matamoscas is a compound word meaning (literally) "fly killer". I'm pretty sure it most commonly refers to a fly swatter, but I believe it can also refer to flypaper.

"matador de moscas" isn't incorrect, but "matamoscas" is probably a little bit more common. It combines the words "matar" and "moscas" - MeEncantanCarasSonrisas, Jun 29, 2010
