Handheld Bug Zapper

If you aren't already familiar with the hand held bug zapper, I think that you are really going to adore it and if you have used one before, I'm certain you'll welcome it back like a long-lost friend! The handheld bug zapper does exactly what it says it does, it zaps bugs. But it really does it exceedingly well.

Any insect that is touched by the wiring of the handheld bug zapper is fried. Smaller insects like midges and mosquitoes are vaporized with a very agreeable flash and a crack. Larger bugs, like house flies and wasps are killed, but don't disappear like the smaller ones.

How many times have these flying bugs ruined an otherwise delightful evening in the garden? Or how many times have you not been able to get a decent 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 rewarding to get your own back with the handheld bug zapper.

I don't like killing anything without due cause - I'm married to a Buddhist - but mosquitoes? I'm sorry, they have to die. And the handheld bug zapper achieves the job without any more ado. No waiting and hoping they'll fly into the ultraviolet light and then into the mesh. No, one sweep of the handheld bug zapper and the mosie is no longer in existence and you can hear whether you got her or not. (I say her, because all blood-sucking mosquitoes are females - I promise, I wasn't being mysogenistic).

There are two basic models of handheld bug zapper. There's the battery operated bug zapper and the rechargeable bug zapper. Both work on the same principle, but I prefer the rechargeable model, although I guess you could use rechargeable batteries too. (but then the batteries would be more expensive than the bug zapper was in the first place). Anyway, I have had a handheld bug zapper of the rechargeable sort for five years and I am very pleased with them.

These days, I spend a great deal of time in northern Thailand with my wife, so you can bet your life that my handheld bug zapper gets a good work-out almost every evening. We frequently 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 really handy. I also use my handheld bug zapper to 'sweep' the bedroom for bugs before we retire at night, just like James Bond.

The handheld bug zapper just seems to improve every time I buy one, which makes it difficult to give you definite specifications. The handheld bug zappers I had four or five years ago sometimes failed after six to nine months of purchase, although their ability to hold a charge reduced a lot after four or five months.

However, the latest handheld bug zapper will easily last 9-12 months and still be formidable after nine months. My newest model even has a strong torch called a headlamp built into it. I'm not certain what it's supposed to be for, but if you think that revenge is sweet, you can attract mosquitoes with it and then kill them with your handheld bug zapper.
