Fly-whisk

A fly-whisk is a tool that people use to keep flies away from themselves or someone else. It is like a small broom with long, soft hairs that can be made from things like horsehair, feathers, or nylon. When you wave it back and forth, the hairs create a breeze that scares away flies, mosquitoes, and other flying insects that like to buzz around your face. It can be especially helpful in hot places where there are lots of bugs around. So, you take a fly-whisk, wave it around, and watch the flies go away!
