Best Bug Zapper Rackets in the UK

ZAP IT! This weapon couldn't have been called more suitably. Although many other rackets on the market (and even some on our list) allow you to kill flies effectively, they really can't compete with this racket in terms of speed. With a 4000-Volt electrified zinc steel grill, this rocket instantly neutralizes virtually any insect, from bugs, flies, and mosquitoes to thrips, aphids, and stinkbugs.

Instead of using a couple of AA batteries like most of its counterparts, the model comes with a powerful rechargeable battery. Hence, you won't have to waste your time and shell out extra money on replacements. The racket has a USB charging outlet and can be charged via any USB device.

But if you'd ask us to point out some flaws, the only thing we dislike a bit is the USB cover. It feels a bit too flimsy and doesn't stay shut tightly. Other than that, the ZAP IT! bug killer device is as good as flawless.

As a nice touch, this fly zapper racket is fitted with an LED light, making it one of the best devices here for nighttime use. And for your safety, it's designed with revolutionary three-layer mesh.

To round things up, the ZAP IT! racket doesn't leave any nasties a chance. It kills both the largest and the tiniest insects with a single swing. Equipped with a handy indicator light and a triple-layer safety mesh, it's as deadly to bugs and other pests as it's safe to people.

Sourcing4U Limited, the company behind the Executioner, claim that this is a branded executioner and not a cheap toy and we're definitely inclined to agree with them on that one. Now, there are a few reasons why that's the case.

First, cheap toys don't feature an electrified zinc steel grill with a 3,000-volt current running through it. Plus, the said single-layer 1.2mm steel grill is a lot tougher than the usual deal.

Cheap toys, more often than not, are made of subpar recycled plastic, while the model in question is comprised of its high-quality ABS counterpart. This way, the product is built to last and will allow you to execute bugs for years to come.

There's also the size of the whole thing that plays a pretty important role here. Adding up to 50 cm in length, this outdoor fly killer gives you a bigger reach, so you're able to kill flies from a slightly longer distance.

That being said, the size is also the downfall of this product. Well, the downfall is, of course, a serious exaggeration but it does make the racket a little heavy, probably the only problem we have with it. Other than that, this is a great instant swatter. With it, you'll be able to execute flies in one swing. It is just as effective and practical at home and in an office as it is outdoors in a garden, backyard, or anything in-between.

QcoQce Bug Zapper strikes a balance between reasonable price and good performance. Available at less than £13, it doesn't lose any points to more expensive devices and is able to instantly kill bugs and other annoying flying insects, including the tiniest types.

Designed with a tight grid, the racket serves like a trap, not allowing mosquitoes, flies, bugs, wasps or any other insects to seep through. Plus, it generates enough current to knock them down with a single swing. That said, the device is totally safe to use. In order to protect you from getting injured, there's a protective mesh on either side of the head.

The racket is lightweight and easy to hold. It looks small, however, it can be quickly mastered to immediately zap annoying insects. You simply need to press the button and the racket will electrocute any bug touching its surface. It's that simple.

The manufacturer supplies the zapper with 2 AA batteries so that you can use it right out-of-the-box. The only minor issue is that the plastic slot that covers the batteries might slide out a bit during vigorous use. Other than that, we have no problems with this zapper.

To conclude, considering more than reasonable price of this zapper, its usability features and efficiency, the QcoQce Bug Zapper can be a great choice. It can kill all kinds of flying insects including the tiniest ones while staying absolutely safe for you. No accidental shocks guaranteed.

If you're looking for something extremely light and portable, we recommend you take a closer look at the Zenoplige Fly Zapper Racket. The size of this zapper is cute, it's very easy to hold and you won't have any problem taking it with you wherever you go. It's the type of a zapper racket that is convenient to use for both adults and kids alike.

Despite being very lightweight and compact, the Zenoplige Fly Zapper Racket is very powerful. With 3,000-Volt current, it produces electrical shock waves that are able to eliminate bugs, flyes, mosquitoes and other insects in a second with nothing but one swat. Using the racket is simple: there's a little button conveniently placed on the handle to activate the current. What's nice is that the said switch cannot be activated accidentally during transportation, which makes the racket completely safe to carry around in a bag or purse.

What we also liked about this product is the ability to charge it via a normal micro USB cable. No longer will you need to worry about draining costly batteries when zapping.

Getting the good points out of the way, here's one drawback. This zapper makes an annoying sound when it zaps insects. Of course, it isn't as unbearable as flies' or mosquitoes' buzzing noise but it's an area worth improvement.

To sum it all up, we can confidently recommend this insect killing racket to those who need an ultra-portable and convenient solution for travelling. It's easy to carry around and powerful enough to zap almost all kinds of flying pests.

Although not the most powerful model on the market, the St@llion bug zapper is definitely close to that. Plus, it has a bright design and comes at a ridiculously low price, making it a good choice almost for everyone. Now, let's take a closer look at its key features.

For starters, the swatter is very easy to use. You just need to insert batteries (not included), press one button, and swing: the 2,500-Volt screen will get an insect zapped instantly once it touches the surface. That said, take note that using it against larger insects like aphids might not deliver an instant effect and you'll likely need to make more swings than enough.

Other than that, the racket is virtually flawless. It gives you quite a good reach. It's made of ABS plastic, and it feels good in the hand so you won't experience any fatigue, even if you, say, play "Mosquito Wimbledon" all night long. The handle is ergonomic and easy to grip. A compartment for batteries is also there, it's small and doesn't impede its use.

To wrap things up, the St@llion zapping racket is a good alternative to pricey models. Admittedly, it's less powerful than some of them, yet it gets the job done. A good choice if you just want to try killing insects in a swinging manner and aren't sure whether you'll like that or not.
