ZAP IT! Bug Zapper Rechargeable Bug Zapper Racket W/ Blue Light Attractant, 4,000 Volt, USB Charging Cable

Recommend this yellow one! Don’t recommend the blue one!We purchased this one and the blue one before. This is the second time we bought this one because: a, this yellow zap it last longer, our previous one last for more than one year but the blue one only worked for about half a year. b, it works better, the blue one only works on fly for some reason and takes several shocks while this one works on other bugs and flies and one to two shocks are enough.

Great product!!! Totally recommend it 👌🏻

For one, it works, no real issues there. It's exactly what it says it is, an electric bug zapper shaped like a tennis racket.But a couple of things to keep in mind.This thing is LIGHT and PLASTIC, meaning it's fragile.Don't go smacking any hard surfaces at full strength with this thing. It's for waving around in the air, not a fly swatter for hitting a desk or wall.Second thing, don't hold the activation button down or leave the switch for "always on", it drains the battery super fast! So does the light function.If you want it to last a long time between charges, set the switch to only come on when you push the button.Next thing, the size of the bug you are hitting with this thing matters.Smaller bugs like mosquitos, small moths, small flies, etc, no problem. They are dead right away.But the bigger bugs? Like a horse fly for example? You can hit them and hear the electric pop, but they can either still fly away or are only stunned for a few seconds and trying to take off from the ground.And the bigger ones can get stuck in the metal grid too, so if you hold down the button when one does get stuck, you end up frying it and making a really bad smell. (co-worker found this out when they hit a big fly and held the button down rather than letting it go as soon as they heard the pop. A bit of smoke and a bad smell >.<)So if you are going after bigger bugs with this thing, you have to hit them multiple times, or keep them in contact with the grid long enough.But, at least it's a safe manual zapper, because it has 2 sections of grids. One in the center of the hoop that actually does the shocking, and another layer on each side a little separated from that so that you can't accidentally zap yourself or another person.So, yeah, other than being careful about the battery charge and the size of the bugs being zapped, decent product for the price.

Love this thing! We have one in the house and had to buy a second one to keep in the poolhouse.

Worked great at first, then it suddenly started buzzing when I would use it. I had fun zapping bugs but then it just stopped working. I tried charging it, I went through all the troubleshooting recommended and nothing. The last fly just walked right into the metal grates and looked around and hung out in there while I was pressing the zap button and nothing. The fly might as well have made it's home inside the zapper he was so comfy. I wouldn't waste my money on this again for sure. I ended up just going back to good ol' Raid and now all they flies are on their backs with their feet in the air just like the Raid picture advertises.

It was ok, for an unfortunate fruit fly infestation. I was able to eventually get them all after a couple of week, only using this zapper. This product is probably better for larger flying insects. The auto zapper didnt always zap when a fly came in contact with the metal zapper. I ended up swinging the racket around more times than I would have liked to. The UV light on the handle did nothing to attract the flies. Despite these flaws I kept the product because spring and summer are right around the corner and flies and mosquitos will eventually be in season soon enough.

My last insect zapping racket, made by a different manufacturer, finally quit after some years on the job, so I decided to rely on the "Amazon's Choice" label and try this one.I also liked the unusual "blue light attractant" on this model, a new and unique feature.Well, the racket definitely kills insects, but I find the medium size racket head of the one I ordered to be a little smaller than that of the zapper racket I had before.So -- if you're looking to kill insects in the air, as opposed to assaulting them on surfaces -- you might want to opt for the large racquet ZAP IT! offers, which I imagine would increase your chances of bringing down the buggers with the least effort.In my case, my primary prey are the little moths that love to attack my wool clothes, a handsome herringbone winter overcoat key among them.Even though I have hung one of those expensive German pheromone moth traps on the coat tree next to the coat, I still often find one or more of the little buggers picnicking on the herringbone.That's when I deploy this racquet to maximum effect, holding it flat to the coat and zapping the intruders with a mighty KAPOW!So as I write this, I haven't found any success attracting flying moths to the racquet using the selectable blue light. In fact, given how flat the light lies relative to the plane of the racquet's surface, I have to wonder how effective the feature really is, though the idea certainly seems a good one.Have any other bug tennis enthusiasts found that the blue light increases the number of service aces?Nevertheless, this racquet certainly does the job on surface-munchers, and I appreciate the USB-rechargeable battery. Thumbs up -- and bugs down!
