This swatter is redoubtable! Nothing beats the joy of killing a mosquito that's been stopping you from sleeping for hours.
Pros:
- Kills small insects instantly, stuns the bigger ones (but you can either zap them several times or kill them another way)
- Large surface (between the sizes of badminton and tennis rackets) warrants you a much higher success rate than classic flyswats or by hand
- Rechargable, no battery needed
- USB port, no additional cables or chargers needed
- Built-in light seems to attract some flying bugs (not mosquitoes though), making it easier to kill them
- Thin mesh, even the smallest flies get killed
- Fairly cheap and non-polluting compared to bug spray - no need to leave the room or ventilate
- Kills bugs indiscriminately, including those not attracted to UV electric swatters (e.g. mosquitoes)
- Best for isolated bugs, so you're not wasting spray on a whole room for one or two bugs
Cons:
- The downside of its size is that it's clumsy to handle in small rooms (like my kitchen) and there's a risk of hitting things
- You need to be able to see the bug, so it's not ideal in cluttered or decorated spaces (easy to lose sight of the bug)
- You might get burnt bug smell for a few seconds (similar to UV zappers), but only for large bugs sapped repeatedly, and the smell doesn't last
- Mine stopped working after a few months, so I need to take away one star - but I'll be buying another one
TL;DR: unless there's a whole swarm in your room, this is the fastest way to get rid of flying pests. Even if it breaks down after a couple of months like mine, at 75dhs it's still money well spent!
