My Whole Family Fights Over This Electric Fly Swatter
For most of my life, I didn't believe in any kind of self-defense against the onslaught of summertime insects. Sure, some methods might work in your backyard, but they're no match for the Ontario wilderness, where I worked as a canoe trip guide for eight years, or the woods of Quebec, where my family decamps each summer.
I've seen things you wouldn't believe. In the depths of the Canadian woods, I could take a bath in pure DEET and still be swarmed by ravenous black flies, no-see-ums, and mosquitoes. Just about every bug repellent we tried — repellent coils, spatial diffusers, hypersonic machines, special wristbands — was easily overwhelmed by the sheer number of bugs flying about. Mostly, I grit my teeth and surrendered to the fact that I was in the dominion of the bugs and was gonna get bit.
Last summer, my wife and I steeled ourselves for peak bug-biting season. But to my surprise, my family had figured out the bug problem with the most inelegant, brute-force tool possible: The Executioner, an electric fly swatter that has cured my bug-defense skepticism.
It cuts through swarms of mosquitoes and black flies with ease, making your next hike in the woods or your next outdoor meal during bug season a bit more pleasant.
The swatter looks like a metal-stringed tennis racket. To activate its electrical current, you press a button on the side of the handle. You can see where this is going: Bug meets strings, bug gets zapped.
For hunting one single bug, like any flyswatter, it isn't super effective — you have to guess the insect's flight path and hope to connect with it somewhere in the middle. But it shines when you're faced with a swarm: Just hold the button and take a swing around yourself, and you're sure to get at least one bug.
The mesh on the racket is fine enough to collect bugs of all sizes, so one swing by a seasoned Executioner can get you a deer fly, two mosquitoes, and four black flies — seven in one blow, like you're the brave little tailor. You can easily knock your conquests off the strings and make your own miniature trophy room, the envy of all bug-addled folks near you. And compared with a regular fly swatter, the mess is minimal: no blood, no guts, all the glory.
In my family, the Executioner has become a much sought-after possession for any summertime outdoor activity. Because it's so effective, wielding it is a highly esteemed badge of honor. My wife felt like she had entered into a new inner circle of the family when my dad handed her the Executioner before we ventured outside. As long as I stuck by my wife's side, I knew I'd be protected in the haze of bugs by her new favorite tool; the next best thing to wielding the Executioner yourself is sitting by someone who is. The swatter is shaped like a tennis racket, with tight wires that can wack bugs of various sizes. Evan Dent/NYT Wirecutter
My family isn't alone in coveting the Executioner; writer Alexander Aciman told me that over the past couple of summers, he and his brothers have fought over using the Executioner 'the way we might have fought over possession of a single toy 30 years ago.' He, too, feels all-powerful when wielding it; while I might feel like the brave little tailor, Alexander feels more like Watchmen' s 'Doctor Manhattan zapping things out of the sky.' (I am tired of this world — these flies.) Most of all, Alexander appreciates the Executioner's 'one-and-done' efficiency, which stops him and his family from 'neck-breaking maneuvers' while frantically and repeatedly trying to swat an attacker.
Tolstoy once wrote that every happy family is alike; that's definitely the case when they have an Executioner on their side.
The Executioner isn't perfect; it's just a simple solution for a simple problem. You can make an outdoor meal during black-fly season tolerable with some intermittent charged passes between bites. If you're on a hike and end up in a swampy bit of forest, your group leader can clear the air of mosquitoes for those behind them. And if you want to hit a special fishing spot, you can extend your time by buzzing away some flies between casts.
Looks-wise, it's about as pretty as its name implies, but at least a range of colorways and sizes are available. (My wife picked out a pink one.) It's made out of a sturdy plastic, and mine has held up well over the course of a couple summers; I imagine hitting it against a wall or table might chip it with enough bashes, but the beauty of it is catching bugs mid-air and not having to thwap them. The device requires AA batteries (not included).
There's also the risk of electrical shock. The electric current turns off instantly if you let go of the power button. Some models feature a safety switch, but it's still possible to give yourself a little jolt with a mistimed touch. (If you're morbidly curious like myself, you'll do it on purpose — it's not so bad.)
And if you abhor violence, well, a product called the Executioner is not for you. (Maybe the catch-and-release BugZooka is more your speed.) It's at least better than those high-voltage bug zappers, which indiscriminately kill every flying invertebrate that comes near them — you can be a little more selective with the Executioner. The Executioner is a simple solution to a simple problem, but it does its job well. Evan Dent/NYT Wirecutter
I loved the Executioner enough to get one of my own for home use back in New York, where the mosquitoes are tamer than those in the Canadian wilderness, but still bothersome. If I want to read, grill, or just lounge in my backyard, I'll take it along. Compared with using it in the woods, it's like cutting vegetables with a machete — overpowered for the job, but immensely satisfying.
And if some poor fly does make its way into my house, that bug doesn't know that it's just entered the Thunderdome. While other households in the city might fruitlessly chase flies with a rolled up magazine, in this apartment, a pink, sparkly Executioner reigns; abandon all hope, ye flies who enter here.

I became a widow at 35. Here's what I want people to know about dating after the death of your spouse
In October 2021, Whitney Lyn Allen was pregnant with her second child when her husband, Ryan, died following complications from a severe allergic reaction to a bee sting. The former attorney-turned-grief counsellor's life was upended by loss. But she embraced the possibility of love again and recently remarried in January 2025. "There are many reasons people want to date after losing a spouse," Allen said in an interview withYahoo Canada. "It's the most natural thing in the world, especially if you've had a healthy relationship or marriage. To crave emotional, mental and physical stability and intimacy again is completely normal." Much like divorce, the idea of getting back into the dating game after the death of a spouse can be daunting. However, unlike a divorce, people who are widowed didn't choose for their relationship to end; grief can complicate their feelings about heading into a new phase of life and potentially meeting someone new. But how do you begin the process of finding love? We asked Allen as well as Krista Roesler, a Toronto-based registered psychologist, to weigh in. Allen and Roesler both receive questions about dating after loss, but one of the most common questions people have usually surrounds timing. Some might ask, "How do you know when you're ready to date again?" Allen said a better question might be whether you have a "healthy curiosity around the experience of opening up your heart again," even at the risk of heartbreak. I wanted to feel alive again, to have a night where I wasn't just a widow or a Lyn Allen "It means you're opening up your heart again to possibly be hurt, whether through a breakup or another loss," she said. Roesler said it's best to take time to process your emotions before stepping back into dating. "It's important to progress to the acceptance stage of grief. Once the feelings become less intense, you may have the space to welcome someone new into your life," she explained. For Allen, who's the author of "Running in Trauma Stilettoes: A Raw Glimpse at Grief and Life After Loss," the decision to move forward was intentional. She met her now-husband, Anthony Gadecki, on a dating app. "I was curious about the dating scene. I wanted to feel alive again, to have a night where I wasn't just a widow or a mom. I didn't expect to find my next husband so soon, but when you meet someone who makes sense, it just happens." People may be surprised by how often they make comparisons between their new partner and their deceased spouse. Allen said this is common and completely normal. "You're human. ... Making comparisons doesn't mean one person or relationship is better than another. It's human nature and it's going to happen." Finding someone who will be understanding and sensitive to your grief is key. Allen said there are times when the person grieving will need more support, especially during difficult times like anniversaries or birthdays. "It's about allowing yourself to accept this new life, the new love for this new person, while also letting the love for the person who's no longer here coexist," she explained, adding that being in a new relationship doesn't diminish the love for the one lost. "It's not a competition; both loves can exist at once." Allen said Gadecki has been steady in his support, but acknowledges she alone was "responsible for her grief." Open communication was key to their bond. "I expressed what I needed; he's not a mind reader. We had honest conversations and realistic expectations, even when it meant tackling uncomfortable topics," she added. It's not a competition; both loves can exist at Lyn Allen "But at the end of the day, he chose me and my boys, fully aware of the complexities that come with being part of a family living with grief and trauma." Roesler said it's key for couples to be able to talk about loss without their partner taking it personally. "Be patient and avoid having any expectations about the process. It will take time, and they might not have much to give while coping with the loss." Building a new relationship while grieving the loss of a previous partner can be challenging. However, it's not about balancing but allowing both relationships to coexist. "It's giving yourself grace to feel intense emotions and having the courage to be honest in your new relationship about what you're feeling and what you need," Allen said. Unfortunately, it's not uncommon for people to receive judgment from friends and family once they begin dating again. Roesler said it's important to understand it's their problem, not yours. "You can't please everyone. Your job isn't to please anyone but yourself," she explained. "The person who matters most in this choice is you because you are the only one who has to live your life and deal with the consequences." View this post on Instagram A post shared by WHITNEY LYN | AUTHOR & GRIEF COACH FOR WIDOWS🖤 (@whitneylynallen) Along with publishing two books on loss, Allen has chosen to document her grief through social media. Though her close family was supportive of her moving forward, the outside world wasn't always as kind and she's been subjected to criticism by strangers on the internet. "Comments like 'you must not have loved your husband' or questioning if my baby was my husband's — just unkind things. It's absurd," she said. "There's no perfect amount of time to start dating again, and it's not for anyone else to determine. "Some people believe that widows and widowers should remain single out of loyalty and respect for their deceased partner. I disagree. I think love and respect can be found in new relationships."

The Oilers are not limping into this Stanley Cup Final against the Panthers
EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Connor McDavid is fine, and coach Kris Knoblauch expects the best hockey player in the world to be good to go for the Edmonton Oilers in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final. That is the most important thing for Edmonton gearing up for another championship series against the Florida Panthers. Also, acknowledging the notable absence of injured forward Zach Hyman, the Oilers are much closer to full strength in the rematch than they were a year ago and are not limping into the final this time around. 'We're very confident in the group that we have and the players that are available,' defenseman Darnell Nurse said Monday after a day off the ice for players. 'There's been guys that have stepped up in huge moments so far over the course of the playoffs, and I'm sure over the course of the series we'll need more of that.' A smoother journey through the playoffs helps. Edmonton won each of its past two series in five games apiece, and that has allowed for some much-needed rest along the way. 'Are we 100% healthy? No, not quite, obviously with Hyman being out, which will be a huge loss,' Knoblauch said Monday. 'But overall I would say we're in a little bit better position physically.' Reinforcements have also arrived just in time. Winger Evander Kane returned for Game 2 of the first round against Los Angeles after missing the entire regular season recovering from multiple surgeries to repair injuries that knocked him out of the Cup final a year ago when he needed injections just to be able to walk. Defenseman Mattias Ekholm got back in the lineup for the clinching game of the Western Conference final against Dallas after thinking several weeks earlier he wouldn't be able to play again until October. 'When doctors tell you something, they're usually right,' Ekholm said. 'Most people didn't think I was going to be in this position, so to be able to be part of this group, to be part of things on the ice and help this team win has been the goal the whole time and now that it's reality is awesome for me.' The Oilers did not win last year when they faced the Panthers, losing three in a row to start the series and clawing back to force a Game 7 only to experiencing a gut-wrenching defeat. They didn't have Kane healthy then to offset Matthew Tkachuk, Sam Bennett and Florida's hard-nosed pressure. Now they do, with Kane and Corey Perry being counted on to make up for Hyman being out. 'We can play a physical brand of hockey,' Kane said. 'We can play an in-your-face brand of hockey. Whatever game you want, we can give you. We're going to play our game, and we're looking forward to that challenge.' The Panthers are also nearly 100% after some injury scares in the East final against Carolina to clutch scorer Sam Reinhart and vastly improved defenseman Niko Mikkola. Only depth forward A.J. Greer's status is any kind of a question going in. McDavid provided some intrigue over the weekend by leaving practice after five minutes and a chat with trainers. Knoblauch brushed that off, saying the three-time league MVP and reigning playoff MVP was fine and said McDavid would practice Tuesday in the final preparation for the series. Connor Brown is also expected to be back for Game 1 Wednesday night in Edmonton after missing the conclusion of the West final. 'He adds a lot of elements to our team,' Knoblauch said. 'Obviously on the penalty kill we need him a lot, his speed, his checking. He's scored and provided some nice offense throughout the season.' Having gotten at least a goal from 19 different players during this run, the Oilers also seem mentally sharper than last year, when they were new to this stage of the playoffs going up against an opponent that had been there before. McDavid and Leon Draisaitl should keep driving the bus, but they don't need to do it all. 'This time around we have a lot more depth throughout the entirety of our lineup,' Kane said. 'If we need scoring, we have scoring. If we need some guys that can be a little bit more physical, we can be more physical. Unfortunately, we're going to have to use that depth and we're going to have to get the job done with it.' ___ AP NHL playoffs: and

The device's IP67 water-resistance rating, handy water-repellent leather cord and nine color choices make it an ideal accessory to tote on the go, so he can take it to the driving range or the tennis courts no matter what the forecast is calling for. 'Even at top volume, its performance—and in particular, the bass—remained loud, powerful and clear when playing music,' our tester says.

Amazon Once he gets his mitts (er, roots) on this incredibly refreshing-smelling shampoo and conditioner set from Nécessaire, he'll surely be cured of his college grooming habit, when the 3-in-1 shampoo, conditioner and body wash was his only shower staple.

This e-gift will arrive in his inbox on the date of your choosing or instantly (making it a perfect last-minute Father's Day gift). From there, he can take a scent quiz to receive a curated package with colognes picked just for him.

We voted it our best water flosser of 2025 for those reasons, among many others. Courtesy If your hubby is constantly dipping into your bathroom drawer for your high-end skincare products, it's time to give a gift to you both and get him his own. This hydration-boosting discovery set from Laneige is the perfect gateway kit so he can try a little bit of everything and reap the benefits of softer, smoother skin without stealing from your own stash.

Surprise your husband with Samsung's The Frame Smart TV; when he's not busy watching his favorite sports, shows and movies, it'll hang flush against the wall while displaying a photo or artwork of your choosing. Gozney US Both you and he will benefit from the gift of homemade pies being churned out in a matter of minutes with this innovative and portable pizza oven from Gozney. Lightweight—and featuring a robust accessory system—this gadget is one he'll love to fire up, whether he's at home in the backyard or cooking out of the bed of his truck on a camping excursion with the guys.
