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

Can’t stand to have flies or mosquitoes in the house. They can drive you crazy flying around and trying to kill them is a challenge. Very frustrating when you’re trying to sleep or cook dinner in peace . Not to mention the diseases these pests carry. So glad we got the Executioner. No more annoyance from a little flying vector and frustration trying to kill it. My friend recommended it and she was right. Long handle very useful Emits a Strong zap and the pesky bug is fried. Very easy to use and a stress saver from the buzzing and potential diseases.

Works great. Not made in the USA (it's a British company). It's very light and easy to use. The safety switch is great for those with kids at home. It kills most flies on first contact; some will need two hits. It makes a very low noise that you can't hear from a few feet away. The battery life depends on the batteries you choose, but in my case, it's been using the same pack for a few months now.

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.

I left some screenless windows open for a few hours while I was away to let in some fresh air. To my horror I also let in about 200 flies. I put up a bunch of fly paper and caught about 50 that way. The rest were dispatched with the Executioner Pro over a period of about 3 days. Thank god I had this thing. As everyone who's tried it knows, it's is very satisfying to kill flies this way. I prefer this to the shielded designs. What I don't like is that the button forces me to hold it too far back and it's too heavy. I have to use it two handed to accelerate fast enough to hit flies mid-air, which limits my reach. Most of my kills are by catching the fly against a surface and striking the surface. If I approach slowly and straight on, flies don't know what to do or where to go. I accelerate the last six to eight inches striking whatever surface they where perched on. This works against walls, ceilings, tables, fabrics. If you can finesse it, you can do this with low enough force to not damage anything and so far the Executioner Pro is holding up to the stress (over 150 confirmed kills). This begs the question though, why not just use a fly swatter? I prefer this because I'm able to strike with less force from a closer distance and have a much better kill rate with this thing. And the electrocution is specifically satisfying. An improved version of this device would have a much shorter handle and be much lighter weight so it can be accelerated and maneuvered faster. You think the reach of the long handle and the large racket head are going to help you, but it all adds mass and from where you have to grip it to reach the button, you have a mechanical disadvantage. You can get fast enough if you have room to accelerate, but it takes space. This thing is basically like a heavy tennis racket. Think about it. Do you actually have room to swing a tennis racket hard in your house? Maybe my house is too cluttered, but I find it very difficult to use it effectively as it was intended, for mid-air strikes. And I have pretty decent reflexes. For perspective, I can snatch larger house flies out of the air with my bare hands.

After looking at various options for an electric bug zapper, I decided on the Executioner Pro. The many positive ratings, higher price ($29.99), and higher voltage all seemed to point to a great product. I ordered one in January and LOVED IT when it arrived! It zaps bugs with a large blue spark and loud pop, which is most satisfying. However, after a few months it stopped zapping. It still had some electricity and sometimes could "cook" the insects, but no zap, no flash, no pop. I took it apart to see if there was something that could easily be fixed, but everything appeared in order. I broke the handle while dismantling it, so I could not return it and ordered another one for another $30 in August. The new Executioner Pro arrived and performed great! I was back in action! The flies and mosquitoes were popping and dropping! Then, after 31 days, the same problem happened - the wires have a little bit of electricity, but no more zapping. I tried to return it via Amazon, but was literally one day past there return policy. The I checked the website of the seller (http://www.theexecutioner.co.uk/) and called the telephone number listed there, only to find it was DISCONNECTED! So, $60 gone, no one left to honor the warranty promised on the package, and more garbage goes into the landfill. I will not be ordering a third one. Note that the positive reviews are from people who first use the zapper. If they came back after a few months, I'll bet most of those 5 star ratings will fall to 1 star!! You have been warned. btw - I love the idea of a working bug zapper. If anyone knows of one that has worked at least, say one year, please let me know!

Going on 5 years and it is still the single best product I have ever used on bugs. If you have a deep burning hatred for house flies, this is the ultimate solution. You can smack them lightly once in the air and it stuns them and they drop to the ground spinning in a circle. You can then place the zapper over them and hold down the button until you see smoke and smell burning hair. A fitting end to the flying little disease spreaders.

I bought several of the very first racket style bug zapper when they came on the market and they were good, but didn't last long. Then they begin coming out with some sort of shields over the wires, I guess to prevent idiots from sticking their faces in it. Problem is, they also prevent mosquitos from getting fried, they just bounce off those shields and have dinner on you.. This year I ordered one of these Executioner Pros and man, my yard doesn't have enough mosquitoes! It's too cool when this monster zaps one, it's a serious ZAP, louder and more flash than those cheaper ones. I carry it all over the year searching for mosquitos but I think they all hide when they see me with this bad-boy Executioner in my hand! Does Amazon sell mosquitos? Probably.

We had a fly infestation this last month. This thing really kicks their butt! Taking it camping this weekend just in case of flies!

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.
