Electric Fly Killers?

Hi,
Has anyone any experience of electric fly killers? I'm looking for one just for my house, I have a fly screen on the outside door but they still get in and they've started coming in already.
I've briefly looked online and there are so many and with varying reviews, can anyone help?
Thanks.

    They are quite messy the flys explode and splatter. I would go for sticky paper strips instead.

    The Viper 2 fly killer is designed and built in the UK.

    Bought a couple last year and tbh didn't kill a single fly. Bought a screen to go over the back door in the end and that kept them out.
    Politicians and diapers have one thing in common. They should both be changed regularly, and for the same reason.
  • Not a lot of use for rogue bluebottles that hurtle in when the door is open. But we find them useful for leaving on in the evening when the room is dark and the light attracts them , stops insects buzzing around your head at night when in bed, kills all other nasties like clothes and carpet moths.

    We have one, had it years, I think it was from screwfix. It's a big industrial sized beast and it keeps the whole house fly free. It needs to be away from food areas as they do vapourize the flys.
    It rounds all the flys up at night as long as you leave doors open.

    I don't suppose you know the make and model do you?

    Thanks for your suggestions everyone.
