Fly Swatters | Assorted Color 2 Pack | Picks UP The Bug w/ 904 Spikes | Patented & Made in The USA | Insects, Bugs and Fly Killer

I'm back for more -- my third order of this fantastic fly swatter. Five stars! If only it could catch mosquitoes, I'd give it 10 stars. We keep one on every windowsill in the house. I used to put them in storage during the cool months but thanks to climate change, we now get bothersome flying insects 12 months a year.There's something special about this fly swatter, beyond the spikes -- which are highly functional and brilliant, by the way. Somehow insects can't get away from this one, so we have far fewer missed swings than with any other fly swatter ever. Is it faster? Quieter? Heavier? I don't know the reason, but I do know it hits 'em dead pretty much every time. Well worth the investment and how nice that it's made in the USA.

This fly swatter works! Nicely made, sturdy, just the right length, weighted to pack a punch but not too heavy, and has a comfortable grip. As other reviews indicated, the spiked side may not completely kill smaller insects like flies, but the flat side works perfectly for them. For larger bugs, the spiked side is fine. Happy to finally find something that actually works 😀

For 10 years, I have high quality teak furniture on my deck and wasps from all over the neighborhood come to shave off the wood to make nest all under my deck (my deck is high up) and all around my house. Its gotten out of control. We do not use pesticides so we just suffered through it. This year we'd had enough, we cant even sit on the furniture without them running us off. I decided to suit up and start killing them with this heavy duty fly swatter. I have killed about 80 wasp and the swatter still works like new. When I started killing them, yes, I have great guilt for killing them, I used a couple of quality swatter made for flies. The swatter quickly cracked in several places and wasnt durable (thick) enough to kill them on contact so I had to swat them again and again to relieve their misery. With this swatter, it kills them dead instantly; one second they are alive and the next second they are dead (most humane if I'm going to be a killer). Also, the wasp sticks to the swatter (all in one piece) so I can throw him overboard instead of having to scoop up mangled wasp pieces. I would give this swatter 5/5 if the handle was longer. It is shorter than a regular fly swatter.

Best for fast crawling insects with exoskeletons like palmetto bugs, roaches, beetles. More effective than any other swatter for these. Kills instantly, then flick the dead bug outside or into the trashcan. Have not tried on flying insects. Have used just one multiple times with no breakage. Rinse off easily. Last pair ordered are a more flexible plastic, but same results are expected.

I've had this for a few month now and have had the unfortunate opportunity to use it on several occasions. I don't like bugs, especially crawly ones. Nothing is worse than encountering said crawly with nothing more than a house slipper to defend oneself. Armed with this bug swatter I feel confident of coming away victorious from any encounter. It has the appropriate level of stiffness to get off a good, solid bug-obliterating whack. Bonus if you use the spikey side, as the deceased crawly sticks to it, and so no having to use half a roll of toilet paper to pick up the remains. A mere flick of this device against the rim of the toilet or trash can, and it's bye-bye buggie. I HIGHLY recommend this item. Arm yourself today and save yourself from having to throw away your favorite house slippers.

These fly swatters arrived in the colors of Christmas, green and red. While that did not set the tone I was hoping for, as I seldom see flies around Christmas time, I decided to give them a chance anyway. They are a heavier, seemingly more durable product than my previous fly swatter, which began to break into pieces during use towards the end of its “useful” life. Hence, the purchase of these fly swatters was made, after minimal research (“Amazon’s Choice” banner of honor recipient). The name also intrigued me. I have a smart phone, certainly I could use a smart swatter. Please excuse my poor attempt at humor, I don’t know what got into me. I assure you none of the rest of this will be funny.These “Smart Swatters” have the added benefit of trapping your enemy within their tactically resourceful spikes. More on this later (see “Spike Retention” below). While the grip is nothing extraordinary in and of itself, these have an opportune feel to them in your hand during attack mode (your swing). I’d equate this to a baseball player finding the right length and weight of a bat. It may not be right for everyone, but it seems to put me in the best position to succeed.I've noticed a seemingly sharp increase in both my hit rate and my kill rate since their acquisition. Now, one could argue that perhaps my flyswatting form is just better. Or perhaps my selection of fly position upon engagement is more optimal for a successful swat. Maybe, maybe not. I don’t have all the necessary historical data from my previous swatter to confidently back this up one way or another. What I can confirm is my swing feels more natural, powerful, accurate, and my results for these fly swatters so far are quite good:Swings – 21.5Hits – 18Kills – 17Spike Retention – 13A few comments regarding the above data. My Swings data only includes swings made while engaging with enemy flies. It does NOT include practice swings, of which there were several upon taking out of the box, and several more in the form of warm ups prior to use in production. The .5 swing was a swing I stopped half way through when it came too close to an antique candelabra.Hits include any contact made with an enemy fly regardless of outcome. My hit rate thusfar is a remarkable 83.7%. Again, I do not have prior data, but I’m confident this is well above my hit rate with my previous flyswatter, which at times could feel like trying to hit a fly with a toothpick. That may seem like an attempt at humor, but I assure you trying to kill a fly with a toothpick is no laughing matter, it’s quite frustrating.Kills include flies whose existence ended as a result of a hit with my new flyswatter. My kill rate comes in at an impressive 94.4% (17/18). While I again do not have this data for my previous flyswatter, I know of many times where contact was made and the fly was able to continue its obnoxious existence.Spike retention refers to the number of times a fly remained within the 904 spikes (I have yet to validate this count is accurate) that protrude from the fly swatter for ease of disposal. This is a prominent feature that is marketed reasonably well by the producer, and at a 72.2% success rate thusfar, it has exceeded my cynical expections (25% success rate). This pleases me.Overall, I gave these fly swatters 5 stars based on my early results. Admittedly, my figures represent a very small sample size and any claim I’d make regarding durability this early on would be a fallacy. Therefore, if I notice any substantial change in my statistics above or encounter any durability concerns, I vow to return to update my review.I hope you’ve found this review moderately helpful and I thank you for your time. Give this flyswatter a try and take your house back from winged assailants.
