During my recent Memorial Day weekend in northern Michigan, I experienced an overwhelming number of midges. They swarmed in thick clouds, making it difficult to be outside. However, our host came to the rescue with a solution he had discovered on Amazon – a pair of novel-looking fly swatters.
Resembling compact tennis rackets, these bug zappers, which are powered by USB, swiftly dealt with all the flying insects in our backyard. Not only were they effective, but they also provided entertainment as we waved them around, eliminating bugs. The electrified stainless steel and aluminum mesh, accompanied by a built-in purple light to attract mosquitoes and other insects, made for a satisfying zapping experience. Furthermore, the mesh design prevents bug bodies from getting caught, eliminating the need for messy cleanup.
Now is the perfect time to make a purchase, as Amazon is currently offering an 11% discount plus a 10% off coupon on a set of two bug zappers, allowing you to save a few dollars when compared to buying a single swatter.
If you prefer not to use the swatter manually, or if you want your children to have some fun while keeping safe (thanks to the mesh shock protection), you can place it in its weighted stand and let it work on its own indoors or outdoors. It’s perfect for picnics, next to your porch chair, or even beside your bed to ward off mosquitoes at night.
According to one Amazon reviewer, “This swatter kills them all, gnats, fruit flies, mosquitoes, and flies (someone said it doesn’t kill flies and it very much DOES kill flies). I have had this swatter for less than a week, and as far as I’m concerned, it’s paid for itself. Up there with one of THE best purchases I’ve made recently. Worth it!”
Many other reviewers share the same sentiment. With over 4,000 buyers weighing in, these swatters have a 4.4-star rating on Amazon. While the brand doesn’t specify the battery life, my friends and I found that they retained a nearly-full charge after several hours of use. I highly recommend these bug zappers to enhance your bug-free and enjoyable summer outdoors.
