Pesky fly had been bothering me for days! I’ve tried everything to get rid of these small black flies.
Even sticky strips.
Definitely works and you can see from the pic I finally got it.
Makes a high pitched cracke/zap when it comes in contact with the bug.
As a particularly sick and twisted individual I really love this. I’ve blown hundreds of annoying bugs to bits with it. They go with quite a crack. Nice and reliable, easy to use, effective and hours of fun. Great job.
Works really really well. And is actually quite satisfying, cooking a fly on the racket. It’s been knocked about and still no issues. Good size, not to big or small. Fully recommend
What a product! I was a bit nervous about buying one of these over a zapper that plugs into the wall, but the price was good and the North of Scotland has been excessively hot recently, so I needed something to get rid of all these flies!! I got home from work today, put the batteries in and WOW! The flies were GONE!! They drop on the slightest touch, the noise is quite loud if its a normal sized (or larger) fly, but they deserve it for coming into my home uninvited. Basically no noise on fruit flies! I was so happy I held it up in victory and cheered (see attached image), I am in awe of this killer tennis racket.
10/10, couldnt recommend this more!
Had trouble with moths invading my house last year and making their selves comfy in my home, got tired of seeing them when I went to bed and when I woke up like an unwanted ex so I busted out this bad boy and reduced their population right down to an endangered species. This also works well for small flies.
Light weight a bit annoying you’ve to hold the button to keep it on as opposed to a turn on and off button, but very effective light and easy to use
Add 2 extra 100nF caps with a 9v battery and IT REALLY WORKS.
I’ve been pretty aggressive with this thing, and it’s held up. Smacked it against walls and corners to make sure I get the flies before they fly away, and it just serves its purpose perfectly. Make sure you have batteries
I bought this to replace another make of fly killing tennis racquet that I broke swatting a fly. This one is sturdier and better designed. Also runs off 2 AA batteries & is therefor cheaper. I highly recommend it. You do have to be quick enough to swat the fly but when you do, this kills it. I’ve just incinerated a fly with it, which was very satisfying.
Running around after flies is not something we do much of now anymore with this. They do go with a bang though so little warning there. But does the job
Need to be bit of a tennis pro to hit them. Getting better though……
This fly electric fly killer is simply the best one I had ever used in my life . So simple to use gets the job done. Worth every penny
I found it sorta stuns them, which is fine by me. Worth the money.
Just the colour green for my husband to take fishing with him.its easy to use,when you catch 1 it makes a spark noise which is so funny to hear . Whish I had bought 1 sooner.
Took the fly swatter to an area in the south of France where there were quite a few midges that were very hungry. Still for bitten a bit but the racket considerably reduced the local population of flying insects. Good fun too……
Quite handy in keeping the insects and flies at bay. Easy to use.
Love this fly zapper. Feels sturdy to hold and swat. If u manage to catch the buggers coz their so fast or like me u lose them against dark carpet it catches them easily and one press of the button their dealt with. I would recommend definitely.
Brought this to deal with wasps/flies whilst camping and it worked a treat. It makes a spark on contact with the flying insect you are wanting to get rid of and if the button is held too long the critter you’ve whacked with this starts to smoke!! Not had one critter survive after being zapped by this beauty of a gizmo.
This has proven very helpful. I now keep it nearby in the lounge or even better in the kitchen as a fly can be a pain around food!
My husband loves using it too & as soon as sister saw it she asked me to get her on for her birthday. Now I have this I think it’s strangely a deterrent as we don’t seem to get so many flies.
No more!
These electric swatters really do as they claim. A direct hit is signalled by an amazingly loud ‘ZAP!’ and tiny lightning arcs. Medium-size houseflies (the type that are common in the countryside) tend to be killed instantly; bluebottles however are made of sterner stuff and tend to be stunned. Keeping the button pressed down for a few more zaps solves that. (Don’t overdo it – I made one smoke doing that.)
The only real downside is that it draws attention to any poor tennis skills. I’ve found the best results for all flies is to try to apply backspin; that way they pass through the outer mesh at an angle and are instantly zapped by bridging the gap to the inner electric mesh. Laugh all you like – you’ll be doing it too after yours arrives!
All in all, thoroughly recommended.
Watch them die if you want that added joy,
Let’s of quite a bang when you get a direct hit so it’s put me off seeing if it will give the wife a jolt incase I’m on a murder charge,
If you use without holding in button and fly is trapped between mess you can then fry in like some 80s horror movie style
Easy to use and quick tap on side of bin disposed of fly/insect.
Very sturdy; value for money; small enough to not be obtrusive in house.
This is an effective tool to get rid of flies and I would recommend it.
Love this product. So easy to catch house flies and hasn’t failed yet. Saves me chasing flies with an old magazine and when I swatted them, I had to clear up the mess from the window. This catches and kills the fly quickly and with no window smears
This kills flys very well. Not so much other small animals.
So much better than using fly spray. Quick and easy and can also be used on spiders
Surprisingly powerful and easy to use and a solid unit.
So much more fun than having a fly killer plugged in. Within minutes the air was filled with the smell of fried flies! The sheer amount of crispy fly corpes on the floor confirms that this is what you need in your life
Excellent product. Living in the Countryside we have little insects flying around when we have the French Windows open. This product gets rid of them quickly. Would highly recommend.
This is such an effective way to zap any flies that get into the house.
Brilliant and easy to use been plagued by flys and wasps for ages this solves my problem
Easy to use, light but weighty enough to deliver a speedy forehand, backhand or smash to those pesky insects. Doesn’t devour batteries and is seriously addictive too, I long to hear the crack of insect on electric
Killed a HUGE wasp with this. Sprayed it down with white vinegar to get it hobbling, then whacked it with this which DECIMATED it. Had to spray it after with a few things to make sure it was completely dead, but this worked wonders.
Over the moon with this purchase, we’ll made and easy to use. Works brilliantly
This turns being plagued by flies into a fun active sport. It works and it’s fun, fun fu
Does the job on mosquitos. Feature request – please can it have a smaller mesh for killing fruit flies as well?
Sorry but this just didn’t work for me – ok it does give you a work out swatting around for flies but as a fly killer it wasn’t that effective give me an oven glove every time
No more batteries to throw away. Unlike other zappers this one sounds like a gun going off when it makes contact with pesky flies, bugs or spiders!
Love zapping those horrid clothes eating moths. So hard to swat but this just zaps them. Battery lasts well and its easy to use
I would like to see the light come on when the button is pressed so you know it’s on and the battery’s haven’t died or even if it’s working, other then that really good
Nice, could be bigger as it’s not plain sailing to catch flies!
This is weird and wonderful gadget. It looks like a tennis racket but smaller. The charge lasts for ages.
You need to practice as the insect needs to touch the wire so accuracy is important. Don’t flail it as its heavy and could cause some damage to your nick nacks.
You’ll know when the insect has connected as there is loud and satisfying crack! Sometimes even a spark.
Deals with most flying or crawling invasions.
Flies do not get away now. Easy to clear a room. May take more than one charge for larger flies. Some big ones are just stunned and will wake up, just be aware and handle accordingly.
Brilliant gadget. Have struggled with cheaper models which are inconsistent and usually have battery compartments that allow batteries to ‘disconnect’ on use. This is not only very efficient but also gives a very satisfying ‘zzzap’ on contact. Bigger flies may need an extra touch wherever they fall, a small price to pay.
Very efficient for zapping most bugs but large blue bottles need more than one zap which is very frustrating.
Some smaller flies are slow fliers and it’s fairly easy to swat but high speed largish bluebottles with their wits about them are often a challenge. Need to practice your swing, perhaps after tennis. If you hit one there’s usually a popping sound and whiff of burning fly which can be unpleasant around mealtimes especially. Some people seem to delight in using these swatters and will sit for hours swivelling their eyes and head indoors or even outdoors hoping to catch flies or even wasps. Is a bit obsessive and perhaps they should see a psychologist or counsellor. Can cause family arguments over who should have the swatter. For those people this gadget is great value for money but they should feel uneasy that the highpoints of their life include this pursuit and it has come to this.
We had these big flies coming into the house as it got hotter outside. This was perfect. It’s all about timing and being aware of your surroundings before u swing:-) my 8 year old got a few with this.
After being harassed by flying bastards for a few weeks , it was time to exact some revenge . Electric bat fly killer engaged !! Really satisfying when you connect with one, big spark , loud crack – result !!! Only downside is I’m not an ATP pro, so often miss. However, when my backhand is in tune, all flying objects fall smouldering to the floor . Love it !!
It’s fun to zap those pesky flies. You do have to really catch it for the device to work so it could do with a stronger current so it’s quicker to blast them
Have a fly phobic daughter so great to have in the house. Make a very satisfying crack when you make contact with the winged devils. It an instant kill as not quite carrying enough juice but enough to stun and then kill after. Really handy fast USB charge
Needs 2 x AA batteries which aren’t supplied, very solid and it’s so strong it actually made me jump the 1st couple of times I had a direct hit. Takes a few goes to get successful hits but definitely works. I have farmland in front and behind my house, the door is open for the dogs so lots of flies getting in the house, this is brillia
Simple and easy to use and gets the job done.
I bought this for my husband who thinks its great! Very easy to use but you have to sneak up on the fly ! Much more satisfying than a rolled-up newspaper.
A very strong swatter. My son cannot recommend this bat enough. Very sturdy and not at all bendy as others have been in the past. I would highly recommend this swatter to others.
Worth the extra money as it is a solid bat that actually zaps ( with a zap noise). The battery compartment lid is a bit dodgy. I had to bend mine a bit to make sure the lid doesn’t come off.
It works. However that said, you need to be quick, and not get over excited to break lightbulbs or crockery in the process lol.
I’m not sure I’d buy this kind of fly zapper again, however if you feel like a good workout (tennis) and want to have a bit of fun while trying to catch that nasty fly, then this could be for you lol.
Works well. Living in the countryside, we have huge numbers of flies and this implement helps enormously.
Wave it around and ZAP! ZING! No more fly
Believe it or not I use it to swat flying objects and spiders as well. It’s a bit fiddly as you have to turn it on, and then press a button at the point at which the object hits it. I
After using fly killing spray last summer I decided to try this device. It is, without doubt, the best item I’ve bought for a very long time. Killing insects instantly feels better than gassing them with the spray. Can’t say how long the batteries last as I’ve only used it for one week but its by my side at home pretty much constantly. A great product. I have no hesitation in recommending it. I may actually buy another. One for each landing.
Flies dodge around this like they know what’s going to happen – if/when you get them there’s a CRACK and a whiff of ozone as you vapourise whatever bug is bugging you, but you do need to be able to hit it first.
Good item although the batteries can slip inside compartment so do check if it stops
Awesome swatter. I became increasing annoyed with the cast of A Bugs Life making themselves at home in my kitchen when I fancied having the door open on a hot evening. The lightening and the loud crack confirms we are keeping the cocky twats at bay
Recommended, my sister has a different more expensive zapper but admits mine is better at killing flies.
Can’t wait for the wasps to start their annual annoyance. Am I a bad person? Maybe but I finally feel I have the upper hand against flying pests.
It feels quite well made and it definitely works. Make sure there are no flies caught in it or your house will smell like charred flies lol.A quick tap will get rid of any flies trapped in there.Overall happy with it as it works very well.
Not easy actually catching the flies but that’s because flies have Ninja moves, not because the zapper is no good. Also I discovered it comes in handy for zapping my daughter’s boyfriend, just to keep him in line!!
Construction feels a bit flimsy but for the money I wouldn’t complain.
All in all good sport, whatever you are zapping!
It’s ok, it does kill flies but not with a zap like I expected. You have to kind of hold it on the fly once the fly lands, it doesn’t kill them by swiping it through the air as I expected.
Much higher voltage than the one it replaced, off the scale on my meter. The slightest touch and the flies don’t get up again.
One (maybe) drawback is it sometimes seems to explode them and I can’t see where they’ve done…
I don’t dislike the item its great when I don’t miss the buggers. I’ll never play badminton my aim is terrible
Well made (it hasn’t broken yet after a month’s use) and gives a very satisfying zap when the little buggers are caught in the crosshairs. Ruining my tennis action though, needs far too much wrist.
I’d found the fly spray wasn’t even working and didn’t like the chemicals around the children. I didn’t want to get the passive electrocution machine in case it’s didn’t attract them.
This is a targeted device and required a bit of skill as the flies don’t want to be whacked, but it works well on contact. 100% better than the spray. My forehand is improving immensely.
Good value swatter – does the job although sometimes it just stuns the bigger flies and you have to go at them again. All in all, a good purchase.
Works well! Fun for all the family. The current score for flies caught are 5 to me, 2 to my mum, and 3 to my dad. Will order one for Nan too, excellent purchase!
Use this three times once the tip of my finger and that zap was for sure sign it work if not the green lights when you press the button and twice on a bug and one got brought back to light after being dizzed out lol and when out the window so all and all great item to have never go back to random running around the house
it works well on small insects but not 100% on big bluebottles
Works a treat, it basically frys incects which makes it give off a foul stench, you have to whack them or track them with the racket so they climb inside the racket otherwise it won’t do anything to them.
We’ve had a couple of these and this has been the best, one hit and he is well and truly zapped! Other ones we have had we had to hold the buttom down while the fly keeps buzzing a terrifying death- this one seems pretty instant. Nice, thick and sturdy too, not easy to snap in half if you accidentally get carried away….
I read a lot of reviews before my purchase. My opinion is it works pretty well but I have to say, catching a fly isn’t easy, and when you get one sometimes a single spark doesn’t execute them. I’ve found that the best way to kill flies is to bring them to a window and put the racket over them, eventually a fly gets in and then you can kill it or even burn it.
Occasionally it does take time to catch them but you feel great when you do!
BTW if someone said here that doesn’t work then perhaps it’s a problem with the item otherwise it does work.
I bought this for my dad and he is so pleased the increase in flies over the lockdown period has really been irritating him especially during the mini heatwaves we have had. He called me as soon as it arrived on a video call to show me just how efficient it was! Also great as it gave him a bit of exercise whilst in strict lockdown!
Its OK but if the fly is of the lager variety they are only stunned. Then they fly off again.
Pretty much does what it says on the tin.. the burnt out flies is a bit smelly like burnt hair.. when you manage to catch them.. no fault of the racket but they seem slightly savvy to my efforts..
The air produced in waving the racket sometimes ushers the flies along rather than catches them would be my only negative.. so possibly slower movements are more effective.
As insight, one attack mode was to wait until they are on a wall and basically batter the bat against the wall. This has a high success rate but does eventually mean the frame of the bat takes some damage. In our case – we bought another. Such that now the Samurai technique used is to hold one bat in place higher in anticipated flight trajectory while (slowly) swinging the other bat towards the flys. Double bubble Fly Sandwich! The zapping of success is most satisfying.
Best lockdown fun ever listening to our insect friends burn on this powerful bit of fun
It’s so powerful our dog jumped of the sofa in sheer panic as it cracked with electric and burned the insects.
A real blue shock with a descent smell of burning , if you don’t remove the carcass and then kill another you will have a crispy critter!
I doubt our vegan friends would approve. Way better than your cheap ones from Poundland and similar places
Very satisfied… does what it says it will do and good value for money.
I ordered this based on the decent reviews – and have been very impressed with the results.
I’d say that trying to get fast moving bugs isn’t the easiest (should have worked on my forehand more in tennis)… But most flies and mosquitoes are easy to get.
The snap and pop of the fly exploding is strangely exciting and satisfying
Seems sturdy and easy to use but we haven’t managed to swat anything yet – maybe because our ceilings are too high and the bugs fly out of reach!!
So no idea if it actually works but it should do if we can get in the right place at the right time.
We’ve had various of this sort of thing in the past but this is the most impressive. Some other bats, you need to look and see whether you hit or missed. With this, there is no doubt. I know it sounds bad but it literally exploded the fly like an indoor firework. They definitely don’t suffer!
It works really well on smaller flies, not so much the massive ones! Makes one hell of a crackling noise when you get one, very satisfying. Spent ages chasing flies in our house. However my partner accidentally bumped it against something and the handle broke. So be careful!
If the fly I s airborne it really gets zapped if you mange to bat it, but if it is on any kind of surface it difficult to zap.
