plurality of first flaps, and a plurality of second flaps. The elongated frame has top contact portion and a bottom contact portion. An initial configuration includes the flaps being planar and the top contact portion being furthest apart from the bottom contact portion in preparation to strike. A deformed configuration includes the flaps being bent upward from the frame and the top contact portion and the bottom contact portion closer to each other during the strike on the insect.

An electrifiable projectile for an insect zapper gun is capable of killing a target insect at a distance from the user. The projectile includes a pattern of electric wires forming a front-facing conductive contact structure having a breadth sufficient to allow the projectile to intercept an insect when propelled in a forward trajectory toward an insect. When the projectile's pattern of electric wires comes into contact with the target insect, an electric charge on the projectile is transmitted to the insect rendering the insect deceased.

An insect zapper gun is capable of killing a target insect at a distance from the user. The zapper gun incudes an electrifiable projectile fired from a handheld base. When the projectile comes into contact with the target insect, an electric charge on the projectile is transmitted to the insect rendering the insect deceased.

An insect capture device that is configured to provide trapping of flying insects by superposing a portion of the present invention on an insect. The insect capture device includes a handle member wherein the handle member has a first portion and a second portion that are telescopically coupled. A head member is secured to the end of the second portion of the handle member. The head member is secured to the handle member with a swivel mount so as to provide movable adjustment thereof. The head member is planar in manner and includes a central portion. The central portion has an outer surface with an adhesive disposed thereon. The central portion has surroundably mounted thereto a circumferential border member. The circumferential border member is thicker than the central portion so as to inhibit the central portion from touching a surface on which the head member has been placed.

The present application provides a negative pressure boosting net cover and an electric fan mosquito swatter. The negative pressure boosting net cover comprises a bracket and a negative pressure boosting assembly, wherein the bracket is connected to the negative pressure boosting assembly, and the negative pressure boosting assembly is fixed at the air inlet of the fan cover shell. The negative pressure boosting assembly is composed of at least one negative pressure boosting body, which are fixed at the air inlet of the fan cover shell through brackets. Gaps between the negative pressure boosting body and the negative pressure boosting body/fan cover shell forms the ventilation openings and air passages. The technical solution of the present application expands the mosquito trapping range, enhances the suction force, and improves the mosquito trapping efficiency; on the premise that the limited power of the fan is not increased.

An apparatus for catching bugs is provided which includes a catch box having an interior region and an elongated handle attached to the catch box. The elongated handle includes a flexible tube member and a flexible rod member disposed within the flexible tube member. The apparatus includes a trap adapted to move back and forth within the interior region of the catch box. The flexible tube member is attached to the catch box and the flexible rod member is attached to the trap. The flexible rod member is adapted to provide back and forth movement of the trap within the interior region of the catch box to thereby define a closed chamber in the interior of the box for trapping bugs.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to bug swatters. In one example, a bug swatter apparatus is disclosed, which includes a handle and at least one flappable pad coupled to the handle. For this example, a portion of the at least one flappable pad is configured to flap behind the handle when the handle is swung. In another example, a method is disclosed, which includes obtaining at least one mouse pad and creating a repurposed form of the at least one mouse pad. For this example, the creating comprises attaching the at least one mouse pad to a handle. In a further example, yet another bug swatter apparatus is disclosed, which includes a handle and a flat surface coupled to the handle. For this example, the flat surface includes at least one layer of adhesive material.

An insect trapping device traps, kills and facilitates disposal of an insect. The device includes a handle which is hollow defining a conduit extending between a first end and a second end. A fan coupled to the handle in the conduit such that the fan provides suction into the first end of the handle. A cup is coupled to the first end of the handle for directing an insect into the first end of the handle. A receptacle is coupled to the second end of the handle and vented end such that the fan urges air flow out through the receptacle wherein the receptacle receives and holds the insect sucked through the first end of the handle.
