flyswatter
Insect execution tool
A flyswatter is a handheld device for killing flies and other insects, typically a flat perforated paddle on a long handle.
The holes reduce air resistance, allowing faster swings.
The word also appears as two words (fly swatter) or hyphenated (fly-swatter).
She grabbed the flyswatter and chased the wasp around the kitchen.
