Simple Setup
HOW IT WORKS
Load it
Twist off the base ring and drop in 2 x AA batteries. Twist it back.
Aim It
Bend the gooseneck so the blades sweep directly over the food; a serving platter, a cheese board, a fruit bowl, a plate of burgers.
Switch It On
The blades start their slow rotation. Flies approaching from any direction hit moving air and moving reflection, and break off. That's the whole job.
We keep chickens close to the house so flies are constant. The bugs stay off the serving dishes completely. The gooseneck lets me point the airflow exactly where the food is. Use them indoors and outdoors both. Best thing we have bought for outdoor eating.
They work. A few things keep it from five stars. No chemicals is the main reason I keep using them. The base is light and slides if someone bumps the table. Worth it in spite of the small stuff.
It depends entirely on where you use them. The gooseneck on mine will not hold its position anymore. It droops down toward the table. No chemicals and nothing to clean up, which I do appreciate. They come out occasionally, not every meal.
Bought a set after seeing them on a friend's patio table. Set it near the fruit bowl and the fruit flies gave up. Portable enough that it goes from kitchen to patio to truck. Set them up at the barn when we are working through lunch. Buying more as gifts this Christmas.
Does the job well in the right conditions. They work indoors and outdoors both. The neck is stiffer than I expected. Bending it feels like it might snap even though it has not. None of that outweighs how well they work.

No, and that's the point. It keeps them from landing on your food. Nothing dies on your table, so there's nothing to clean up. If you want to take flies out of the room entirely, pair it with The Ranch Electric Fly Swatter.
-
No. They're soft, flexible and slow-moving. If your hand crosses the path, they simply bend out of the way.
-
Yes. There's no electric grid, no chemicals and no hard edges. As with any small battery-operated device, keep it away from children under 3 and out of reach of pets who chew.
-
No. It's effectively silent. You can hold a conversation over it without noticing it's on.
