Insect-hitting device (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

swat

(Other definitions for swat that I've seen before include "Deal a quick and effective blow (to)" , "Twas something of a blow" , "'Hit swiftly, a fly perhaps (4)'" , "Crush (eg, a fly)" , "'Twas quite a smack" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
