If you aren't already familiar with the electronic bug zapper, you are really going to love it and if you have used one before, I'm sure you'll welcome it back like an old friend! The electric bug zapper does just what it says it does: it zaps bugs. But it does it really, very well.
Any bug that comes into contact with the handheld bug killer is electrocuted. Smaller bugs like gnats and mosquitoes are disintegrated with a very pleasing flash and a crack. Larger bug, like house flies and wasps die, but don't explode like the smaller ones.
How many times have these flying bugs taken the edge off an otherwise lovely evening in the garden? Or how many times have you not been able to get a good night's sleep, because you know there's at least one mosquito in the bedroom. It has happened to me hundreds of times, I know! It is very satisfying to get one's own back with the electric bug killer.
I don't relish killing things without just cause - I'm married to a Buddhist- but mosquitoes? I'm sorry, they can die. And the electronic insect killer does it without any more ado. No waiting and hoping they'll fly into the ultraviolet light and then into the mesh. No, one swish of the handheld bug zapper and the mosie's gone and you can hear whether you killed her or not. (I say her, because the sucking mosquitoes always are females - honest, I wasn't being sexist).
Basically, there are two kinds of electronic 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 guess 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 zapper of the rechargeable sort for five years and I am ecstatic about them.
Now-a-days, I spend a great deal of time in northern Thailand with my wife, so you can bet your life that I give my electric insect killer a good work-out practically every night. 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 handheld insect killer to 'sweep' the bedroom for bugs before we go to sleep at night, just like an FBI agent.
The hand held insect killer seems to get better every time I buy one, which makes it difficult to give you definite specifications. The hand held bug zappers I bought four or five years ago, often failed after six to nine months of purchase, although their ability to store a charge was less after four or five months.
However, the new handheld insect killer will last 9-12 months and still be formidable after nine months. My latest one even has a powerful torch called a headlamp built 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 insect zapper.
