Electric Fly Swatter – 1500 Volts

I hate flies. They are annoying enough to make me buy not one, but two electric fly swatters. I got one upstairs and I got one in the living room / kitchen area. And as a result there are no more flies in my house. No bugs, no flies, no mosquitoes, no nothing that crawls or flies. If you are looking for a bug zapper, the electric fly swatter is the one tool you want. What exactly is this fly swatter at all?

The e-fly swatter as my wife calls it is a tennis racket like tool that uses 2 D-size Batteries to charge a small net with 1500 volts. The tennis racket design makes this tool very handy and easy to use. You just wave it towards the fly or mosquito and the 1500 volt charge zaps them and kills them accordingly. There is no mess afterwards. You do not need to wipe anything clean, you do not need a newspaper lying around, and you will not get a tennis arm syndrome either.

I did try sprays before, but they might be more poisonous to humans than to bugs or insects. I always kept 2 or 3 old copies of the Time Magazine around to hit the flies with it. Why Time Magazine? It has a) the perfect size and b) the perfect weight. If a magazine or newspaper is too heavy you will be too slow to hit a fly. If it is too large it creates too much wind and the fly is eventually sucked out of the “hitting area” before the magazine hits the surface. The Time Magazine is actually perfect to even hit a fly in the air and knock it out dead.

But then the electric fly swatter came around. A friend recommended it to me. We were watching baseball at his place when I was able to see this cool electric fly catcher tool in action. I was amazed how easy it was to kill a fly. He just waived his arm with the fly zapper towards the fly, the volt charge hit, and the fly was done. The same night I ordered two electric fly zappers of the same brand and that is how my house finally ended up to be clean of flies. I just make sure that a) the batteries are charged (I use rechargeable batteries) and b) that I always have one of the two fly zappers in close proximity.

My wife loves the fly catcher devices, too. We both have become big fans of it. Sometimes we even play pretend tennis with the devices (no flies or tennis balls involved though). One of the best investments we have made for summer.

Buy 2

I have the smaller version of this device (2AA batt.). Works great. Buy 2 or you will have to be fighting with your spouse to use the one you buy.

Solid product
By cbs42
The zapper works wonderfully in general. It’s not the greatest thing to use on gnats though, as another reviewer noted. The wire mesh is too coarse to guarantee a bridge across the contacts for such a small bug. For anything bigger (mosquitos, flies, bees, etc…) it works like a charm. You do not need to be a tennis pro to be able to hit the bugs consistently. It only takes a basic level of physical coordination.

Works well
By azezal
Pros: *You get to hear a loud satisfying “pop” with each kill.
*Don’t have to switch out batteries as aften because of longer lasting Ds are used.
*Extra size of it allows for larger capaciters to give it higher voltage.

Cons: *Hitting flies in mid air is a bit hard due to the weight of the thing,
*and its not much use to ground insects because you can’t swat it against the ground without breaking it.
*Red warning light only stays on when button is depressed, even though it should stay on because juice will still remain in the capaciters for a while which can cause nasty suprises.
