SWMBO comes up in horrible lumps when she gets nibbled by a mossie so she asked for an Executioner for Christmas last year. We have had it in the MH during the year but it is certainly working down here in Spain. What a crack you get when it comes into contact with a flying insect. We have just been round the MH and a few clicks from behind the curtains also had a few outside tonight. Certainly need mossie repellant on at 6pm. Must have missed a bit near my sandles and got a bite. Lots of people walking round with bites all up their legs.
 
My friend and I were stopped from taking one on Ryanair in our luggage. Even though it was still in its packaging.
It was confiscated! Lol
 
Yeah it’s a really great bit of kit! It works well on wasps as well. :alien:

Some of the reviews on Amazon are hilarious.


Some bug zappers make a little "fft" when you get a fly, maybe emitting a small puff of smoke. Others leave the flies intact and kill them with barely a noise. This one blasts them into a different dimension with a massive flash and a crack of thunder. Some times the force of the explosion is enough to throw the still living fly away, minus the leg that was vaporised. I cannot understate the satisfaction and sense of raw power when wielding this weapon. I AM THE DESTROYER OF FLIES.

From the title heading I had visions of a figure in black with a gallows behind him.
 
It is a Tazer for insects but don’t test it on your finger. I took one to a barbecue earlier this year and one of my friends seemed to want to test it on his finger, despite my suggestion to the contrary. As the wine went down his temptation level went up, until eventually he dabbed his finger on the buzzing mesh. “Ouch, bother and forsooth” he was heard to exclaim (or something like that) as he dropped the Executioner on an unsuspecting wasp. He then plunged his x branded finger into a glass of chilled white to alleviate the pain of his self inflicted wound. He seemed surprised that his bravery elicited more mirth than sympathy, particularly from his wife who was lovingly heard to say “you needn’t think that will get you out of cleaning the barbecue”.
 
We've had one for years, wouldn't be without it. The Poundland ones don't quite cut it though, instead of the satisfying zapping sound you just get a slight crackle and a nasty "frying tonight" smell. Also, I'm very careful about how I use it in the moho - those plastic windows don't come cheap and I'm sure they wouldn't stand up to a mis-timed clumsy swat!

Amazing the affect they have on Butterflies.. and kittens
 
This year I got some sticky paper thingies and an executioner and the dog has got very adept at snatching them out of the air,it's all protein!
I find that flies seem to laugh in the face of Raid,it used to be good so I don't know if the flies are getting immune or the manufacturer has changed the formula.
