If you aren't already familiar with the handheld insect killer, you are really going to love it and if you have used one before, I'm sure you'll welcome it back like an old pal! The hand held insect zapper does just what it says: it zaps bugs. But it does it really, very well.
Any insect that is touched by the wiring of the electronic insect killer is electrocuted. Smaller insects like midges and mosquitoes are vaporized with a very pleasing flash and a crack. Larger insect, like house flies and wasps are killed, but don't explode like the smaller ones.
How many times have these flying insects taken the edge off an otherwise lovely evening in the garden? Or how many times have you not been able to get a good 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 satisfying to get one's own back with the electric insect killer.
I don't like killing things unnecessarily - I'm married to a Buddhist- but mosquitoes? I'm sorry, they can die. And the hand held bug zapper does it without any more ado. No waiting and hoping they'll fly into the ultraviolet light and into the mesh. No, one sweep of the handheld bug zapper and the mosie's gone and you can hear whether you got her or not. (I say her, because the sucking mosquitoes always are females - I assure you, I wasn't being sexist).
There are two basic types of hand held insect killer. There's the battery operated bug zapper and the rechargeable electric bug zapper. Both work on the same principle, but I prefer the rechargeable kind, although I guess you could use rechargeable batteries too. (I bet they would be more expensive that the bug zapper in the first place). Anyway, I have been using a electronic bug zapper of the rechargeable kind for five years and I am ecstatic about them.
Nowadays, I spend a lot of time in Thailand with my wife, so you can bet your bottom dollar that I give my hand held bug killer a good work-out practically every evening. We usually eat in the garden in the evening and all socializing is done outside by tradition, especially in the rural areas, where we live. So it comes in very handy. I also use my electric bug zapper to 'sweep' the bedroom for bugs before we go to sleep at night. Just like a CIA agent.
The handheld bug killer just seems to improve every time I buy one, which makes it difficult to give you definite specifications. The electric bug zappers I had four or five years ago, often failed within six to nine months of purchase, although their ability to store a charge reduced a lot after four or five months.
However, the new handheld bug zapper will last 9-12 months and still be very pokey after nine months. My latest one even has a powerful torch called a headlamp incorporated into it. I'm not sure what it's supposed to be for, but if you feel that vengeance is sweet, you can attract mosquitoes with it and then kill them with your handheld insect killer.

Any insect that comes into contact with the handheld insect zapper is fried. Smaller insects like gnats and mosquitoes are vaporized with a very pleasing flash and a crack. Larger insect, like house flies and wasps die, but don't explode like the smaller ones.
