YISSVIC Electric Fly Swatter Racket with 4000V Grid (1500 mAh) – USB-C Charging, Indoor/Outdoor Bug Zapper
Product description
If you’re tired of swatting bugs the old-fashioned way, an electric fly zapper racket can make the job a lot more straightforward. This YISSVIC electric fly swatter is built around a high-voltage grid you activate by bringing the racket close to flying insects, plus an automatic mode that uses a light attractant (with a stated wavelength of 365nm).
That said, it’s not a magic forcefield against every type of pest. Based on the details provided, fruit flies and flies aren’t attracted by the light in the same way, so the results depend quite a lot on what you’re actually dealing with.
Key takeaways
This racket is a 2-in-1 mosquito control tool: use it manually like a traditional fly swatter, or switch to auto mode where it zaps when insects are drawn in by the attractant light. It’s powered by a rechargeable 1500 mAh battery, topped up via USB-C, and it includes a stand base for more convenient storage.
The design also focuses on safety for everyday use: it has a 3-layer mesh structure, including protective layers intended to reduce accidental contact with the high-voltage grid.
What you’ll notice day to day
In manual mode, the idea is simple—wave the racket and zap mosquitoes when they’re within range. The handle is described as lightweight and non-slip, which matters because fly swatters are usually used with quick, repeated motions.
In auto mode, it becomes a bit more “set and respond”. The racket uses a 365nm attractant light to bring in mosquitoes, and then the grids do the zapping. The catch is the manufacturer note: fruit flies and flies are not phototaxis and cannot be attracted by the attractant light. So if your main issue is mixed flying insects, you may find manual mode is the more reliable approach.
A realistic micro-scenario: you’re in the kitchen at dusk, a mosquito keeps circling near the light. In auto mode, you can position the racket on its stand base, let the attractant do the waiting, and then switch to manual as soon as you see it come closer.
Where it shines
If you want something you can use both indoors and outdoors, this one is clearly positioned for that kind of flexibility. It’s described as suitable for indoor/outdoor use, and the USB-C charging makes it easier to live with than models that rely on proprietary chargers.
It also helps that there’s a battery indicator, so you’re not guessing when it’s time to recharge.
What to watch before buying
The most important limitation is insect targeting. The auto/light mode is specified for mosquitoes, while fruit flies and flies aren’t drawn in by the attractant light. If your problem is mainly fruit flies, flies, or other insects you expect to be attracted by light, this may feel underpowered for your needs—even though the racket can still be used as a manual swatter.
Charging is another area worth paying attention to. The instructions recommend a 5V1A charger (not included). Using excessive current may damage charging performance, so it’s worth checking what charger you plan to use.

Usage tips
To get the best results, use the right mode for the insects you’re seeing. If mosquitoes are the main problem, auto mode can reduce the amount of active chasing. If you’re dealing with fruit flies or flies, expect to rely more on manual swatting.
Keep the racket on the stand base when you’re using it in auto mode, and only wave it when you’re ready to zap. The non-slip handle is designed for quick movement, but it’s still a good idea to avoid swinging it too close to people or pets, even with the protective mesh.
Is it worth it?
A solid pick if you want a rechargeable electric bug zapper racket that’s easy to use day to day, with both manual swatting and an auto mode aimed at mosquitoes.
It may not suit you if your main pest is fruit flies or flies, since the provided information says they can’t be attracted by the attractant light. It’s also not the best fit if you’re likely to charge it with the wrong power adapter—stick to the recommended 5V1A approach to avoid charging performance issues.
If you’re buying for indoor evenings and occasional outdoor use (like patio doors or near lights), it makes practical sense to consider this type of racket over purely manual swatters, as long as your insect problem matches the mosquito focus.
