Loved it. I have had several electric fly swatters over the years. My biggest issue with all of them was that they had a protective shield over the active electrodes to prevent the user from getting hit (not a huge issue as most of us wouldn't do it again after experiencing it). However, the protective grid prevented large numbers of bugs from entering the active area as they hit the grid first, being knocked down rather than hit, especially large bugs like wasps. In fact, wasps could not be neutralized with old blocks with protective screens. This device kills wasps if they directly touch the pairs of electrodes. The executioner removed the protective screen completely to allow any bugs to get to the spark gap wires. It's really cool, and if you're stupid enough to touch the wires, it will remind you not to do it again. Every bug I have with this thing causes a very noticeable POP with the desired results. Another great feature is the stronger and thicker wires, which tend to keep their shape and spacing. This is very important for these devices as they work by maintaining a fixed distance between pairs of wires throughout their length and then generating a high voltage across the wires just enough to cause an arc between them. When the bug either encounters or passes between pairs of wires, the bug shortens the effective distance between the wires and the high voltage can now arc and do its job. Note that the bug does not have to touch the wires to start the arc. , it simply reduces the effective distance between the pair of wires to the point where the arc can cross the gap. I've read all the reviews wanting this gap filled. However, this CAP is REQUIRED for all electric fly swatters to work at all. Very small critters (mosquitoes, gnats) pass between pairs of wires, reducing the effective gap distance to the point where arcing occurs. This device cannot work with only one surface! When it comes to electricity, as the saying goes, it takes two to tango. In general, current flows between two wires or from one wire to ground (which can appear like the other wire if designed appropriately). Conclusion: 1) There is no protective screen to knock many insects off the active wires. 2) Thicker wires and a very consistent gap size allows for better voltage control JUST BELOW THE ARC LEVEL, giving even small creatures a decent chance of getting hit. I catch mosquitoes almost every time. I haven't tried a mosquito, but even a mosquito encourages arcing when it passes between pairs of wires, reducing the effective gap size. In fact, this is the only way to get a mosquito. Remember, they do NOT have to touch ANY wire to explode. Don't worry about the high voltage causing you direct harm for two reasons. 1) The high voltage source has a very high impedance which severely limits the current. In fact, the high voltage drops to near zero within a few microseconds after it does its job. 2) From a human perspective, the size of the gap is so small that the current from an accidental electrocution only flows through a very small area of skin (the width of the gap) and causes pain only in a limited area. Sure, it's not fun, but it's not that dangerous either, other than reacting to a bump like dropping something or jumping in a way that causes problems. Or. If you do this to someone else, you could get hurt if caught! I am buying a few of these to give away for Christmas this year. I love the design and the reliability.
