The Executioner Pro Fly Zapper Mosquito, Wasp, Bug, Insect Killer Swatter Electric Fly Zapper Racket Single Layer for Efficient Zapping Indoor Outdoor

Best fly and bug killer on the market. Will even take down a bluebottle first time. Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.

Great device for mosquitoes, moths and flies. Haven’t encountered any wasps nor hornets in the house as yet, but I think it will still do the necessary… it’s a dirty business, but necessary sometimes. One cautionary note: the battery housing cover is really not easy to operate. Maybe I just didn’t have the knack though.

Second one of these I've bought. Really effective and can handle really quite big insects.

Works really well, thankyou

Does a great job, takes flies out in one thwack!

I bought this in the Summer of this year because we seemed to be getting plagued by flies and I don't like the smell or impact of fly spray. Since buying it I've used it several times, mainly on fruit-flies, which we get quite a lot of because we have a compost caddy in the kitchen. When I very first used it I really wasn't prepared for the volume of the pop I got, even with such a small fly. Each insect it hits is hit by a static shock that makes it literally explode with a bang like a firework - but trust me when I say, there's no mess! I have to admit to becoming a bit sadistic where flies are concerned since buying this. It comes with batteries, so you don't have to worry about rummaging in drawers or running to the shops to buy some (just have them in as back-up for when you do need them) and you are WARNED to NOT touch the "strings" while the switch is depressed or you WILL get the same static shock that the bugs you use it on will get! I've been very careful in this respect, because I don't like shocks, be they static or any other kind. Store it carefully, so the strings won't get broken and if you're not using it for a good while, take out the batteries to limit them corroding in the device. As environmentally-friendly small flying pest destroyers go, you can't go far wrong with this and the only problem you'll have potentially are some hungry spiders because you've fried their dinner before they could catch it!

Just the best exterminator of irritating flies and bugs! Robust and lasts for years, deff the best zapper I've ever bought, well worth the money. Watch the little blighters snap, crackle and pop!!! Recommend

I bought this as I've had a swarm of midge-like things bothering me in my garden a few times and I wanted some payback. And for little midges and clothes moths, this racket works pretty well. However when attempting to dispatch a housefly, the limitations of this zapper were laid bare. Firstly, the impressive build-quality and heft of the zapper works against it: It's a bit like trying to play badminton with a tennis racquet, the zapper is a bit too heavy and unwieldy to track a fast-moving housefly. Holding down the button to keep the racquet live isn't much of a bother, but I did loosen the battery cover with the occasional swing at the fly. The "Pro" version uses C-type batteries, whereas the standard version uses AA batteries. Secondly, it just doesn't have the punch needed to dispatch a good-sized housefly. I caught up with the fly and the zapper gave out an impressive crack of spark as the fly made contact with it, but after being zapped, the fly just flew off. With a combination of disappointment in the zapper and newfound respect for the fly, I pursued the fly around the house until I cornered it against a window and caused the pest to fly into the zapper's wires. Another crack of spark and noise, but the fly just dropped a few inches under the zapper and flew away. In fairness it was clearly stunned and landed on the ground. As it landed by the back door, I opened the door and it flew outside, probably wondering what on earth had just happened. As I get the occasional wasp in the house, I now know that the zapper is unlikely to kill a wasp on first contact my zap alone, and after zapping, I am likely to be faced with a wasp that is not only alive and well, but pretty ticked off and looking for revenge. It would be a bit like facing a pitbull with a taser. Yeah it might work, but if it doesn't, I've just made things worse. In conclusion, for clouds of midges, this is absolutely a great zapper. For larger insects, it's not a guaranteed kill, and when tackling wasps, that's a definite problem for me. Additionally, if you're not particularly strong, I think this zapper is going to be too heavy to be effective and useful. That said, it IS pretty cool-looking. If you must have one, I suggest you buy the smaller version, as it'll be lighter and more useable than the "Pro".
