Review: The best bug tennis player! - Well, I will say we had plenty of laughs trying to catch flies until I tried to catch a spider with it and snapped it in half. Fear not, I taped the middle and still got the summer out of it killing flies galore. So my daughter is terrified of flies, so this is a must. However, by the end of it she thought it was hilarious me trying to give my best shot and the flies just flying away. I found it easier holding the button once the fly was still and putting the bat on it. The battery life was good, but the cooking of the flies wasn't the nicest, but it saved the scream of my child. If there was a bit of fly left over when trying to catch another fly it lets out a noise which is the fly being electrocuted so the other fly just again flies off. So I would recommend cleaning it by banging it over the bin. The function of the bat is great but not advisable for trying to smack spiders with it and clean off dead flies so they aren't extra cooked 😂 However I did feel much accomplishment when I had cleared the flies that just binned around my kitchen for no reason.
Review: Reliable dispatcher! - I bought this when my old ‘zapper’ died on me, I had had it for years and I think it had been dropped at some stage. In the summer, we spent a lot of time in the garden, even into mid evenings when it was still light, but wasps were always the biggest problem,; whenever we got the food out. They were forever trying to get at the cheeseboard; not jams and sweet things. The first time I used this Bug Bat, I was surprised at how immediately and effectively it ‘zapped’ the offending insect! There is no mistaking you have dispatched it, by the sparking noise. I have now dispatched many of them who were becoming a menace and fortunately, since then, none of us have been stung and we were able to eat in peace.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it kill fruit flies?**
A: It will if you are quick enough to catch them with it. This particular model is good for smaller flies because the mesh is finer. We have found that with some other makes,the mesh is wider and not so effective because the flies can crawl through the holes.

**Q: Does this flies up and make a noise letting you know you’ve killed the fly**
A: it electrocutes the fly so there will be a small noise

**Q: How do I know when the bat is on? I’ve pressed the on button and red light comes on but when I release the button red light goes off.**
A: The charge goes through the wire mesh while the red buttons is pressed, releasing it turns the bat off. Type of dead man’s (or fly’s) switch. If your batteries are fully  charged a fly or bug touching the mesh of while the button is depressed will produce an electric spark and you’ll know it’s on and working.

**Q: What is the output voltage of this one please?**
A: It’s static voltage not AC current. I’m not sure exactly the amount, but it’s enough to shock and fry larger flies easily.
