Fly zapper

[jimwilli]

I've tried searing for the fly thread thats really long with recommendations in for fly zappers couldn't find it. What is a good quality fly zapper to buy? I did get one of the amazon ones recommended on the other thread but it was total rubbish probably ok for mosquitos but not powerful enough for flies.

Id have preferred the stationary ones. Getting up for each fly seems like hard work?

They're much of a muchness TBH, UV light and a zappy grid of doom. Nothing more satisfying than some annoying fly buzzing all around then BZZZZZZZZZD

Yeh do the uv lights attract them good enough or is that why everyone seems to have the tennis racket ones?

Bought the aspectek one of amazon. Its been doing the business. Not had many big flies around but it has did get 1 and went off with a right few bangs. The other flies have just been small mosquito sized ones but it gives them a good old zap too. I might put on a timer plug when weather gets warmer just to come on overnight.

The problem with the powerful wall mounted ones is you end up with a disease-ridden debris field in the kitchen, which is not a good place for that sort of thing.

I was worried after reading comments like yours. Have you actually had one though? All the flies mine has zapped have ended up whole in the tray at the bottom. Not exploded everywhere like i feared.
