Pro Fly Killer Mosquito Swatter Racket Wasp Bug Zapper Indoor Outdoor Over 55cm Long

I bought this device because a co-worker of mine recommended it. He had the regular version and I had to one up him. The item came right on time as always, when I buy through Prime. I was hesitant on this because i was not sure how strong the wires would be. The picture does not do it justice. The wires are more like aluminum bars about the thickness of a 8 gauge nail and are pretty strong. I have applied pressure with my hands to verify its well made and wont break. The racket end is about the size of a badminton set and the handle is the size of a tennis racket. It houses 2 C batteries. The test is how well it shocks. My first attempt sold me on it. I found a large carpenter ant and threw it onto the bars. The second it touched, electricity sparked (made a loud pop) and the ant exploded and landed about 4 feet away. It was enough that my kids didn't want to be anywhere near it or attempt to use it. I next used it on a small moth flying in my house. This did not spark, I'm assuming do to the size and little to no body mass, but i didn't release the button right away and the moth turned red and smoldered.You could see the burn going through it. I have been waiting for a large gathering of bugs outside my house in a swarm to take a swing or two at. The issue is getting use to swinging it at bugs. Fly's are pretty fast and can be hard to hit. In the end this thing is in no way a toy and does its job well. Update I have a gazebo I am building and am currently putting in the screening. Flies are coming in like crazy. I decided to get this out because, my sugar gliders, eat flies and I figured I can score them an easy meal. I have been using it and for small insects, its pretty lethal. Some flies that land on it die, and if you let off some juice, you can see their wings move from the nerves. Pretty morbid, I know. Anyways, this makes a pretty loud crack when the bugs touch it, but I'm finding larger bugs (and some smaller) are not killed by this. I hit a fly 4 times in the air, each time the fly created a spark, but did not go down. Now i don't know if these are local flies, or ones from Krypton, but many larger insects can take the shock. Most smaller ones die. Larger ones it's a toss up between death, wounded to the point they can't fly or laughing it off. I have even had a few horse flies come in. If you have never seen a horse fly, count yourself lucky. They are about the size of Mothra from the old Godzilla movies. The few that I've had, have gone down but not died. I usually just whack them and put them out of their misery before being eaten (by my gliders of course). I originally said this is not a toy, but I am finding it REALLY FUN to use.

I have had lesser versions, which were my "gateway" instruments of Death. They were effective and more affordable. But over time , I discovered I needed more. This is a proper tool for the Professional Executioner. The frame is larger and more durable. The batteries (2-C size) provide louder Pops, brighter Sparks and more Kills than the run of the mill double A units. There is only one push button switch (real men don't need "safety" switches), which makes it easier to use. The proper use, at least indoors, is not to run around wildly swinging a badminton size racquet. You wait for the fly to land, then starting 2' away, you slowly bring the instrument of destruction closer and closer. I don't know why, but it's like the flys can't see the wires, so they don't make a run for it until they are too close to usually escape. POW! The first blast usually wings them, and they are stunned enough you might leave them for dead. But, as the executioners Manual says, once is not usually enough once you get to fly size. If you have a conscience, smash their apparently inanimate body with a paper towel and throw them away. If, however, you have crossed the line to a ruthless insect executioner, who seeks revenge for the millions of humans who have been killed over the millennia by disease spread by these godless, cold blooded, exoskeleton scourges of humanity, you will carefully pick up their little bodies, drop them on top of the executioner where gravity will pin them to the wires and when they start to twitch, hit the switch. I call this the "Dance of Death". They will Snap Crackle and Pop! Sparks will fly! The air will reek of vaporized insect guts! It's good to be at the top of the food chain again.

This thing is the best . I upgraded the c cells to slightly larger TIF batteries from a tif combustible leak detector so instead of 1.5 volts they are 2. 2 volt cells and it blows bugs apart . Fries them instantly .

Yes, the bigger bugs may not die instantly... But there's satisfaction in this as well. I don't mind a double tap here and there. Why didn't I have one of these before? No mess, just a fried crispy bug. Sorry vegans.

Expensive but best zapper so far that it has battery which u can change it after time

Works great

Vivo al sur de México, el lugar es lluvioso y caluroso, por lo tanto hay demasiados mosquitos de dengue y moscas. Adquirí dos Zappers de esta marca como reemplazo de dos de la marca "ZAP IT!", las cuales me duraron 2 meses y tres semanas de uso diario (una dejó de cargar por USB y la otra dejó de funcionar la malla electrizada). Después de 3 meses de uso diario (sin exagerar, el mundo se puede acabar pero los mosquitos en donde vivo no) puedo decir que estos son más efectivos y duraderos para matar mosquitos y si se golpea de manera correcta, también contras moscas. La abertura entre cada fila de alambre es la adecuada para matar al instante los mosquitos (se quedan pegados a la malla y si el golpe fue muy brusco se achicharran al instante), eso si, el sonido el sonido que aparece cuando matas moscas o mosquitos puede ser fuerte, y el destello también. Con las moscas las aturde si no se les pega bien, pero con dos zapes mueren, depende del tamaño de la mosca. Mantén este objeto lejos de niños y mascotas, al ser curiosos puedes recibir una descarga al tocarlo. Puntos a favor: Duradero (3 meses y contando, tiene garantía de dos años, lo cual parece no va ser necesario por la robustez del Zapper), es corto (mide 43 cm) en comparación con otros Zappers que miden cerca de 50 cm, eficiente (mata mosquitos al instante y si se llega a golpear bien las moscas, también), Cómodo en la mano (tengo mano de tamaño mediano, el zapper es genial al tacto, muy cómodo y práctico), Funciona con pilas AA que NO INCLUYE (me parece más práctico con con carga USB). Puntos negativos: El destello puede lastimar los ojos (evita verlo), el sonido en lugares de eco puede rezumbar. Los puntos negativos valen la pena si tengo que proteger a mi familia de mosquitos (además del dengue, la hinchazón en la piel), avispas, moscas, etc.

Despite putting the best batteries inside, it does not kill any fly on impact. It just zaps them to the ground, but they are very much still alive and will fly again if left. Normal sized flies need two or more zaps to be downed. Expensive for nothing.
