Buzz Off! Fly Pod Redesigns Venus Fly Trap August 29, 2007

It might sound like yet another crappy iPod accessory but the Fly Pod is seemingly the modern way to get rid of the humble, summer-loving, annoying vomiting house fly.
Personally, I’m just getting tired of my tech mags being used as the main fly swatters around the home. It lacks the teeth of nature’s Venus Fly Trap but makes up for it by being trendy and white and quiet, unlike electric fly zappers.
It works by emitting soft light that attracts the fly who explores the Pod and eventually gets stuck on the glue board inside. Sucker! It costs £50 here so it’s not exactly cheap and replacement glue boards are £7 a pop.
It doesn’t say how many flies you can cram onto each glue board but I’m guessing more than enough to keep your fly-splatting bloodlust sated. –Martin Lynch

I’ve got one of these flypod’s and can confirm it’s been great this summer at catching flies. The glueboards are also £7 for 6, and each last for about a month. It’s a great product which looks good and is easy to use.
