Best plastic swatters I’ve used- they hold up and work!
Made in the USA! It’s a very adult thing to get excited about, but I love these fly swatters! They are rigid enough to make firm contact with the bugs and actually hit them, and then the plastic prongs help you to either pick up and dispose of the insect or maybe even catch it with your hit. This is my second time ordering these (the first pair lasted for two years, unlike some of the other cheaply made ones) and I will keep getting them as long as they are available!

Best Cockroach Killer!
Best for fast crawling insects with exoskeletons like palmetto bugs, roaches, beetles. More effective than any other swatter for these. Kills instantly, then flick the dead bug outside or into the trashcan. Have not tried on flying insects. Have used just one multiple times with no breakage. Rinse off easily. Last pair ordered are a more flexible plastic, but same results are expected.

Hasn't broken, interesting design
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

A life changing fly swatter? REALLY
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!

Swatter
It's a fly swatter; it works very well. I have been using it to smack these annoying gnats that circle my patio lights mid-flight. The metal-handled ones bend these springs back fairly well.

Works!
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..😁

Not the same as the originals
These new versions do not have the same weight or stiffness as the originals. They don't work very well anymore. The originals did NOT have made in the USA printed on them and are actually longer. The spikes don't work very well anymore either. The fly just gets up and flys away.

Smart Swatter: A lengthy, yet passably informative review
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.
