If you aren't already familiar with the hand held bug 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 friend! The electronic insect zapper does just what it says: it zaps bugs. But it does it really, very well.
Any bug that comes into contact with the handheld insect zapper is electrocuted. Smaller bugs 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 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 dozens and dozens of times, I know! It is very satisfying to get one's revenge with the handheld bug zapper.
I don't relish killing things without reason - I'm married to a Buddhist- but mosquitoes? I'm sorry, they can die. And the electronic insect 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 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 types 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 type, 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 had a hand held insect killer of the rechargeable sort for five years and I am very happy with them.
Now-a-days, I spend a great deal of time in northern Thailand with my wife, so you can bet your bottom dollar that I give my electric insect zapper 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 country, where we live, so it comes in very handy. I also use my electronic insect killer to 'sweep' the bedroom for bugs before we go to sleep at night, just like a CIA agent.
The handheld insect killer just seems to improve every time I buy one, which makes it difficult to give you definite specifications. The electric bug zappers I had four or five years ago, often failed within six to nine months of purchase, although their ability to store a charge reduced a lot after four or five months.
However, the new electronic bug zapper will last 9-12 months and still be formidable after nine months. My latest model even has a powerful light called a headlamp incorporated into it. I'm not sure what it's supposed to be for, but if you feel that revenge is sweet, you can lure mosquitoes with it and then kill them with your handheld insect killer.
