When it comes to blending practicality with innovation, few products pack as much punch as PickleZapper®. This stylish yet powerful bug-zapping racket has turned pest control into a game and a conversation starter. Born out of a father-and-son collaboration between Neil and Ian Kay, PickleZapper® is a testament to the duo’s knack for novelty and love for all things sports and outdoors.
The idea for PickleZapper® struck Neil during a cruise, where pickleball was the centerpiece of the recreation onboard. With pickleball’s meteoric rise as the fastest-growing sport in the U.S., Neil envisioned a product that could combine this trend with real-world pest control. The result? A fly zapper resembling a pickleball paddle brings humor, shocking results, and a lot of flair to open-air and inside living spaces.

Whether hosting a backyard barbecue or enjoying a quiet evening fireside, this handy method ensures pests won’t be invited to the party.
The PickleZapper® offers automatic mode with a purple UV light attractant for nights when you need a hands-free approach. Place it in its stand, and it works quietly to clear your space of unwanted insects. During mosquito season, this feature provides peace of mind and better sleep—a small but vital victory for any household.
