Great little zappe
I like that you can stand it on its handle as well as using it to swat the annoying little bugs. The uv light is strong enough to attract mosquitoes in the night but not to bright that it interferes with your sleep.
It's a Kille
?? Sitting outside for a BBQ and extra guests? All you want is congenial conversation, juicy burger, extra onions and free wine but NO.. bleedin’ flies… Well ** GOOD NEWS!!! ** !! YES !! WOW!! Just turn on, wave this thing around and watch (!) *fly death* It’s better than any fireworks event or a Charles Bronson movie.. Just buy and die flies !* BOING / KERZAP!! * ! Do you feel lucky punk? (sorry, that was Clint Eastwood). Errm yes.. it’s good… Make my day…
This is amazing.
I rarely write reviews.. definitely not the day of receiving an item. However, I have been driven crazy by about 10 flies that have occupied our kitchen for the past week, and yet in an instant this gadget has got rid of the problem.
Whilst I do not like the killing, by electrocution – the sound, the crackle, the not completely dead fly mangled stuck to uv wand bit that I have to clean I still need to rave about this thing. My literal increasing dementedness caused by the flies, in a week that has seen them get more irritating by the day (culminating in them landing on my face), has meant that on balance I’m able to reconcile the ick factor.
I would say read instructions/ reviews first if only to avoid going in on your first attempt disturbing the flies and thinking you can get this done with an aggressive game of mid air fly tennis. Doesn’t work!
We found it was a slow calm effort that was needed holding the thing over the spot where they are, and bringing it closer slowly, and they weirdly just seem to fly into it.
Basically this weird ugly bulky frankly slightly disgusting possibly inhumane thing is beyond amazing and I wholeheartedly recommend if you suddenly have a fly issue. (You do not need this for fruit flies – that’s solved with the bowl of apple cider vinegar w/ the holes pierced in cling film cover fyi).
At last, a fly killer that really works…
A few months ago, I tried two highly rated electric fly zappers from different brands. Neither attracted houseflies, so I returned them for refunds. They claim to use UV technology, but I suspect they’re better for attracting mosquitoes. Living in the UK, my main issue is houseflies. As a last resort, I decided to try this one.
My first impression of the product was its good build quality. It feels robust, nicely designed and well-finished. When it arrived, there was a housefly in my home, so I gave it a try.
The sliding switch on the side of the handle has three positions:
– Off (lower),
– Ready (middle position, green light comes on, then activated by the spring-loaded round button which then brings on the red light while keeping it pressed)
– Permanently on (higher position, brings on a blue-lit web design).
You can use it as a swatter or fold the handle 90 to stand it upright on a flat surface. I opted to use it as a swatter and with satisfaction caught the housefly surprisingly quickly. I was pleased with it’s effectiveness, compared to my previous fly killers.
Regarding noise levels, when a fly touches the electric mesh, it makes a loud cracking sound for an instant, which can be startling the first time. However, it remains silent when switched on without any action.
Since then, I’ve caught several flies with it. While it doesn’t always kill on the first touch—sometimes requiring a second attempt—usually the first strike is enough.
I know that catching flies isn’t easy because they move so fast, but this device is much better than my previous stationary types. With this at least I can actively chase the flies instead of just waiting for them to come to a device that never attracted them anyway.
Pros:
* Good build quality and design.
* Effectiveness and ease of use to do its job.
* Quite fast charging and good battery life.
Cons:
* Not cheap.
* Cracking sound on fly contact.
* Blue light does not, and is not claimed to attract flies.
* Can result in a mild shock if the mesh is touched (this happened to me).
Overall, I think this offers reasonable value for money and I’m definitely glad I bought it. I’m giving it four stars rather than five only because, while it’s better than my previous purchases, this still requires effort, and doesn’t attract flies to it. That said, for what it is, I’m happy to recommend it.
I hope this review was helpful
Best fly zapper EVER!!!!
Wow! We’ve had fly zappers before, usually cheap battery operated ones. This is a whole new level, the power in this is great. One point of contact does the job, the targeted bug is usually disintigrated!! It’s really loud so you know it’s working. I like that there’s an option to have it on all the time so you don’t have to keep pushing the button.
Possibly best purchase this year as I hate moths!!!
How satisfying!!
Now,I’m not a sadistic person,but the zapping/popping of disease ridden flies is so satisfying. I didn’t realise frying flies could smell so bad,and smoke so much,so make sure you can get to an open door or window fast,to tap the racquet outside.
The trap is really effective in killing flies and is probably one of the best buys I’ve made on Amazon.
Well worth the money and the entertainment value!
I have never opened and started using anything I have ordered as quickly as I did when this arrived. It came fully charged and was in use within five minutes of unboxing. This device was a last resort for us but we are under siege – the fly paper did not attract the bluebottles taking over our home, and our home made vinegar traps did not catch anything at all.
So armed with this in one hand and a handheld vacuum in the other, I was fully equipped to regain control of our house. I found it easier to zap the flies as they landed on a window, rather than swinging mid-air, as they are too quick. Maybe having two would be better, to get them from both angles.
I can’t help but shriek every time I get one, I don’t know if I’ll get used to the sound and smell.
The device is smaller than it looks in other reviewers photos and the charging stand is not necessary, as it can charge and lean on its side when folded. But for an extra 3 the stand gives it that little bit extra elevation on the table. The battery lasts us longer than expected, we’ve had it a week and have charged it twice, and we left it on constantly for much of that time.
Good stuff
Type C charging makes it easy. Can be left to stand whilst on to try catch flies. Can be used like a tennis racket. Two switch settings, one is constantly on so just swing away, or one requires you to press a button to actually zap! Only complaint is that cluster flies need to be hit a few times to actually do damage!
We live right next to a belt of trees and this year the number of flies indoors has been the worst we’ve ever known. They drive our poor little dog mad. We’ve got a chain door curtain, we have hanging fly trap bottles outside the door and today we even hung a Redtop fly catcher in the trees and hope that will start working soon.
We’ve been using the old fashioned fly swatters but wanted to try one of these.
If there’s a downside it is that you have to be careful swatting flies against a hard surface in case you damage it, whereas with an ordinary plastic one it doesn’t matter.
BUT when you swat a fly against a curtain or on upholstery it is so satisfying to hear the crackle and see the spark! Some of the flies have made an awful burning smell too, but not all of them.
I haven’t had any success in killing any by wafting it around trying to hit one in flight but I’ll keep trying.
As I write this there are no flies anywhere indoors so hopefully our dog will get a decent night’s sleep.
Just be careful using it near plants. I thought I’d killed a fly which was resting on a plant but the swatter made contact with a leaf and sparked. I apologised profusely to the poor plant for any pain caused.
No apologies are due to the flies.
***update! After a few days I have perfected my technique for hard surfaces. By approaching very slowly and slowly lowering the bat onto the fly I have killed quite a few this way rather than wafting it about.
This is awesome. Delivery fast. Well packaged. So it has a few features that I think are awesome. It has a great little charging stand, which can also be used and on while charging. It has a light for the evening that attracts the majority of those pesky critters that annoy and bite during the night. You do have to get used to that ZAP sound though if your sleeping. First few times it was a bit daunting.
It’s really powerful. That ZAP SOUND and then obliterates the fly and mozzie. I wouldn’t use it near my tv as the power on this little thing puts out is strong. The satisfaction when swinging this at the flies and getting rid is sooo satisfactory. Would I recommend yes yes and yes
In the annals of kitchen warfare, a new legend has been forged — the Buzbug Electric Fly Swatter, a beacon of hope in the battle against the fruit fly insurgency. This is not just a tale of swatting and zapping; it’s a story of strategy, seduction, and the ultimate sting operation.
Imagine a stage set for a tragedy, with a mug of wine as the centerpiece, its bouquet a perfumed lure for the unsuspecting fruit fly. But this is no ordinary mug — atop its rim rests the Buzbug, not upright like the sword of a warrior, but laid on its side – a silent guardian. It covers the mug’s opening completely, a flat, electrified lid lying in ambush. This is the coliseum where fruit flies meet their electrifying fate.
As the flies descend, lured by the promise of vinous bliss, they encounter not the sweet release of inebriation but the zesty zap of the Buzbug. It’s a swift, shocking embrace — a dance of volts and wings where only one partner survives. The fruit flies, in their quest for the fermented treasure, find themselves in an electrifying predicament, a demise most shocking.
With each zap and crackle, the Buzbug weaves a tale of victory, a symphony of sparks that sings the song of fallen wings.
And so, the Buzbug stands — not just a tool, but a monument to human ingenuity, turning the tide in the age-old battle against the fruit fly. It’s not just a fly swatter; it’s a statement, a testament to the fact that sometimes, the best way to catch a fruit fly is with a little bit of wine and a little bit of wattage.
And now, a word to the wise on the Buzbug’s Achilles’ heel: the battery. It seems the Buzbug’s stamina for zapping is akin to a sprinter who’s skipped leg day — impressive in a burst but tires quickly. So, keep this valiant knight of the night plugged in, lest you find yourself mid-battle with a fruit fly and your electric steed decides it’s time for a nap. It’s the one ‘bug’ in the system, but fear not, for with a constant stream of electric love, the Buzbug will keep the fruit flies dancing the zap tango all night long.
May the Buzbug’s saga resonate with triumph in the hearts of all who read. To the fallen flies, we salute you. To the Buzbug, we bow. Zap on, noble warrior.
