Review by Mitch Vandelay for Biteshield RZ02 Electronic Racket Zapper Rating: Anyone will get more than $10 of entertainment value out of this, to say nothing of the utility.

Being in the south, the skeeters are bad as well as the flies. Since we live on a lake, we probably get more than our share of spiders as well.

This thing is great! With a regular flyswatter, unless the insect has landed on a surface and stays there as you approach for the kill, you cannot just swing the swatter and do much at all. With this mini tennis racket, you can get them in mid flight no problem.

Also a regular swatter can leave a mess; I was concerned about cooked flies on this, if you had to use it twice in a short amount of time, but it doesn't work like that. The most that will occur is an insect gets tangled in the wires and then just skaking the unit will cause the dead insect to fall out. The only thing I would change about this would be to put something on it which would make it easier to zap an insect that is just against a wall or window. Sometimes you have to get them to launch into the air so you can get 'em.

Review by the man for Biteshield RZ02 Electronic Racket Zapper Rating: This zapper works great however it is made from the cheapest most brittle plastic imaginable. I have tried different ones and they all are. I ordered five of these. The first time I swung at a fly I clipped the edge of the counter and the zapper shatered into about six pieces. My answer for this is to run a piece of duct tape (split lengthwise for fit) around the entire racket BEFORE you use it. This seems to help the cheap material absorb some of the shock from minor unintended contact however nothing will save this thing if you actually wack it against something.

Haven’t tried it with mosquito yet (there are no mosquito around my area), but will test it on mosquito when I go camping this weekend. Very easy to put batteries in (use 2xAA), has a button on handle to be pressed in while zapping, turns off when the button is released, so it’s safe enough. Quite light and comfortable to hold. I have flies problem in my backyard, and this thing works like a charm on flies. Now I love to see flies in my kitchen

Review by Martin Anderson for Biteshield RZ02 Electronic Racket Zapper Rating: Killing flies and other bugs is not easy. Flies move too quickly and squishing other bugs is just plain gross.

This product works great. Push the button on the handle and get the zapper within about 5 mm of the bug, and electricity does the rest. Flies don't have a chance.

Review by Live Free or Die, NH for Biteshield RZ02 Electronic Racket Zapper Rating: This is the best zapper that I bought from Amazon. The first zapper worked great for one season. It had several fixable breakdowns, until finally it just disintegrated. The second zapper, called Charcoal Companion, is very similar to the one that fell apart last year and I don't expect it to last much longer. Besides that, CC requires you to press two buttons instead of one, which is a very strange idea indeed. When you are under a sustained black fly/moskito attack, your finger dexterity is greatly diminished, which results in more wins for the other side.

This zapper has none of those problems. It is incomparably better designed, very sturdy, no loose pieces, and the electrified grid is protected by a safety mesh on both sides, so that you accidentally don't zap yourself or your girlfriend. And it costs less! Can't beat that. The reason I call it "nuclear" is because it has a prominent A over the grid. It is indeed a weapon of choice. Just nuke 'em!
