Electric fly swatters

If you want an electric fly swatter that you can recharge instead of replacing batteries, I’d start with the ZAP IT!, Aspectek, and a rechargeable 2-in-1 model. The main things to look for are a USB charging port, a protective three-layer mesh, a comfortable handle, and a battery that holds its charge.

Here are some good options I found, with prices and features to help narrow it down.www.bobvila.com+2

What I'd check before buying

• Charging: USB-C is convenient if you want to use the same cable as other devices.
• Safety mesh: Choose a model with protective outer layers around the electrified grid.
• Battery life: Treat claims such as thousands of zaps per charge as manufacturer estimates, not guaranteed performance.
• Automatic mode: Useful as an extra feature, but UV lights don't reliably attract every type of fly.

Never touch the electrified grid, and keep the swatter away from water and flammable vapors.
