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

Fun toy, but it's very fragile. If you accidentally hit something while swatting a fly, the casing can shift, causing the internal wires to move out of place and the apparatus to stop working. I managed to fix it a few times by putting the wires back where they belonged, but it kept happening. Eventually, i had a genius moment, and reinforced the frame with a few zip ties to keep it from opening up. Since then, the wires have stayed in place, and it keeps working even if I accidentally bump it into something while hunting flies.

I love how this thing has a real kick. I took 4 flies down in 2 sessions. Then came the ultimate opportunity to take down the beast in my living room. This was a monster. I was extremely excited to take this bad boy down. It proved elusive at first. Then after a few attempts it just rested on the strings. I thought there must be something wrong. This guy is laughing at me. When I looked down, to my horror I noticed no light, it had run out of batteries. This thing while extremely capable let me down at a crucial time. Has to lose a star. 3 small flies and two massive cheap batteries. Embarrassing. I’ve now decided to change to Duracell. Can’t wait to pick this journey up once more. Edit; it wasn’t the batteries, it was the bread knife who dropped the fly zapper, batteries displaced and she put them back the wrong way without telling me. Back to 5 stars.

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.

Great product - most smaller flies are killed after one hit, and most bigger flies are stunned in one hit then killed on the second hit. However, my swatter only came with 1x C-battery inside the battery compartment. And battery compartment cover appeared to be missing the 2x plastic catches, so the cover cannot lock into place properly. It was shipped with a rubber band which can keep it in place, but not sure if the plastic catches were snapped off, or if it’s a manufacturing defect.

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.

It is great, very powerful and seems life a good battery life so far

Fantastic thing . I bought another one so as to have one for the house and the other for the caravan.

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".
