Electronic Mosquito Racket Zaps Pests, Insects and Bugs
The Electronic Mosquito Racket is the best electronic gadget to zap mosquitos, insects and flies. Its clean, easy to use and very effective for the simple pest control needs in your office and home.
Try the Electronic Mosquito Racket to finish mosquitoes in a zap. It sure does look like a tennis racket, but it zaps pests instead of tennis balls. The internal charged mesh is powered by electic current which hunts the bugs. It is a very popular tool in tropical countries where mosquitos are abundant. The power source is a rechargable battery (Though you might get cheaper versions running on 2 pencil batteries). It is light weight, portable and easy to carry.
How it works?
Just press on the switch on the handle and a live electric current flows through the inner mesh. Wave the gadget around, and insects and mosquitos will get trapped in the wire mesh and cannot escape. The moment a mosquito, bug or fly comes touches it, it gets a electric shock and gets zapped. Keep waving it around and get hold of undetected bugs and pests.
Is it safe?
Very safe. It has an strong external protective mesh on both sides of the live electric inner mesh. Just do not poke your finger inside the protective mesh. Anyway current comes live when you activate the On button, but remember static charge can sometimes persist. It is environment friendly and very safe. Bigger bugs can cause some fine debris.
What is the power source?
It has a rechargable battery inside. With a simple knob, a 2 pin plug ejects out which you can simply plugin to your mains switch and charge it. A light indicator tells you when the charge is complete.
Availability?
Its easily available in most tropical developing countries like India, from small shops to street side vendors.
Cost?
Its costs around $4-8 depending on the quality of the insect zapper.
Forgot to mention — I don’t know how much they are on Google Ads or Ebay, or whatever… but these cost less than 10USD…and that’s AFTER the foreigner ripoff markup.
I first came across these back in ’99 when I lived in Saint Martin (Caribbean)
Now I live in ARUBA (yes-now in the news for the on-going mystery of disapeared Alabama teen Nathalee Holloway…)
I rely on these to zap everything from mosquitos, flies etc, up to hornets.
With a fresh D-size battery, a mosquito will often vaporise on contact! The explosive ‘crack’ & subsequent ‘burnt hair odor’ is immensly satisfying – even more so after enduring sveral itching mozy bites…
Here they are sold in various chinese supermarkets at $4 each.
Healthier than using aerosol bug killer, & cheaper.
It’s great fun.
BTW: in case readers are wondering:
Aruba has always been and remains a very secure envioroment for vacationers. (& by carib standards pretty free from mosquitos!)
FYI: Aruban govt is closing all govt offices this afternoon to have all public employees take part in an island wide seach for the missing girl.
By comparison, how many tourists go missing in such places as Jamaica, Cancun etc.
Would their govts make similar efforts to find a girl last seen doing jello ‘body-shots’ with several boys in a night club???
I sincerely hope she does turn up safe & sound .
What’s the current and voltage put through these things? I can’t seem to find that kind of information anywhere.
These are readily available in Canada. I’m sure this is the case in any region with lots of mosquitoes and other biting insects.
My guess is they are illegal to bring into certain countries due to the possibility that you’ve USED them and there are little semi petrified bug larvae that can fall out and create a new evil species… Oz is pretty serious about not letting bad species in.
