You can find yourself a portable electric fly swapper zapper for way less than a tenner. That’s a lot of insect o cution for not significant cash: and with a summer set to break the record books seemingly coming, it might not be such a bad idea. Just don’t let little Danny get hold of it, unless of course you would like to have to explain to the doctor’s how your son electrocuted himself with a battery powered tennis racket. Client reviews suggest that, with bug zappers as with anything else, you pretty much get everything you pay for – so a sub five pound electric fly swatter zapper is likely to blow up the first time you test it against worthy prey, while an insect fryer that costs a lot more than ten quid will likely present you with several hours of fun (by which we mean “insect control”, of course) for the entire summer time.
Fun they might be (they are), but there are several severe benefits to buying a bug zapper. Well, serious-ish, anyway. To begin with, the portable fly swatter zapper could save you a lot of money in the far east: imagine all those cups, plates, bowls and knick knacks you would never have broken, if you’d have had access to an electric insect zapper rather than a rolled up tea towel. Not to mention all those horrible exploded flies that would never have ended up dried to the edges of all your tea towels. Reclaim your summer’s evenings, take back your unattended food dishes for your family. The conflict against the flying insect has begun – along with the hand held electric fly swatter zapper in your arsenal, you’ve just taken on the mantle of worldwide superpower. No more Mr (or Mrs) Nice Guy; forget about wrecked barbecues. Just you, the least likely invention ever to pass the scrutiny of those nice folk at the Kite Mark association, and also the millions of winged Things. Let war begin!
