I would like to get one of these rechargeable fly swatter thingies, the ones that look like a wee tennis racquet & despatch flies and wasps. Has anyone got one, are they any good & if so what brand is it please?

That looks good @rosydreams a little pricey for me atm though sadly

I had one and loved it, until I noticed the build up of fly debris on my light shade. It vaporises the flies and leaves tiny bits of fly in the air. I don't fancy breathing in dead fly so I just have a manual swatter now.

I've had this one for 3 years and it still works well. https://amzn.eu/d/2jSxOzH

I feel a bit guilty about killing flies as they're only going about their little fly lives, but I have tried everything natural to get rid of them. All the houses round here seem to have an issue with flies each summer.

Aldi sell them in the summer, not rechargeable but come with batteries. The batterieslast about 2 years. They are quite satisfying to use. I think it was 7.99.

I've just ordered this one as it's a rechargeable one I really wanted, thank you very much.
The others looked really great to though, thanks everyone for your suggestions
