I bought one for 11$ it takes 2 aa batteries and looks like a racketball racket. You push the button and hit bugs , some pop loud and light up bright as they fry. It works great and even nocks down big black 1" horse flies. A great mosketo killer even sitting on your couch. I dont sell em, it is just a great toy that works.
I have a manual one that does the same thing without the light show and sound effects, it's call a "Fly Swatter" and can be had for about $1.39. :-)
What happens if it isn't sitting on your couch?
Manual ones don`t get deer flies when you are out walking the dog and dont kill bugs in flight, the popping and light show are worth the price of entertainment, but it is cheaply made. Certain wooded areas I had to avoid , one deer fly can ruin your outing, they don`t give up.
what possible fun is that? i think its easily worth the 10 extra bucks for the sound/light show...

Sure they do. You just need a little more force, Start that exercise program. Just send me $7.39 + $9.95 P&H I and will send you the training swatter, and instructions for a program that is guaranteed to increase you swatting power by 25% in only six weeks or you get your $7.39 back (less the
4.99 refund fee)
oh ya and its well worth it too. joseph included for FREE his 'faster swatting in 2 minutes a day' video as well!! now i can knock em right out of the air!! im still not sure why you have to take the pills rectally though....

Only for those calling in the next 10 minutes.
OK Joe M will you take 17 bucks for the training manual and all.
But I still like the light show and popping those dam Deer flies make when I hit them just right. Last couple of nights mosketos are in my bedroom, tonight I bring in my Zapper at my bed table. Mosketos only produce a faint glow as they Blow apart but it is satisfaction and Confirmation, but your lesson Joe, will help my technique, its all in the arm movement I guess.
when you push the kill button is it instantly charged or does it have to whine up.
there are 2 buttons, one on each side as , for safteys, on a gun.
We've bought a bunch for the cottage. They are really amazing and fun to use. However we've noticed that after about 100 kills the bug zapper seems to break down. Pressing the button no longer produces a voltage, even if you change the batteries. The LED light on the handle still lights up letting you know that the button is pressed down, but you don't hear the high pitched whine that you normally do when its charged up. I'm guessing the charge/quick sudden discharge kills the capacitor or whatever electronics that it uses over time.
We've gone through about 4-5 of them in the past year. Everybody who sees them loves the light show and the popping sounds of bugs getting zapped.
There is no warranty info on the package, when mine breaks I will return it stating there is one since no limit was given. But it is cheaply made .
i suspect a screwdriver, a little general electronic knowledge, a broken one, a working one, and a couple hours would narrow it down to the 10 cent part thats breaking or failing.

I can't recall if it deer or elk flies, but in a wonderful old book on backpacking "takes a bite so big you think it is slicing off chunks..." :0
I picked up a small version on Ebay in the form of a comb for nailing fleas on my cats. Not spectaculr but effective. There's a little "zapp" sound when a flea gets picked up and if you pull the comb up, sometimes you can watch a mini arc light as the fles tries to jump around.
I don't know if the power is enough to kill them but it definitely stuns them so I can drop them int he toilet or other fitting receptacle.
Comb works perfectly well and unless you really try, you can't get zapped by it.
