The hand held bug zapper is the best way of clearing your immediate vicinity of insects, especially the flying ones like mosquitoes. The indoor bug zapper evaporates any insect from a mosquito to a gnat instantly on contact with a pleasingly loud, electrical 'zap'!
However, this is not to say that the hand held insect killer cannot be operated outside, so long as it is not raining. It should be handled just like any other high voltage electrical item. Keep the indoor bug killer dry and please do not use it when you are standing in the pool!
Models do vary a lot, but there are basically only two types of indoor bug zapper: the battery operated bug killer and the rechargeable electric bug zapper. Both are equally effective at killing insects and work on the same principle.
The hand held insect zapper looks like a 'junior' tennis racquet, but with three layers of 'strings', which are in fact wires. The central grid of wires becomes electrified at the touch of a button, while the other two grids, one on either side, are only earths.
When an insect is trapped between the wires of the electric bug killer, it creates a short, which evaporates it instantly with a loud crack and a flash. The hand held insect zapper will kill other bugs too, but they just burn instead of explode.
I have had the rechargeable type for about five years and am extremely satisfied with the indoor insect killer. In fact, the electric bug killer has come a long way over the last few years. A fully charged hand held insect zapper is strong enough to last for several hundred swipes and will hold it's charge, if unused, for weeks without any noticeable discharge.
The rechargeable battery pack will put up with intensive use for the best part of a year, although its ability to hold a charge for a few weeks gradually reduces after six or seven months.
The latest indoor insect killer I've used has a main on/off switch, a light that shines when it is activated (the brightness of this light also indicates the battery's strength) and a light that comes on when the zapper is plugged in for recharge.
The instructions say that it should be (re)charged for sixteen hours. I usually put it on charge over night once or twice every week or two, although the indoor insect killer shows a marked increase in performance with only a couple of hours charging.
The latest version I've seen also comes with a powerful beam called a 'headlamp'. I have found this very useful when walking in the garden, but I'm not sure whether it's meant to attract the flies in the dark so that you can zap them if you're bored. You know, like an anglerfish.
I've used the headlamp on my electric bug killer for that reason too, but the beam uses a lot of battery power. All in all, the hand held insect zapper is a huge asset to any outdoor event. The hand held insect killer is useful for 'clearing' your bedroom before retiring; it's unequalled for killing evening mosquitoes and it will eradicate wasps at a lunch table as well. - 14100
