Summer means warm, sunny weather, outdoor barbeques....and pesky flies. Frred and Friends' clever version of a necessary summer tool also comes with the wittiest product description ever:

"DELETE: there's no [esc for flies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/esc-keys)! This handy flyswatter works on windows or [Macs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-silicon-macs)...just think of it as a backspace for bugs!"

The flexible, plastic fly-slayer comes in a variety of colours. The keyboard matching colours are best if you want to vent your frustration with computer bugs on poor hapless flies.
