Amazon.com Review
Keep the bugs away from your next barbecue without resorting to unsafe insect sprays. Designed on the premise of a flyswatter, this handheld bug zapper is shaped like a tennis racket and kills insects on contact via an electric current when they touch the surface of the "net." The zapper operates on two AA batteries and, for safety, activates when you simultaneously press the two buttons on its handle. The bug zapper is safe for either indoor or outdoor use; however, people should exercise caution when the zapper is activated as it will cause a shock. --Cristina Vaamonde

amazing and fun ! August 31, 2010
Dale M. Schultz (MA, USA)
this product works well, even though cheaply built.
The insects explode with a pleasant 'bang' and it is so satisfying that one soon goes looking for more to kill..
The battery cover is cheap and may get loose. I placed some duct tape over that to hold it in place.
In terms of design I would prefer just a single switch (no doubt lawyers made them use two - you know, for safety) but one does get used to holding both to switch it on. One can also easily open the unit up and solder one switch closed.
After being given one and find one at a yard sale I bought 6 more!
 Great fun and it works too! August 30, 2010

We found the bug zapper first in Canada, but had trouble finding them in local stores. So we were thrilled to find these available through Amazon. My husband delights to wage war against the black flies coming over from the stables next door. You know you scored when you see the spark! Don't buy just one. These make wonderful (dare I say unique?) hostess gifts for anyone who might be pestered with flying pests.
Frustrated No Longer!! August 29, 2010

I just bought this AMAZING handheld bug zapper, and I couldn't be more pleased! I had a stream of yellowjackets entering one point in my soffit, and nothing seemed to work until in desperation I bought this racket. Within minutes of opening it, I was out there getting them with extreme satisfaction. They would hit it and ZAP! Dead. Even my husband enjoyed getting these pests after returning home from work....it's more fun than it probably should be, and I highly recommend it!
 Only kills ONE bug! August 28, 2010

Worked great for ONE fly! Then it died. Tried new batteries, etc., everything. Called company for replacement since I was not happy with that level of quality. They promised a replacement. I called again 3 months later since no replacement had arrived. Another 3 month wait. Called company again. They had never heard of me or any replacement order. Not ordering THEIR products again!
Zaps bugs dead! August 27, 2010

This is the best pest control purchase we have made. Holding the two buttons activates the electricity, and once you touch a insect with the exposed wires, there's a loud POP and everything we have zapped immediately falls to the ground.
There's only two things I want to point out...
#1 - The ZAP isn't strong enough to kill everything. Some bigger bugs will need to be stepped on as they're stunned.
#2 - Don't use this as a flyswatter. If you bring this zapper down hard and make full contact on a table or wall, the neck plastic will crack. You want to just touch the bugs with the wires, not smack them flat.
Just waving this around outdoors brought down more flies and mosquitoes than anything else we have tried. Highly recommended.
