Best Fly Swatters of 2025

"I was looking for good, old-fashioned fly swatters and these fit the bill, but the handle is definitely shorter than expected. I only realized after they arrived that the plastic part is 6 inches long and the total length is only 18 inches. It's a shame, as they are nice and sturdy."

"Buying these was a great deal compared to local shops. You can never have too many swatters! The only thing I would change is to make the handle longer, as it's shorter than my usual swatters."

"I've purchased a set of six because my grandchildren love using them. I kept three for myself and gave three to them in different colors, so they can have their own assigned swatter. I was really surprised at the quality, especially for the price!"

“I've been using one blue fly swatter to tackle lanternfly nymphs, and it hasn't broken. They might not look super sturdy, but for the low price, they're definitely worth having around.”

“These fly swatters are colorful and really sturdy. I would highly recommend them to anyone!”

“I found this pack to be a great deal. The long handles and good weight make them better than those from the dollar store, and with so many in the pack, I can't go wrong!”

"I bought these fly swatters for my students during a unit on the Fly Guy books. They had a blast using them to 'hit' or 'miss' a Fly Guy picture on the board. Choosing a color made it even more fun, and the cute hand shape was a hit! They are just sturdy enough for the job but flexible enough to be safe for my students. Plus, the price is perfect for a speech-language-pathologist like me with no supply budget."

"I've held onto these fly swatters for several years, and I can confidently say they are still effectively swatting flies! The quality is impressive for the price I paid."

"Living in the country means we occasionally get flies in the house. These swatters are fun with their bright colors and design, but I found them to be a bit fragile. They work well for gentle swats, but if someone needs to put in a bit more force, I worry they might break."

“I think these are the best bug swatters I've tried! Unlike others, the holes are just right. I prefer the old metal ones, but they were too flimsy. These are stiff and effective at a great price!”

“These swatters do what they’re meant to do. The price is excellent for a three-pack, so I always have one nearby. They feel sturdy, and the thicker handle is a nice upgrade.”

“I love having multiple swatters around. One in the garage, one in the basement, and one in the kitchen has made it easy to tackle flies after a workman left the door open. These work great!”

"I've been using these heavy-duty swatters for a long time, but sadly, Lowes no longer carries them. Living in the Mid-South, we deal with a lot of big bugs, and these swatters hold up incredibly well over the years. I even once accidentally drove off with one on my bumper, and after retracing my steps, I found it on the road. It had been run over multiple times, yet aside from a few scratches and minor bending on the handle, the swatting part remained intact and lasted another two years!"

"I decided to purchase this swatter because I love its durability. However, when it arrived, I noticed the handle was three inches shorter than my previous one. With my old swatter, I had excellent aim and a 100% success rate, but now I find myself needing to be closer to achieve only 50-60% effectiveness. If the handle were the same length as my old one, I would definitely give it five stars!"

"This swatter is a beast! Although I haven't had a chance to use it extensively yet, I did swat my hand with it once, and it stung! It reminded me of my grandma's swatter. I hope it lasts a long time because it's made from strong materials. It's definitely not like those flimsy ones from the big-box stores. I'm planning to buy another set of three as gifts, seriously!"

"I was a bit worried about the fragility of these flyswatters since they were inexpensive and made of plastic. However, I’ve been pleasantly surprised! They are solid enough to withstand my swatting without breaking. I can confidently say this is the best flyswatter I’ve ever used!"

"Living in the country, I have to deal with a lot of flies. That's why I need flyswatters in every corner of my home. This pack is perfect! It has enough swatters for all my needs, and after almost a year of use, none have broken despite my rough handling."

"I recently got my hands on a new flyswatter, and I have to say, it's a mixed bag. While it does the job of swatting flies, I found the length to be quite short, and it feels a bit flimsy. It’s functional in a pinch, but I wouldn’t rely on it for the long haul."

"I found these at a great price and they work well as intended. They seem very durable too!"

"I appreciate the fun colors and the size of the swatters. Each grandkid can have one when they are outside!"

"These swatters remind me of the traditional fly swatters my parents used. They hold up pretty well!"

"When I got these swatters, I initially thought they seemed flimsy and would break after a single use. However, I was pleasantly surprised that they held up. Since buying them, I've easily eliminated 20+ flying bugs, so I highly recommend them!"

"I bought these fly swatters to replace an old plastic one. They work wonderfully for getting small pieces of food from under the stove. The telescoping handle allows me to reach those tricky spots, and I appreciate how compact it is for storage. There's a slight inconvenience due to the lack of a hanging hole, but the telescoping feature makes up for it."

"I find these swatters to be very solid. The telescoping feature is a great addition. However, while I don't expect them to break, I feel that their sturdiness somewhat hinders their efficiency. The swatting part doesn't always connect well with the surface, making it less effective against pesky bugs. If I hit harder, I worry about damaging surfaces."

"I’ve experimented with numerous fly swatters, and this one outperforms the rest. Unlike others that break or damage items, its wire mesh is durable and effective, even when slightly worn."

"I was thrilled to receive these swatters, as they resemble the old-school versions I loved. The screen is fantastic for targeting flies, but I wish the wire handles were sturdier."

"I found this product to be a huge letdown. Although it seemed promising, the material is too thin and bends easily, making it nearly impossible to swat a fly successfully."

"I never imagined I'd be reviewing a fly swatter, but here I am! I chose this one because it was the only single option available. I'm thrilled with it! The telescoping handle is incredibly useful, and it stays sturdy when extended, which surprised me. The wooden handle feels great, and its design is quite stylish. I managed to catch two flies at once on my first attempt!"

"I really love this fly swatter! It's super sturdy and easy to hold. The telescoping feature works perfectly, and it hasn't broken yet like other swatters I've tried. It's definitely a worthwhile purchase!"

"At first, I thought this fly swatter was a bit pricey, but after using it for over three months, I can confidently say it's lightweight and very durable. Unlike other swatters that just make flies scatter, this one gets the job done effectively!"
