Review on 🪰 Smart Swatter Fly Swatters, 2-Pack Assorted Colors, Patented in the USA with 904 Spikes for Effective Insects, Bugs, and Fly Killing by Ashley Webb

This fly swatter came in the Christmas colors of green and red. Although it didn't set the tone I was hoping for since I rarely see flies at Christmas, I decided to give them a shot anyway. This is a heavier and apparently more durable product than my previous fly swatter which began to fall apart with use towards the end of its "useful" life. As such, the purchase of this fly swatter was made after minimal research (Revain's Choice Honor Banner). The title also intrigued me. I have a smartphone, of course I could use a smart fly swatter. Please forgive my failed attempt at a joke, I don't know what got into me. I assure you, anything else will not be fun. These "smart fly swatters" have the added benefit of catching your enemy with their tactically sophisticated spikes. More on that later (see spike retention below). While the grip itself isn't anything out of the ordinary, it has the right feel in your hand in attack mode (your swing). I would compare it to a baseball player finding the right length and weight for a bat. It may not be for everyone, but it seems to me that it gives me the best chance of success. I've noticed a seemingly dramatic increase in both my hit rate and kill rate since acquiring it. Now you could argue that maybe my fly swatter form is just better. Or maybe my choice of fly position on collision is more optimal for a successful hit. Maybe, maybe not. I don't have all the necessary historical data from my previous fly swatter to confirm this with any certainty. What I can confirm is that my swing feels more natural, powerful and precise and my results for this fly swatter are pretty good so far: Swings - 21.5 Hits - 18 Kills - 17 Spike Hold - 13 A few notes on the above data . The "My Hits" data only includes hits made when hitting enemy flies. It does NOT include practice swings which were a few when taken out of the box and a few more to warm up before using in production. The 0.5 swing was a swing I stopped halfway through when it got too close to the antique candelabra. Strikes include any contact with an enemy fly, regardless of the outcome. My hit rate is currently an impressive 83.7%. Again, I don't have any previous data, but I'm sure this is well above my hit rate with my previous fly swatter, which at times can feel like trying to smack a fly with a toothpick. This may seem like an attempt at a joke, but I assure you that trying to kill a fly with a toothpick isn't funny, it's rather uncomfortable. Kills include flies hit by my new fly swatter. My kill rate is an impressive 94.4% (17/18). Although I do not have this data for my earlier fly swatter, I know of many cases in which contacts were made and the fly was able to continue its unpleasant existence. Spike retention refers to the number of times a fly has stayed within the 904 spikes (I haven't confirmed this number yet) that protrude from the fly swatter for easier disposal. This is a standout feature that is fairly well promoted by the manufacturer and so far has exceeded my cynical expectations (25% success rate) with a 72.2% success rate. It makes me happy. Overall I gave these fly swatters 5 stars based on my initial results. Admittedly my numbers represent a very small sample and any claim I would make about durability at this early stage would be an error. So if I notice any major changes in my stats above or run into any durability issues, I promise to come back to update my review. I hope you found this review somewhat helpful and thank you for your time. Try this fly swatter and defend your home against winged attackers.
