Abstract

An improved fly swatter with an elongated handle portion and insect engaging section having means for collecting swatted insects. A plastic mesh swatting element is detachably affixed to the elongate handle and a replaceable stack of individually disposed adhesive pads comprises the opposite side of the swatting element. This eliminates the distasteful practice of hand collection of killed insects.
