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

 WOW .... Darth Vader probably had one of these too ..... July 25, 2003

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

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.
I bought 2 and will buy more September 23, 2006

My wife hates bugs, and I bought this for her. But I liked it so much I ordered another one and will buy more for my parents. The best thing about Bug Zapper is that you don't have to deal with the 'bug juice' (if you swat them), and you don't need to wait for the bugs to land and wait for your swat. I even used it near a bee hive, and it was the best defense against them. A few cautions - 1) don't zap yourself, it's pretty painful, 2) don't hit metal objects, you'll see sparks flying (incl. some windows - "Low-E" windows have metallic coating), 3) you can't kill fruit flies with this zapper since it has horizontal bars that these small bugs pass through. However, you can find double or triple meshed version on ebay or sharper image if you have the urge to kill all sizes of bugs. 4) some big bugs need extended roasting - I've seen a few biggies come back to life after a brief coma.
All in all, it's quite entertaining to use.

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).
