Fly Swatters | Assorted Color 2 Pack | Picks UP The Bug w/ 904 Spikes | Patented & Made in The USA | Insects, Bugs and Fly Killer

Didn't think I'd be so blown away by a fly swatter - of all things - that I'd want to provide a review. It's one of those items you didn't know you needed until you use it. Worlds apart from other products in this space. Very glad I found Smart Swatter, and maybe best of all, it's made right here in the USA. I'll spread the word this summer!

Works great! Swat the fly with a smooth side pick it up on the floor with the other side never have to touch it just and just flip it into the garbage can..😁

The first few times I used it i thought it was great because the fly stays right in the 'spiked' side. then when i'd go to my trash, i'd just tap the handle and it would fling off into the trash. after a few flies, I opened my trash to hit the next one inside and saw 2 flys That I had just put into a plastic bag crawling inside the plastic bag meaning it didn't kill the fly, I think it just punctures the wings maybe? Unless these flies I had were just a different breed, but a few times I went to take a photo of the fly with its wings in the spiked side, it would flip to its feet and start flapping its wings again. So I was just a little disappointed it didn't kill them on the spot as advertised. but not bad tool to get flys in high places and not having to pick it up with a napkin off the carpet, i do like how it stays in the spiked side. just wish they were a little sharper. but again, maybe i just had super flies that were unkillable. I saw some reviews say theirs snapped in half right away, both of mine have not broken, maybe some are more flimsy than others. I did notice it's not easy to clean unless you wanna get in there with a toothbrush

These fly swatters arrived in the colors of Christmas, green and red. While that did not set the tone I was hoping for, as I seldom see flies around Christmas time, I decided to give them a chance anyway. They are a heavier, seemingly more durable product than my previous fly swatter, which began to break into pieces during use towards the end of its “useful” life. Hence, the purchase of these fly swatters was made, after minimal research (“Amazon’s Choice” banner of honor recipient). The name also intrigued me. I have a smart phone, certainly I could use a smart swatter. Please excuse my poor attempt at humor, I don’t know what got into me. I assure you none of the rest of this will be funny.These “Smart Swatters” have the added benefit of trapping your enemy within their tactically resourceful spikes. More on this later (see “Spike Retention” below). While the grip is nothing extraordinary in and of itself, these have an opportune feel to them in your hand during attack mode (your swing). I’d equate this to a baseball player finding the right length and weight of a bat. It may not be right for everyone, but it seems to put me in the best position to succeed.I've noticed a seemingly sharp increase in both my hit rate and my kill rate since their acquisition. Now, one could argue that perhaps my flyswatting form is just better. Or perhaps my selection of fly position upon engagement is more optimal for a successful swat. Maybe, maybe not. I don’t have all the necessary historical data from my previous swatter to confidently back this up one way or another. What I can confirm is my swing feels more natural, powerful, accurate, and my results for these fly swatters so far are quite good:Swings – 21.5Hits – 18Kills – 17Spike Retention – 13A few comments regarding the above data. My Swings data only includes swings made while engaging with enemy flies. It does NOT include practice swings, of which there were several upon taking out of the box, and several more in the form of warm ups prior to use in production. The .5 swing was a swing I stopped half way through when it came too close to an antique candelabra.Hits include any contact made with an enemy fly regardless of outcome. My hit rate thusfar is a remarkable 83.7%. Again, I do not have prior data, but I’m confident this is well above my hit rate with my previous flyswatter, which at times could feel like trying to hit a fly with a toothpick. That may seem like an attempt at humor, but I assure you trying to kill a fly with a toothpick is no laughing matter, it’s quite frustrating.Kills include flies whose existence ended as a result of a hit with my new flyswatter. My kill rate comes in at an impressive 94.4% (17/18). While I again do not have this data for my previous flyswatter, I know of many times where contact was made and the fly was able to continue its obnoxious existence.Spike retention refers to the number of times a fly remained within the 904 spikes (I have yet to validate this count is accurate) that protrude from the fly swatter for ease of disposal. This is a prominent feature that is marketed reasonably well by the producer, and at a 72.2% success rate thusfar, it has exceeded my cynical expections (25% success rate). This pleases me.Overall, I gave these fly swatters 5 stars based on my early results. Admittedly, my figures represent a very small sample size and any claim I’d make regarding durability this early on would be a fallacy. Therefore, if I notice any substantial change in my statistics above or encounter any durability concerns, I vow to return to update my review.I hope you’ve found this review moderately helpful and I thank you for your time. Give this flyswatter a try and take your house back from winged assailants.

Ok y’all, I live in the south. The Deep South. We have bugs down here the size of house pets. If you really want to lose sleep tonight, look up “palmetto bug.” Speaking of those devils, one of them flew straight out of the depths of hell and into my bedroom last night. My two youngest kids were in my room waiting patiently for me to read to them, and they ran screaming to the next county. I knew what I was in for; I’ve fought this battle before. Despite regular treatments by professional pest control heroes, the devil still creeps in on occasion in the form of a giant flying cockroach. And I, being the only member of my family with the guts to go to war with them, have used every imaginable weapon in my attempts to kill these wretched beasts. I’ve literally smacked them with my husband’s size 15 lug-soled boots only to have them continue dive-bombing me like nothing happened. But last night, the tides turned. I grabbed my brand new spiked fly swatter and crept up on satan. I dealt my first blow, fully prepared for what was to come next. As I drew back my weapon, I looked in horror at a blank wall. It was gone. Where did it go, and from where would it come at me next?!? I called on the mighty name of Jesus and began looking about, only to realize satan was impaled in the tiny spears of my weapon. It was dead. Not just trapped, but DEAD!! One blow. One strike. And I had crushed the beast from hell. But wait, it gets better. I went to the bathroom to flush the evil creature (because you can’t just toss a palmetto bug in the trash. You have to flush them like a dead goldfish from the county fair, lest they spawn into 12 more while you sleep). A new sense of dread began to bubble up inside of me, wondering how I was going to remove the carcass from my magical sword. But a little voice inside of me said “smack the handle on the edge of the toilet…” So I did, and the devil dropped immediately into the waters of the porcelain grave. My friends and countrymen, I was victorious! I have faced the enemy, and the enemy fell. I woke up this morning at least two inches taller with a cape flowing behind me in a mystical breeze. And I’m here to tell you that you too can become transformed into a demon-slayer like me. Just buy this fly swatter. Do it. Do it now.

Just used it on a horse fly and did the job no mess and fast removal
