If you aren't already acquainted with the handheld bug zapper, you are really going to love it and if you have had one before, I'm sure you'll welcome it back like an old friend! The handheld bug zapper does just what it says it does: it zaps bugs. But it does it really, very well.
Any insect that comes into contact with the handheld insect zapper is fried. Smaller insects like gnats and mosquitoes are disintegrated with a very pleasing flash and a crack. Larger insect, like house flies and wasps die, but don't explode like the smaller ones.
Just how many times have these flying bugs taken the edge off an otherwise enjoyable evening in the garden? Or how many times have you not been able to get a decent night's sleep, because you know there's at least one mosquito in the bedroom. It has happened to me dozens and dozens of times, I know! It is very satisfying to get your own back with the electronic bug killer.
I don't relish killing things without cause - I'm married to a Buddhist- but mosquitoes? I'm sorry, they can die. And the electronic bug zapper does it without any messing about. No waiting and hoping they'll fly into the ultraviolet light and then into the mesh. No, one sweep of the hand held insect zapper and the mosie's gone and you can hear whether you got her or not. (I say her, because the sucking mosquitoes always are females - honest, I wasn't being sexist).
Basically, there are two sorts of hand held bug killer. There is the battery operated bug zapper and the rechargeable electric bug zapper. Both operate on the same principle, but I prefer the rechargeable kind, although I suppose you could use rechargeable batteries too. However, I think that they would be more expensive that the bug zapper in the first place. Anyway, I have been using a electric insect killer of the rechargeable sort for five years and I am ecstatic about them.
Nowadays, I spend a lot of time in Thailand with my wife, so you can bet your bottom dollar that I give my hand held insect killer a good work-out practically every evening. We usually eat in the garden in the evening and all socializing is done outside by tradition, especially in the rural areas, where we live. So it comes in real handy. I also use my electronic insect killer to 'sweep' the bedroom for bugs before we retire at night. Just like a CIA agent.
The hand held insect killer just gets better and better every time I buy one, which makes it hard to give you definite specifications. The electronic bug zappers I used four or five years ago, often failed within 6-9 months of purchase, although their ability to hold a charge reduced a lot after 4-5 months.
However, the new electronic bug zapper will last 9-12 months and still be very pokey after nine months. My latest one even has a powerful torch called a headlamp incorporated into it. I'm not sure what it's supposed to be for, but if you feel that vengeance is sweet, you can lure mosquitoes with it and then kill them with your electric bug zapper.
