Bug Zapper

Price: $7.90
Manufacturer: As Seen on TV


Keep the bugs away from your next barbecue without resorting to unsafe insect sprays. Designed on the premise of a flyswatter, this handheld bug zapper is shaped like a tennis racket and kills insects on contact via an electric current when they touch the surface of the "net." The zapper operates on two AA batteries and, for safety, activates when you simultaneously press the two buttons on its handle. The bug zapper is safe for either indoor or outdoor use; however, people should exercise caution when the zapper is activated as it will cause a shock. --Cristina Vaamonde

Product Reviews

love it
maybe the reviewer who doesn't get the "pop" from the small bugs needs fresher batteries, becasue i get a nice little "snap" from almost every mosquito i kill (and i tell ya...it does my heart good to hear that sound) You WILL want more than one of these...i have 2 and i'm ordering at least 2 more now

when i first got them i thought...oh..cute...a novelty
it was christmas and not alot of bugs around to test it on (luckily i have a son and a husband who proved to be adequate in the testing of the strength of the electric shock) (relax...the boy is 25 and was armed as well...i just run faster around the furniture)

finally summer came and to my joy these not only kill the annoying large house fly with ease (and a seriously loud "POP") and no icky splatter you have to wipe off the wall...but they also do wonders catching mosquitos on the fly with that lovely little "snap"

holding the buttons down to complete the circuit is a bit of a bother..but you get used to it and it does help to avoid shocking yourself (a rather unpleasant feeling so i'm told by my husband and son)

highly recomended

Fantastic
Sometimes you find some silly little thing that turns out to be great. This is one of those things. We go looking for bugs to zap now like little kids hunting bugs. lol

Not reccomended
Great price and thought it would work based on some of the more positive reviews. But...either this unit is low powered or the flys in my part of the country need 220 volts to kill them. (I live in northern calif.) I have shocked flys with the accompanying sparks and smoke only to have them power up and lift off out of the unit and fly away. One benefit not listed on the packaging is its abilty to bring happiness. My wife has had no lack of humor laughing as she watches me chase, shock and then rechase and shock the same flys who defy death. Oh well, from a physical fitness aerobic standpoint this unit cant be beat. And rather than invest in costly pulse monitoring equipment using this unit puts you on the move making every attempted kill event an experience just shy of your target heart rate.
