Using one of these can be a source of great satisfaction, though despite
sparks being visible, they are often only stunned, so while they are
unconscious take swift action to reduce one of their dimensions to close

Poundland sells these, and with mine I've seen flies stunned with sparks
and, yes, they often recover and fly off.

Like BigClive's video, my one is yellow, which I think may be working
against me swatting the critters, given that its a nature warning
colour. Should try environmentally friendly green...

One downside is the smell of burning fly flesh and whatever recent
delight that the fly had enjoyed before the electrocution. I don't think
that's too healthy to breathe....
