The Executioner Pro Fly Killer Mosquito Swatter Racket Wasp Bug Zapper Indoor Outdoor Over 55cm Long

Buying my second one after having my first for about 2 years. It never activated or sparked when there wasn’t something completing the circuit. The only reason mine broke was because my guitar pedal fell on it from a top shelf onto the zapper and the metal bars flew everywhere. I tried to put them back but each one has its own place and I messed it up. So here I am buying number two. Best value for the money. U get wat u pay for unless ur getting ripped off!! So make sure ur not getting ripped off!

I bought this device because a co-worker of mine recommended it. He had the regular version and I had to one up him. The item came right on time as always, when I buy through Prime. I was hesitant on this because i was not sure how strong the wires would be. The picture does not do it justice. The wires are more like aluminum bars about the thickness of a 8 gauge nail and are pretty strong. I have applied pressure with my hands to verify its well made and wont break. The racket end is about the size of a badminton set and the handle is the size of a tennis racket. It houses 2 C batteries. The test is how well it shocks. My first attempt sold me on it. I found a large carpenter ant and threw it onto the bars. The second it touched, electricity sparked (made a loud pop) and the ant exploded and landed about 4 feet away. It was enough that my kids didn't want to be anywhere near it or attempt to use it. I next used it on a small moth flying in my house. This did not spark, I'm assuming do to the size and little to no body mass, but i didn't release the button right away and the moth turned red and smoldered.You could see the burn going through it. I have been waiting for a large gathering of bugs outside my house in a swarm to take a swing or two at. The issue is getting use to swinging it at bugs. Fly's are pretty fast and can be hard to hit. In the end this thing is in no way a toy and does its job well. Update I have a gazebo I am building and am currently putting in the screening. Flies are coming in like crazy. I decided to get this out because, my sugar gliders, eat flies and I figured I can score them an easy meal. I have been using it and for small insects, its pretty lethal. Some flies that land on it die, and if you let off some juice, you can see their wings move from the nerves. Pretty morbid, I know. Anyways, this makes a pretty loud crack when the bugs touch it, but I'm finding larger bugs (and some smaller) are not killed by this. I hit a fly 4 times in the air, each time the fly created a spark, but did not go down. Now i don't know if these are local flies, or ones from Krypton, but many larger insects can take the shock. Most smaller ones die. Larger ones it's a toss up between death, wounded to the point they can't fly or laughing it off. I have even had a few horse flies come in. If you have never seen a horse fly, count yourself lucky. They are about the size of Mothra from the old Godzilla movies. The few that I've had, have gone down but not died. I usually just whack them and put them out of their misery before being eaten (by my gliders of course). I originally said this is not a toy, but I am finding it REALLY FUN to use.

This offers the best zap of any I tried. Here are some items: 1) Pro Executioner vs Executioner: - the zapper circuits are identical. I have both, opened both, they really are the same. - Pro works off two C cells so it lasts longer than the two AA powered regular version. - The Pro has a larger zapper head (more area) that the regular. - Pro comes with a not particularly rugged vinyl case. 2) Lethality: - Zaps gnats just fine. Their wings need to be oriented properly to bridge the zap gap, but swing away and it sounds like popcorn. - Blows away mosquitoes with a satisfying crack. - Stuns and occasionally kills flies. Always knocks them out of the air. - Stuns wasps, but you'll need to finish them off ala foot once they fall. - It hurts if you zap yourself. Not a toy for the young ones as the zapper mesh is easy to accidental touch 3) Durability - They can fail never to zap again. Seems like it can happen when the battery gets to low. I have one set to repair and will post what I find - The zapper mesh isn't fragile, but it not particularly strong either. Needs cardboard backing for travel 4) Competition - I've tried a lot of these. The Executioner zapper electronics are the best I've run across. - The "Astor" brand zapper looks the same, but the zap circuit is not the same and not as good. - The "Electrocutioner" has a similar but smaller head, but, again the zaperp circuit is inferior. - The protected mesh $6 to $10 dollar ones do work, but a couple of notes: -- The mesh is not usually any finer (closer) the the executioner as far a gnat zapping goes -- It can be tougher to get some bugs into the triple mesh sandwich design. -- Again the zapper circuits are lower voltage and yield a fizzle, but no a crackle-pop -- While it seems all these zappers are prone to failure, the cheaper one do seem to fail faster, but not always. It's a mystery? -- It is harder to self zap, but a curious child can easy poke his fingers in and find a way. -- The executioner discharges the mesh when you release the switch. The cheap ones don't bother and can stay somewhat "hot" for a minute or so.

Yes, the bigger bugs may not die instantly... But there's satisfaction in this as well. I don't mind a double tap here and there. Why didn't I have one of these before? No mess, just a fried crispy bug. Sorry vegans.

Expensive but best zapper so far that it has battery which u can change it after time

Works great

Vivo al sur de México, el lugar es lluvioso y caluroso, por lo tanto hay demasiados mosquitos de dengue y moscas. Adquirí dos Zappers de esta marca como reemplazo de dos de la marca "ZAP IT!", las cuales me duraron 2 meses y tres semanas de uso diario (una dejó de cargar por USB y la otra dejó de funcionar la malla electrizada). Después de 3 meses de uso diario (sin exagerar, el mundo se puede acabar pero los mosquitos en donde vivo no) puedo decir que estos son más efectivos y duraderos para matar mosquitos y si se golpea de manera correcta, también contras moscas. La abertura entre cada fila de alambre es la adecuada para matar al instante los mosquitos (se quedan pegados a la malla y si el golpe fue muy brusco se achicharran al instante), eso si, el sonido el sonido que aparece cuando matas moscas o mosquitos puede ser fuerte, y el destello también. Con las moscas las aturde si no se les pega bien, pero con dos zapes mueren, depende del tamaño de la mosca. Mantén este objeto lejos de niños y mascotas, al ser curiosos puedes recibir una descarga al tocarlo. Puntos a favor: Duradero (3 meses y contando, tiene garantía de dos años, lo cual parece no va ser necesario por la robustez del Zapper), es corto (mide 43 cm) en comparación con otros Zappers que miden cerca de 50 cm, eficiente (mata mosquitos al instante y si se llega a golpear bien las moscas, también), Cómodo en la mano (tengo mano de tamaño mediano, el zapper es genial al tacto, muy cómodo y práctico), Funciona con pilas AA que NO INCLUYE (me parece más práctico con con carga USB). Puntos negativos: El destello puede lastimar los ojos (evita verlo), el sonido en lugares de eco puede rezumbar. Los puntos negativos valen la pena si tengo que proteger a mi familia de mosquitos (además del dengue, la hinchazón en la piel), avispas, moscas, etc.

Despite putting the best batteries inside, it does not kill any fly on impact. It just zaps them to the ground, but they are very much still alive and will fly again if left. Normal sized flies need two or more zaps to be downed. Expensive for nothing.
