Kill Them All

If you hate bugs, and you're family hates bugs - buy this thing. It makes bug murder fun AND exciting. And it gets the damn job done. I've taken out a lot of critters, man. Mosquitos, flies? That's for beginners. Ever see one of those big water bugs in your NYC apartment? This thing will fry him like a chicken at KFC. It may take 30 solid seconds of electrocution, but this racquet will light his ass up. I've recently taken to using this to defend our porch from annoying yellow jackets and nasty hornets. It takes some balls, but you'll get the hang of it after a while. We leave them around the house to make sure one is always at arms length. Happy hunting

We have all had great fun giving and receiving this

We bought this a gag gift for a cousin that is always chasing flys. We have all had great fun giving and receiving this. It should work but we won't know for sure until next spring because all the flys died in Denver during the first snow. Quick delivery.

Oh Gnats!

The true smells of summer.....There is nothing like cooking a great tortilla soup, pulling apart the chicken from a rotisserie. Mixing the spices, herbs, fresh jalapenos and peppers. Letting it simmer for hours, only to realize that you had left the chicken carcass out, and now it is smothered and covered in flies, gnats and possibly a horsefly. But then you remember, I am an American, I have an electrified tennis racket at my disposal. So you grab one quick spoonful of your simmering succulent soup and a swig of your drink nearby to give you the adrenaline and courage for the carnage you're about to perform. Electrified tennis racket in hand, you tip toe to the chicken carcass on the counter like Doc going after Bugs Bunny, you press the button, ensuring the red LED lights up on the death trap. Ever so gently place it over the carcass, and BAM. Nudge the carcass container and its like the best heat lightening storm you've ever witnessed in the South. Soon the true smell of summer emerges, electrified bugs. Worth its weight in gold.

Everyone wanted to use it

We had pantry moths and this was a part of our all out warfare. It was oddly satisfying to hear that sizzle when you executed one of those pesky bugs. Everybody wanted to do it. The mesh and button made this safe since we have grandkids around. Not the best build quality, but consistent with the price and has held up for us so far. BTW, spiders are really tough. They take two or three zaps before they go down.

Fun but not as fun as it could be

This is so fun to use on wasps, flys, spiders anything you don’t want around your house. I was a bit disappointed to find that this had safety feature the older electric flyswatters didn’t, such as the other wore protectant that prevents anything from being shocked unless it gets inside the wire. This is in actuality a good thing seeing my kids are notorious for hurting one another I couldn’t imagine what it would be like if this didn’t have safety precautions.

Yes, you need this. It's fun, SO GRATIFYING. I bring to all outdoor vendor shows, you never know the bug situation!

I may have created a wave of enthusiasm for these. I do holiday shows at a winery which is plagued by small fruit flies. I brought my own bug swatter, and ended up buying two of these to give to the owner - who spent the day happily tracking down and reeking havoc on the scourge. The entire winery was a buzz with the fun of of this thing. Why is this one different from other models: This one is more basic - once you put the batteries in, it's like there's no "safety" to hard-switch it off... there's a little red button on the handle which fits comfortably under your grip when you're using it, and that is what turns the racket "on." The down side is if you set this racket down when not in use, it's possible to depress the red button by accident and drain the battery. Some more expensive models have a hard OFF switch which addresses that issue. If you get one, I recommend you get more than one... whoever using it won't want to stop, and if you have a need for them... arming more people is way more fun. Yes, you can zap yourself. No, I don't recommend it, but it's more of a surprise than anything (just like touching metal after scuffing your feet, logically you know it's not bad, but you still don't go out of your way to do it on purpose past a certain age...) Fruit flies stand no chance. Larger bugs usually take more than one zap... but the way the threads on it are, there are 3 layers - an inner, small mesh, and an outer, on either side, wider gap mesh. Most larger bugs (wasps, house/horse flies) will get STUCK in that larger threading, so you can snap them a few times, pulsing the red button. I suggest a pulse and not continued zap until you can get the bug body outside or over a trash bin because... YOU ARE COOKING IT and inhaling cooked fly odor. And that's gross.. Really gross. So pulse zap to keep them incapacitated (flies will shake off a zap and get up again!) until you can get the racket outside and knock the bug out of it. I bring this to all of my vendor events because you never know - sometimes it's flies, sometimes those smaller flies that just hang in the air and don't move... like hovering helicopters... but keep trying to get in your face. Sometimes it's a wasp. And this year, at the winery, it was fruit flies that have come out in full force, without a nightly freeze their numbers do not dwindle! And they were so popular... I had to get more for the staff to play with, you could hear the wonderful sound of bugs being zapped all afternoon.

This product turns a bad chore of swatting a bug into a hunting sport

This product turns a bad chore of swatting a bug into a hunting sport. I take no joy out of killing anything. However, buds transform me into a primal hunter. With this new weapon, I have tipped the scale against those pecky creatures and have become a hero to my wife. I now can sleep at ease knowing my new weapon is at the ready to zap any winged intruder. Peace at last.

works great

Bought this for a fishing trip, took it with us to a cabin, I can truly say it was awesome to have around for the mosquitoes that wanted us for lunch! The outer mesh does not shock so it is safe to the touch but if you really want to try out the shock power you can get a finger to the inner wire, so I suggest keeping it out of kids hands. I have had it for over a month, it is still working strong, very happy with this purchase/product.

Have you heard about the Great Fruit Fly Massacre of 2015?

I previously owned a similar product (with wires only straight across, instead of three layers of webbing as in this product). It basically gave the flies a gentle tickle if they made contact with the wires, killing maybe 2% of the time. This unit, by contrast, kills on contact about 75% of the time, quite often literally vaporizing the insect. My apartment has been changed from a swarm of fruit flies to an almost no-fly zone. The only ding on this product is that, if you are killing hundreds and hundreds of insects, you will chew through batteries, and it's important to note that the little red LED on the handle indicates that you have some power, but not necessarily enough power to zap the bugs. If you are pretty sure an insect made contact with the swatter but you don't hear a ZAPPP, try fresh alkaline batteries (2xAA). Very highly recommended.

loved it, and got one for my mom

Bought one for myself, loved it, and got one for my mom. She's been swatting away having a ball. Even gets the little gnats and fruit flies. You can't hit a bug though, get it caught in the grates, then hit another one. I found you need to tap out the old fly first then it will re-establish the current. Kinda stuns when you touch yourself by accident moving the swatter. Flies sometimes come back to life sometimes so I just keep them on the zapper long enough to get them out the window.
