 Bugs 'B' Gone! June 21, 2006

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.
Great product, better than I expected September 1, 2003

This is one of the best products I ever purchased. No more waiting for bugs/flys to land before you can have a chance to get them. With this handheld bug zapper you can zap the bugs anytime you can reach them, you do not have to wait for them to land. Just hold down the 2 buttons so the red light comes on, then once the bug makes contact with the metal bars on the handheld bug zapper it will kill the bug/fly/bee/etc. Some bigger pests like bees will take a second to zap, once they make contact with the metal bars they will stick from the electric current, then they will zap seconds later. Really small bugs zap instantly, people that see this will want one also, it is great. Kind of like a fireworks show at night. This thing zaps bugs just like a regular outdoor bug zapper except it is a handheld zapper. It is completely safe as long you you do not touch the metal bars while the red light is on, or shortly after the light goes off be carefull because the bars still have some charge in them. So do not touch the metal bars unless you want a good shock. You can see how much power this zapper has by pushing the 2 buttons so the red light comes on, then touch the metal bars of the zapper to something metal and you will see and hear a nice zap spark (kind of fun also).

I used one of these on a camping trip last week, and it worked great for a few days. Then at one point the button broke, rendering it useless. My campmates and I took it apart, trying to McGuyver a solution, and discovered the thing is VERY CHEAPLY constructed -- i.e., not meant to last. We tried to fix it, to no avail. Total crappy fragile plastic parts. If you're willing to drop 12 bucks for the temporary thrill of electrocuting mosquitoes and then to drop the broken thing into landfill to exist for the next ten million years, be my guest; as for me, I'm spraying on a little DEET and using an old-fashioned fly-swatter.

This product was broken when shipped to us - when we received a second one it broke within 3 minutes of first use.
 Black Widows Are Now "None More Black" June 12, 2008

In the summer time, the place I live is infested with black widows everywhere. They balloon into the house, build webs around the bulkhead, doors, etc. We're talking infestation folks. Last thing I need is a guest to sit too close to a widow tending a missed eggsack and deliver a bite.
I grew frustrated using my stove lighter, rubber bands, and Formula 409 was totally useless Against widows. One fully grown widow seemed to even chuckle and - dare I say - give me her version of the bird as she crawled OUT OF A FROTHING POOL OF 409. Inconceivable!
Then my girlfriend's mom gave me this zapper for my b-day, ironically, because she knows I love insects (???).
Anyway, I offensively left it in the corner to dust-over until I realized this would be perfect for widows (even though I'm strongly against killing non-poisonous spiders).
Well, the light bulb went off and, by the Power of Grayskull, I launched a full assault on the young and old widows around the house. I simply turned the Zapper on and first blocked their escape back into their hidey-hole then slowly moved zapper towards the middle of the web where they were. Eventually, they run out of web and the Zapper's Fury crumples them into a smoldering ball at my feet. A-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
A-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Highly recommended.
