If you aren’t already familiar with the electric insect killer, you are really going to like it and if you have had one before, I’m sure you’ll welcome it back like an old pal! The handheld insect killer does just what it says it does: it zaps bugs. But it does it really, very well.
Any bug that is touched by the wiring of the electric insect zapper is electrocuted. Smaller insects like midges and mosquitoes are vaporized with a very satisfying flash and a crack. Larger bug, like house flies and wasps are killed, but don’t explode like the smaller ones.
How many times have these flying insects 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 hand held insect 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 hand held bug killer 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 electric insect killer 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 kinds of electric insect 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 type, 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 had a handheld bug killer of the rechargeable sort for five years and I am ecstatic about them.
These days, I spend a great deal of time in northern Thailand with my wife, so you can bet your life that my electric bug killer gets a good work-out almost 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 very handy. I also use my electronic bug killer to ‘sweep’ the bedroom for bugs before we go to bed at night, just like a secret agent.
The hand held insect zapper seems to improve every time I buy one, which makes it hard to give you definite specifications. The hand held bug zappers I bought four or five years ago, sometimes failed within six to nine months of purchase, although their ability to hold a charge was less after four or five months.
However, the new electric bug killer 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 attract mosquitoes with it and then kill them with your handheld insect zapper.
