mafitiElectric Fly Swatter, Fly Killer Bug Zapper Racket for Indoor and Outdoor Pest Control, 2AA Batteries not Included

Amazing zapper unfortunately my daughter decided to sit on it .... broke ..... shame the button wasn't pressed in 😂

It works. However, one has to know that the cunning flight path of the average fly is not easy to predict. Therefore this has quickly became a competitive item in our household as to who's technique works best.As insight, one attack mode was to wait until they are on a wall and basically batter the bat against the wall. This has a high success rate but does eventually mean the frame of the bat takes some damage. In our case - we bought another. Such that now the Samurai technique used is to hold one bat in place higher in anticipated flight trajectory while (slowly) swinging the other bat towards the flys. Double bubble Fly Sandwich! The zapping of success is most satisfying.

Compared to my last one, which only fizzed when killing a fly, this thing gives a massive cracking and kills most things instantly. Fruit flies are my favourite!!! Recommended.

I have purchased a lot of different makes of these over the years. My last one broke recently as I accidentally hit it against a wall while using it. So, I had a look around at the many on Amazon and for some reason, I liked the look of this one. Nice solid yellow and black casing with a wide trap area which is just what the doctor ordered. The first thing I noticed after taking it out of the box is that It is a very solid item. I opened the battery door and the door was also of high-quality solid plastic. Usually these doors don’t fit properly, but this one is like it is of a quality manufacturers television remote control. The batteries also fit nicely and don’t spring around like other makes I have used. The power trigger is also flat and large to find easily and is also a solid button. I started using it in the garden as we have a lot of flies around the back door. I pressed the button and waved it around and when the flies hit the trap area, they went off with a loud bang. All flies are now gone if I use it each morning outside the back door. I used it on my landing to get rid of many moths we have eating our clothes. Again, every moth that hit it went off with a loud bang. It made me jump at first as it is quite loud. But the bang is very satisfying when they could be eating my clothes. I will be getting a second one of this same unit to keep upstairs as I must carry this one everywhere now. Also, a good item to keep near the TV as moths come in and keep flying around in front of the TV. This machine puts a stop to that. So, it also relieves stress knowing you have something that is very easy to use to get rid of these things while you are trying to watch TV. Overall, a top-quality unit that really does the job well.

I had lots of flies in my kitchen during the summer months and I'd seen these a few times so decided to buy one based on the reviews, so glad I did! It works really well unless you get a mega fast fly in which case you then turn into a tennis pro jumping around your kitchen with the racket trying to waft it over the fly! But overall its been good as I can just swat this over the fly and dispose of it and its not flying round trying to land on my food when I'm cooking etc just don't hold the button down too long if you have a fly on the racket, toasted fly isn't the nicest of smells!

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.  Haven't owned one of these in years, but the recent heat in the UK has resulted in so many flies that just love to gather in my living room.I ordered this based on the decent reviews - and have been very impressed with the results.I'd say that trying to get fast moving bugs isn't the easiest (should have worked on my forehand more in tennis)... But most flies and mosquitoes are easy to get.

Happy, so far, want to try on other insects

No idea what amazon wants me to comment on regarding ‘thickness’ - it’s a fly swatter.Bought it because we were being plagued over the warmer months with flies in the kitchen - this is fab, swat the buggers and little ones die immediately and bigger ones you might have to shock repeatedly. You press the button to make it work so it’s not constantly using up batteries.I take the batteries out when not in use so the kids don’t swat each other....
