Can you swat an insect/pest that is on a surface (like a typical swatter) or do you have to catch the target while in flight?

I guess if you corner the fly under the racket, you can "fry" it, but mostly used mid flight

It is similar to a tennis racket. Not designed for "swatting" but is effective otherwise.

You will become adept enough to take flies out of the air. I found that when a fly is on the surface, just hover over it and it will jump up into the webbing and kill themselves.

One of the cool things is in how the racket uses static electricity... When you go after a target on a flat surface they wind up flying into the death trap because of the static.

You can kill most any bug even crawling ones if you can coax it to somehow make contact. Just covering the bug with the racket and jiggling it will make the bug hop then ZAP! Mosquitos get vaporized.

Gnats and any other bugs that get stuck on the glue boards starve to death. Glue boards are a non-pesticide way of killing these flying bugs. But be aware glue boards will not probably not eliminate the bug problem. The glue boards catch only the adults. You have to locate the nest to eliminate the egg laying area. Usually this is where there is moisture such as the soil of an interior plant.

If the spiders fly, it works great. Otherwise you may need to get the racket very close to the ground and ask the spider to jump a little. I use it for flies and bees with much delight, but for spiders, I suggest a tissue and an ounce of courage.

This poison relies on direct physical contact. If you can spray it somewhere flying insects might consistently land, I think it could be quite effective.

My son-in-law uses it mainly outside for mosquitoes and it completely incinerates them. I've hit a few flies inside and they're dead with one hit. If I hold the zapper down low and swing upward, I can usually catch them mid air. I look for the body on the floor so I don't step on it. The zapping sound (snap, snap, snap) is great! I don't know about bees and wasps.

I wish I could affirm the other answers. I have this same model "Commercial Grade". This is the can I bought because these reviews were better than the regular. I didn't get a powerful stream at all. It is an aerosol, so if you stand close enough, it should get in. I don't trust it to do the trick. It sure doesn't kill hornets on contact.

They work for any flying or jumping bug. It's a wonderful alternative to chemicals. They are very sticky so be careful when handling them.

It depends on the bug.The wings of the fruit flies and other small bugs will zap off. However, if you're careful and only zap them once they should be ok. imagine fifty thousand volts running through your body he will most likely explode. Same for the small bugs. The big bugs zap them once and they'll go into shock thereafter you can pick them up. Hope this helps.

I'm no bug expert, but since I think fleas tend to jump rather than crawl, they may not often jump into the assembled traps, but I'm sure you'd still catch some. If you don't have to worry about kids or pets getting into them, you could leave the traps open to increase your chances. But if you don't have pets, you probably wouldn't have fleas, so...

I say do what ever you want and this is why. THEY DO NOT CATCH FLIES! I bought four of them, did exactly what the directions said to do and we never cught one single fly all summer. So paint them anything you like, Heck make them be decrotive. You may as well get some use of them.

Sometimes it hovers, sometimes it flies away...but it lands in a few minutes. Don't loose sight of it or range over 100 ft

I have two of these feeders. One I have hanging hooked on a pieces of fishing line over a tree branch. You can make a loop in the fishing line and hook the feeder onto it. I haven;t had any bugs in this feeder at all. Bees land on it but they haven't got in the feeder. The second one I had hanging from one of those six or seven foot garden hooks and I got ants and earwigs in it all the time. Today I hung that one in a tree with the nylon fishing line and hope it will be the end of the bug problem. Good Luck

Yes- it can pick up small bugs. It would not be able to get field mice- but teeny bugs would be no problem.

Hello. The Insect Trap comes with a hanging loop built into the top of it to allow you to hang it where you would like. Thank you

Have never tried on a yellow jacket or hornet but my guess (based on the sizes of insects I have hit) is no. It would prob only stun it with one hit.

Yes. I used one indoors last year when I had some kind of tiny flying bug from a plant I brought inside in the fall. It caught all of them.
