They sell these rackets in the U.S. They require 2 D-batteries. They do work, but rarely make the popping sound or give off sparks. However, I was in Vietnam recently, where they sell Chinese-made rechargeable models for about $2.60 USD each. These are designed to be recharged with 220V electrical outlet. Man, these are incredibly powerful. Just wave one of these in the air, and they will even zap the dust, popping and giving off sparks. Unfortunately, they are now a prohibited item in the plane’s cargo. So I had to dig them out of my suitcase, after they x-rayed my luggage at the airport, and give them back to my relatives who were waiting outside. Do not be scammed or conned by anyone from Nigeria!!!!!!

I just picked up three of these at Giant Tiger in Canada. They’re cheaper than the models featured here; just take two AAs. I’m wondering if anyone has any experience hacking these things? I’ve adjusted one already to put one 9V in place of the two AAs, just to see what would happen, and it definitely does make a louder sounding crack when touched against something metal. I was wondering if I could attach one of my 18V cordless drill batteries next :)

Tried the bug attracking zapper from Taiwan with ‘japan’ written on it, (Not that it is made there). I collected zappers from Hong kong, Mainland, Taiwan and Thailand, The Executioner model was tops. Most rackets are 1,000 – 1,500Volts at 0.03mA. The Executioner and one other 3 layer from Mainland are 2,800 Volts at 0.03mA. Even these high powered rackets are harmless to humans and most can only stun a fly or bee. Many retain power on the grills for that unexpected zap once you put down racket. Wet your finger then touch the grill, you’ll hardly feel it.
Enjoy

G’day,
these things are illegal in Australia, but I am trying to get some hard facts about them to challenge their “weapon” status. If anyone can get me some ciruit diagrams, and/or capacitor rating that would be great.

I have just return to NZ from Thailand where I bought 6 for about 90 cents US each. This is an unbelievale price for anything with rechargable batteries and an in-built charger. They are all over Thailand at that price. Very satisfying using ths in Thailand – but I haven’t tried it on an NZ bug yet because it is winter and we haven’t got bugs at the moment. Roll on spring -I’m ready

I had my mom bring me one back from her visit to taiwan. It was about 8 bucks, US. There are deluxe models for as much as $17 bucks that come with a stand/charger combo and a “bug attracting light” in the middle. Just set it up and plug it in. The bugs just fly into it and explode… oh man, that’s some sweet revenge!
