Made in USA Military-Grade Fly Swatters

The modern fly swatter design is credited to Samuel Crumbine, a Kansas health officer, who in 1905 asked for a 'fly bat' to be made from wire screen and a yardstick during an anti-fly campaign. The tool was later renamed the 'fly swatter' and has remained a household staple ever since.

The fly swatter was invented in Kansas, United States, in the early 1900s as part of a public health initiative led by Dr. Samuel Crumbine to combat fly-borne disease transmission. The simple wire-and-handle design quickly spread nationwide and became a standard household pest control tool.

Slap-a-Fly flyswatters use Herculite-80, an aerospace-grade synthetic fabric found in US jet fighters, combined with a 5-ply aircraft spruce handle for balance and strength. This construction delivers 80 PSI of impact force and withstands thousands of strikes, taking down not just flies but tough, armored bugs like cockroaches and wasps that flimsy plastic swatters can't handle.

No. Slap-a-Fly's strike surface is made from military-grade Herculite-80, a 100% vegan synthetic fabric - the same material used in jet fighters. Select models include a storage loop for hanging convenience, but the only striking material is durable, animal-free aerospace-grade Herculite-80 engineered for maximum impact.

Slap-a-Fly offers a standard Premium Military-Grade Flyswatter and an XL variant with extended reach, ideal for safely dispatching stinging pests like wasps and bees from a distance. Both share the same Herculite-80 strike surface and aircraft spruce handle construction, and are also available together in the 'Exterminator' Bundle.

Yes, Slap-a-Fly flyswatters are built for heavy-duty, repeated use, making them suitable for commercial kitchens, restaurants, and food service environments where reliable pest control is essential. Their military-grade construction withstands high-frequency use far better than standard consumer-grade swatters.
