Got some of the ol cheapie ones you could pick up at Poundland and whilst they are effective..... somewhat I want something with a lot more juice, I had thought about doing a mod to one and I was going to pick a few up at poundland but they don't seem to do them anymore.

Anybody got any recommendations for a good powerful imma blow yo *** up fly swatters, was having a scout around and spotted this one which doesn't use AA batteries which seems like a good sign for being powerful


Or can anybody recommend something else?
 
I think they're pretty much all the same to be honest, whether they stun the thing or make it explode. I hate the stuff but fly spray is far more effective in my experience. Maybe fit a bug screen to your door or something?
 
We use the executioner pro from Amazon. It doesn’t have the safety grid so if you hit it there’s no chance it’ll not zap it. Uses D or C size batteries so a lot more go than AA.

I also use the Executioner Pro. I find it's power a little disappointing, as it doesn't always kill/stun larger bugs the first time around - so don't be too confident when using it on wasps or bees. :D Reviews also show that other people have experienced the same issue.

Why would you be swatting bees?

I can't remember what it's called, but there's a weird little toy shotgun thing that blasts them out of the air with grains of salt. That looks like fun.

Don't really want salt all over the floor and equipment in my room though, its not an all the time problem but for some reason this year im seeing quite a few of flies.

saw that one, I like the safety grid as the flies can get stuck in it when I catch them on the wall, I move real slow towards it and when im a couple inches away BAM and then move the bat up and down the wall to make sure I really get it and then tap it out the metal bit into a bit of kitchen towel, fold it over then whack it like im hammering a nail to make sure the bugger is dead :D lol

Also nice not to have to go hunting for the thing after I whack it lol


Edit
This is what I was thinking about trying with one of the cheapie bats.

I have this one :

Zero In Bug Bat Battery Powered Kills Flying Insects on Contact, Suitable for Indoor and Outdoor Use​


and they sometimes survive the hit even though there is a load bang

the trouble with them is they are useless when the fly is in tight spots or very close to windows etc, but they are excellent when the fly is in open space where you can take a good swing

so a combo of these and the cheap floppy plastic hand shaped ones in pound shops work well together in different situations

I have a yellow plastic flexible swatter. The fly's brain exits it's bum before it knows it has deceased. Electricity is so overrated
 
I recommend this

also effective against xenoporphys, you could also 'nuke the entire site from orbit' but maybe that's overkill!
