Summary: I bought two and they both broke in the first week
Comment: I was hopeful based on other reviews that it would work. I had an issue with basic house flies that were getting in the house from outside. The racket uses 3 layers of screens, but this caused too much "wind" when trying to swat a fly out of the air. If you happen to hit one, the fly needs to touch two layers of screens at the same time to get zapped.
Since the racket is well... a racket-- you can't swat-to-kill when they are sitting on the counter. You just trap the fly and hope it walks on the racket and touchs the two layers... and then ZAP!
I bought two, since I knew my son would want to try when he saw me swatting... but they both broke. One just quit zapping, and with the other the plastic and layers started coming apart.
I missed the 30 day return window, otherwise I would have tried to get a refund.
Customer Rating: Summary: Caution for Australian Buyers - Illegal Import
Comment: I like to leave the balcony door open on my upper floor flat. The occasional fly likes to come in and aimlessly buzz around my lounge room; this gets a bit annoying when there are three or four circling above my chair.
My idea was to avoid insecticide with one of these Racket Zapper thingies.
It was seized by Australian Customs as a prohibited import. Among the many things not allowed are: "Hand-held electric devices that are designed to administer an electric shock on contact, other than cattle prods designed exclusively for use with animals."
Pretty silly given the device and the obvious intent behind the regulation, but it does fall within the letter of the regulation.
I might try a butterfly net instead. Can't see myself chasing flies with a cattle prod. Or mounting a public crusade to update the regulations to allow electric fly swats.
