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.

This thing is amazing! I've had what appear to be overgrown fruit flies in my house for weeks! Nothing I did would get rid of them. They never landed, so fly swatters wouldn't work, fly strips, fruit fly traps, nothing. I tried it all. It was disgusting and driving me insane. I finally broke down and got this, and wish I would've done it sooner! Within 5 min all the flies were gone! And the zap was so satisfying!

I had one of these before and I liked it, it worked great so I thought I would buy another. When I received it I was surprised it was much smaller than the one I had before. needless to say the larger one is better check the size!

Zap ⚡️

As soon as I opened the package I was started at the small size, but shrugged it off and started using it. It wasnt until now, 3 weeks later I realize I got ripped off. Yes I installed the batteries and began to use it but I'm still going to try to get my money back. This tiny unit only measures 17.5" x 6.25" and is 1" thick at the handle. ( Now go back and read the description.) It takes two AA batteries instead of the C size I was used to using. Yes, it works. Yes it is lightweight and easy to use, but NOT as described.

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.
