Product Description

Amazon.com Review
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

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW .... Darth Vader probably had one of these too ....., July 25, 2003

By	Rudolf Spoerer "dowadiddi" (Weston, FL United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I bought this little goodie as a lark and was surprised to learn what kind of a zap and spark one could get from tiny little batteries .....

Certainly not the tool to have if you have any kids .... OR .. if you have any co-ordination problems and may hit yourself or anyone around you ... Touch the metal parts of the swatter and you will very quickly learn what religion is all about with stinging ZAP and a spark ....

Flying bugs are fried immediately ... so if you have any fear or allergy of wasps or bees ... well then this baby is for you ...

Oh yes ... for those of you with an imagination the Amazing Bug Zapper is as close to Darth's light sword as you can legallay get ... LOL

5.0 out of 5 stars Mamalinda's Electrifying New Toy, March 23, 2003

By	Mamalinde "mamalinde" (Dallas) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Keeping the sport in bug zapping, this handy dandy handheld model takes it to competitive levels. The more passive models may be as effective, but are they as FUN? Can you feel SATISFIED? Can you COMPETE?

Please note that this is not a safe toy with a child around (and they are going to be soooo tempted, particularly if a younger sibling is close). Definitely a must have for the barbeque boy, porch princess, and all those Happy Campers. Hint: You probably will need more than one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bugs 'B' Gone!, June 20, 2006

By	Cynthia Carley "Video Poker Junkie" (South Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the most **wonderful** bug killer ever invented, and it's the 2nd one I've bought. The 1st one wore out after a couple of years and I was in a panic without it.

Killing spiders is a breeze with this - just hold it over them on the wall or floor, or catch them on it as they fall. It kills them immediately, then just hold them on it as you walk to the trash to dump it. Wasps, bees, hornets, flies... same thing - just hold it over them as they buzz against a window or wall and the minute they hit it, they're dead.

No bug smush from crushing them, and no insecticide smells or residue. I love this thing, and I'm buying it for all my family & friends.

One bit of warning, tho - don't let irresponsible adults or children get their hands on it. It does carry quite a charge for having just a couple of AA batteries in it.
