Inspired by organic leaves, this elegant electric fly swatter is designed to be a decorative and useful household piece. Functionally, the Leaf Mosquito Swatter doesn't do much differently than its less attractive counterparts; however, it fits seamlessly into modern homes without looking like a dangerous weapon.
The innovative device can be used in two modes: handheld, and standalone. When poised vertically in its dock, users can switch settings to the swatter's standalone mode. Two UV lights turn on to attract bugs and mosquitoes to the Leaf's electric mesh. To charge the device, Second White's electric fly swatter boasts a USB-C port for easy battery charging. The hands-free swatter can be used both indoors and outdoors.
