Certainly not the tool to have if you have any kids .... OR .. if you have any co-ordination problems and may hit yourself or anyone around you ... Touch the metal parts of the swatter and you will very quickly learn what religion is all about with stinging ZAP and a spark ....

Flying bugs are fried immediately ... so if you have any fear or allergy of wasps or bees ... well then this baby is for you ...

Oh yes ... for those of you with an imagination the Amazing Bug Zapper is as close to Darth's light sword as you can legallay get ... LOL

Keeping the sport in bug zapping, this handy dandy handheld model takes it to competitive levels. The more passive models may be as effective, however are they as FUN? Can you feel SATISFIED? Can you COMPETE?

Please note that this is not a safe toy with a child around (and they are going to be soooo tempted, particularly if a younger sibling is close). Definitely a must have for the barbeque boy, porch princess, all those Happy Campers. Hint: You probably will need more than one.

My wife hates bugs, I purchased this for her. However, I liked it so much I ordered another one and will buy more for my parents. The best thing about Bug Zapper is that you don't have to deal with the 'bug juice' (if you swat them), you don't need to wait for the bugs to land and wait for your swat. I even used it near a bee hive, it was the best defense against them. A few cautions - 1) don't zap yourself, it's pretty painful, 2) don't hit metal objects, you'll see sparks flying (incl. some windows - "Low-E" windows have metallic coating), 3) you can't kill fruit flies with this zapper since it has horizontal bars that these small bugs pass through. However, you can find double or triple meshed version on ebay or sharper image if you have the urge to kill all sizes of bugs. 4) some big bugs need extended roasting - I've seen a few biggies come back to life after a brief coma.
All in all, it's quite entertaining to use.

Here in Thailand no home is complete without one of these zappers. I was going to send a bunch home because I was afraid that the safety police would never allow them in the U.S. These things work great. I accidentally touched the screen once and it gave quite a shock. You will never want to swat a fly or mosquito again in fact you will enjoy the nights with bugs because you can take care of them in style

Enjoy


instant annihilation of insect foes during household bug wars   October 20, 2007

This is very fun to use in a ghoulish goth sort of way. However, once you have used it you will never be without it. We purchased our first bug zapper in 2004. It still works exactly like new. We change the batteries once a year, an easy task. We have bought a zillion of these as gifts for friends and family. Here is how they work. First you have to have flies, mosquitos, or other flying insect pest. When you see the pest, act like this is a tennis racket and swing in the area of the pest while pushing the little on button. If your accuracy is even 50% the bug will be zapped on contact and fall straight to the floor. This is where our cat runs to gobble up the BBQ bug. We hate flies, live in a high bug area, don't want the sickness you can get from them boldly landing on your sandwich while your are bringing it up to your mouth. UGH. No smashing the bug into the wall like a swatter does. Do not touch the wires while it is on. You will get zapped and it is not refreshing.
