  • Patent number: 12642264
    Abstract: The invention is an insect swatter designed for efficient and hygienic pest control. This swatter features a flat top side for striking insects and a backside that seamlessly integrates with a basin situated on one side of the swatter's back wall. Perpendicular side walls, parallel to each other, extend from a back wall and connect to a front wall of the basin. The side walls are also perpendicular to the front wall, forming a well-defined space. A bottom wall, perpendicular to the basin's top side and back side walls, along with the unbounded side opposite it within the basin, facilitates insect collection. Furthermore, a flexible handle, made from either flexible material or the same material as the swatter and basin, is connected to the swatter or its integral part.
