Electric Fly Swatter Racket - Indoor Bug Zapper for Home, Fly Zapper, Mosquito Killer, Gnat Control, Pest Insect Catcher, Fly Swatter & Bug Zapper Outdoor, Indoor Mosquito Zapper

This is a great fly swatter! It comes with batteries, it has a very comfortable grip and it works like a charm. It is light weight and it is reasonably priced. Flies have no chance and it works with other insects too. It is also good exercise.

Somehow some big black flies got in the house and started multiplying. This swatter works so good, although sometimes it doesn’t kill the fly right away- it stuns it but you have to get it a second time while it’s laying on the floor or whatever to kill it. It delivers a loud crackling zap when contact with a fly occurs. I got rid of all the flies in 2 days and they haven’t came back, but if they do, I’m ready for them!

In a word, I am THRILLED with this device! I ended up buying several of these.You see, mosquitos are nemesis. They go after me like I'm an all-you-can-eat buffet, with flashing neon signs pointing they way! Here in Texas, in summertime I kill typically 30 or so mosquitos a day on my back porch. It's satisfying to get the visual and audible spark and POW!, respectively, each time I nail one. (As an aside, I don't really care about flies; they don't pose any issues for me.) One of my friends gave me a similar device from Harbor Freight. It was bigger, but flimsy. Not even worth using. This one is well-built.That said, it does suffer from one bothersome design flaw: The issue is that the battery compartment door frequently slides down / off when I'm swatting the bloodsuckers. So I have to stop and fix it. Or I should say, I did, until I came up with a fix. At first, I used masking tape, then tried double-sided velcro wrapped around. Those worked, but each had drawbacks. Finally, I realized that if I just only partially screw in the screw just beneath the battery slider door, it will stop the door from sliding off (I ended up using a similar but slightly longer screw). It will still slide when you don't want it to, but only a fraction of an inch (instead of coming clean off). The only catch there is that the handle isn't tight if you do that.It turns out that they designed in a small loop at the end of the handle, presume for hanging on a nail or such. So I put a secondary small screw with nut there, and so the combination of screws plus nut does the trick! Problem solved! (See the photo for that fix.)Another small issue I discovered when I was looking into modifying it for better--in particular, rechargeable-- batteries (I'm an electrical engineer; more in a moment on batteries) is that they put a couple of "bleed" resistors in place to drain off the charge from wire mesh after you let go of the zap button. I didn't want charge to be wasted that way, so I took them out. Probably not a concern for the average user. But for me, "The Mosquito Slayer", I wanted to maximize every milli-Joule with each battery charge. But back to batteries...It did take me awhile to find suitable rechargeable batteries to give maximum in-between charging and sufficient zap each time, and ones that the device would accept, since it was designed with a narrow voltage input range. (This really does count as a fairly substantial secondary design flaw, in my opinion.) The first rechargeable ones I tried didn't work at all. Why? Because they were a just a couple of tenths of a volt less than disposable batteries. The LED wouldn't even come on.I ordered some beefy ones that were 1.7V each, which is significant since AA batteries are typically rated at 1.25V. What happened? They didn't work either (again, LED didn't even come on).Ultimately, I went with Tenevolots Lithium rechargeable. They land in a voltage sweet spot (1.5V each), and are higher voltage--but not too high!--than typical alkaline or carbon AAs. I always go for earth-smart solutions, so avoid using throw-away ones whenever I can. Now I can zap away--literally hundreds of mosquitos--before I have to recharge.

I can't begin to tell you how many flies I've killed with this! Since I'm no good at tennis I thought this would be a stretch for me to use, but I mastered it in a short amount of time. My dog even knows not to touch it.

Worked great until the batteries died. Replaced the batteries and nothing. Will not work at all .Can't return it return date has passed.

In my house, we have a terrible mosquito problem. This zapper has really helped in destroying them one by one. Keep in mind you do have to get the bug pretty well, and the electrocution is strong (states not to use it around flames and firework stands) but it is light weight, small, and easy to use for those pesky bugs.

I bought the AA battery-powered version, and I would definitely say that I regret the purchase. This device wasn't powerful enough to kill *fruit flies* – it would stun them, and then a few minutes later they'd be flying around my kitchen again. And now, the thing won't turn on at all...! Save your money.

Update: The swatter also works well to patrol the mosquitoes’ haunts to zap them even before I can see or hear them. It works as well as an aerosol killer without my needing to breathe that very same poisoned air.The first snap and flash of this swatter doing its job startled me, but now I’m delighted to be so well armed against mosquitoes and their tiny whines! I’d also like to highly recommend the seller, who was prompt and courteous when I contacted them about a battery cover that arrived broken. Problem solved!

Brilliant. So satisfying. Zaps flies, mosquitoes, Daddy long legs, wasps!You hear a crackle sound when they touch the bat and can see a little flash from the metal too. First few times we did it, we were quite shocked!!Not dangerous though, hubby did the silly thing of touching the metal whilst pushing the zapping red button and felt nothing! (He's daft, what can I say?).Anyway, if you want an effective, easy way to terminate flying bugs then this is well worth purchasing!!

The racket has a very small surface which makes swatting flies difficult.

I had several cheap versions of this itemBattery compartments were rubbish and didn’t connect when neededHowever this product is brilliant with a firm click each timeThe fact that there is a lifetime quarantee is a bonusWell worth the money and highly recommended

On unpacking I could not get it to work, changed the supplied batteries now working. Would have had given 5 stars ⭐️ if they had worked

Combining two fantastic pastimes - tennis and fly slaughter with electricity!Creates a flash worthy of a thermonuclear device on contact with flying insects coupled with a “CRACK” that will make you jump out of your skin every time! Works a treat!
