ZAP IT! Electric Fly Swatter Racket - 3,500 Volt Bug Zapper Racket - Battery-...

Much like your traditional bug zapper, this thing will get gooky with insects. I'm sure a antistatic brush or compressed air will blow the grill out. It seems to absolutely annihilate colonies of fruit flies quick on fresh batteries. It certainly does the job but if they begin getting away I suggest replacing the batteries because the arc loses power. It seems a bit sturdy in design though I wouldn't suggest swinging it around at a quick speed like a actual racket. It'll probably break if it hits something hard. Pressing it against a wall where flies landed seems very effective as they just fly right into it and cook away. It saves the trouble of fruit fly traps as this thing is pretty much a electrified tennis racket. It reminds me of a modded weapon from a video game. Lol. Even though I ordered the medium size it still is effective against flies in mid flight as well. Pops them right out of the air. I will probably try it against yellow jackets eventually. If you plan on purchasing it for lots of insects. I suggest getting plenty of batteries.

I bought it to take out mosquitos, and it does that really well. Hold the button, move it over the mosquito, they should get moved through the protective (for you) grill easily and get zapped with a few pops and sparks. Then you shake them out of the net (or find where they fell) Very clean and simple. Now the first issue is that protective mesh.. as other reviewers have noted for many products like this, it's hard to get big house flies to make contact with the electric net through it. Also, the voltage isn't enough to kill them outright. However, when you do get contact, it can stun them, making them easier pickings for a piece of tissue or even a spray. I still find this easier and cleaner than chasing them around with a fly swatter or chemical spraying the whole kitchen down in the process. And of course, gnat sized bugs, fruit flies? Pretty much just pass right through easily. But for fruit flies, just look up the apple cider-in-a-glass solution. Otherwise I'm pretty happy with this device.

I've used ZAP IT for years and love the product. I was disappointed I could not get one of these in the rechargeable version; however, it works just fine with getting the flying insects. Time will tell if I run through batteries.

So, every summer we get a bad fly problem due to this white mulberry bush in our back yard. It's seriously SO terrible! They mostly stay outside, but we do always end up with a lot inside. We decided to try this out after we were unable to shoo all the flies out the window and we bad at swatting then ourselves. Within 10 minutes of starting to use this they were all gone! Seriously so simple and quick to use, and a little fun too. And to me what makes it better than a traditional swatter is your KNOW it is dead cuz you hear the zap sound! And it isn't a quiet zap either! We've had a few stragglers that we're hiding during our initial sweep, but I think they're officially all gone now. Works better and faster than fly strips!!! We even plan to take it on our next camping trip to see how it helps with mosquitos too.

I love this thing. The other night I heard a mosquito buzzing around my head while trying to sleep. I grab the racket, swung it around and a few moments later…success.

Jump. Doesn't do much for the bugs. Waste of money

Ok, but very small. Not even close to racket size.

It’s summertime and as a result, my household has been dealing with an infestation of unwelcome drain gnats. We’d set traps for days now and they work well, but there’s always a couple lingering around that aren’t quite as stupid as their drowning counterparts. That’s where I purchased this bad boy to help and from the first zap, I was reborn. Not only is this device easy for anyone to use, it also has the most satisfying (albeit a bit frightening) zap noise each time it makes contact with a pesky bug. 10/10 purchase and I can’t wait to take it with us on camping trips next.

Con questa racchetta ho risolto il problema… si eliminano facilmente mosche e zanzare, ne ho già tre…

tres bon produit

Ich bin begeistert, da ich nicht damit gerechnet hatte, dass sie funktioniert. Habe bereits eine Lampe, die leider nicht funktioniert. Die Klatsche tötet Mücken sofort, hinterlässt keine Flecken und das Insekt kann einfach entsorgt werden. Größere Insekten benötigen etwas mehr Aufmerksamkeit...

This is a lot more sufficient than those small portable lamp ones. The main reason for getting this was because of mosquitoes biting my family and I at night during summer. So I’ve killed majority mosquitoes with it and it’s almost always got the job done like 95% of the time. I’ve also killed house spiders and flies as well as moths too. I would recommend that anyone who lives near lakes, ponds or rivers to get this because when summer hits mosquitoes breed so much in these bodies of water.

Ich habe für meinen Spanienurlaub noch eine handliche elektrische Fliegenklatsche gesucht. In groß habe ich so etwas schon zu Hause und bin davon sehr überzeugt. Für den Flug musste es jedoch eine kompakte Version mit Batteriebetrieb sein, da Li-Ionen-Akkus nicht ins normale Aufgabegepäck dürfen. Dieses Jahr gab es in Spanien eine nervige Mückenplage. Dank dieses kleinen Schlägers konnte ich sicherlich mehrere Dutzend Mücken innerhalb weniger Tage erledigen. Funktioniert einwandfrei! Jede getroffene Mücke ist ein kleiner Knall.
