Electronic Venus Fly Trap

The Venus Fly Trap is one of the most menacing plants I have ever laid my eyes upon, and I must say they certainly do their bit in reducing the pesky fly population. Unfortunately, your living room or kitchen might not be the best place to grow one, which is why the Electronic Venus Fly Trap is the next best thing (it beats out on the bug zapper in terms of sheer coolness). Inside you will find a non-toxic bait that lures flies into its plastic mouth. Whenever a fly falls for the bait, the plant will snap shut, where the manufacturer claims that the fly will be sent to fly heaven “humanely”. Since there are no digestive juices inside this device, I’ll leave that bit up to your own imagination. The Electronic Venus Fly Trap is powered by a trio of AAA batteries and retails for $40.
