How to choose a suitable electric fly swatter

Summary: Prioritize electric fly swatters with three or more layers of mesh. For example, a five-layer design, with a smaller mesh in the middle layer, can more effectively trap insects, improving the kill rate.
How to choose a suitable electric fly swatter

Choosing the right electric fly swatter requires considering several factors:


Mosquito killing effect
Number of grid layers: Prioritize electric fly swatters with three or more layers of grid, such as a five-layer grid design. The smaller grid in the middle layer can more effectively trap insects, improving the kill rate.
Grid size: A grid diameter of 20-25 centimeters is appropriate. A larger grid increases the coverage area for hitting insects, improving accuracy.
Voltage strength: An electric fly swatter with a voltage of 2000-3000V effectively kills mosquitoes while remaining relatively safe for humans. Check the voltage parameters in the product description.
Mosquito attracting function: Electric fly swatters with a purple light mosquito attracting function emit ultraviolet light of a specific wavelength to attract mosquitoes.


Safety
Safety protection design: Choose an electric fly swatter with a double switch design to prevent accidental activation. Products that quickly eliminate residual electricity after power off can avoid electric shock risks. The electric fly swatter should quickly reduce the voltage to a safe level for humans (below 36V) after the power is cut off.
Material and insulation performance: High-quality electric fly swatters typically use high-quality ABS material, which has good gloss and insulation properties. The grid material is sturdy; some high-end products use galvanized or stainless steel material with a protective film coating to prevent rust and leakage.
