TIA http://www.aldi-stores.co.uk/uk/html...uys3_14654.htm I seem to have 4 of these. 2 from Maplin at a similar price to those at Aldi and labelled as "half price", if I remember right. The other 2 were from Poundland. Bought one, they had sold out the next day when I went back, then last week they were there again. I bought the next to last one. I have them at relevant places around the house, and they do work although battery consumption is quite high so you have to be quick and accurate. They are no match for the masses of midges that seem to swirl around outside our front door, but great fun against small fly squadrons. -- Bill |

Swipe wildly at a whining bloodsucking mozzie in a dark bedroom at night, be rewarded with a crack, flash and spark, and you'll agree. Ther's two kinds: one with three grids, and anything between an outer grid and the inner one gets zapped in a spark and cloud of smoke (ok, small spark, tiny puff). Hard to get a wasp in far enough, good enopugh for mozzies and flies. T'other kind has just a single flat layer of wires: anything touching two adjacent wires gets fried. Makes it easy to zap larger insects, but hurts like the devil if you touch it -- can't happen accidentally on the three-layered one. Takes ten seconds or so for the bleed resistor to take the charge down to painless levels after it's off, too. Thomas Prufer |

TIA http://www.aldi-stores.co.uk/uk/html...uys3_14654.htm Saw one in action the other day. Trying to swat a sitting fly was entertaining as the rim prevented the mesh from touching the fly. It was eventually zapped after it had been bludgeoned to the floor and the bat pressed down on it hard. A plastic swatter would have been far more effective.

David WE Roberts :
Saw one in action the other day. Trying to swat a sitting fly was entertaining as the rim prevented the mesh from touching the fly. My technique is to place the racquet flat over the critter and swish it around a bit. Critter takes off, briefly. Snap, crackle, satisfying sparks and aroma. No mess on the window either. -- Mike Barnes |

Yes I've seen the commercial zappers in operation - ie the ones which glow blueish in shops and restaurants - are they "UV" in operation too? I'd assumed the Aldi Jobbie was an el-cheapo domestic version of these; is that not the case - does it have a different MO? If they are the same what's the issue - are domestic zappers not powerful enough to attract flies? or not powerful enough to kill them? David |

You are lying in bed, late, kept awake by a recurring high-pitched whine of a mozzie landing and looking for a tasty vein on your ear. You flail around ineffectively, and as you drift off to sleep, wheeeeeee -- mozzie diving in again. A half hour of that and you will believe me: bits of wing/body exploded all over is a good thing.

The cheap ones circa £5 seem to be the 3 layer type. There is what I think is a single layer one, but its £12. Maybe the fact its sold as a 'adult toy paddle' for apparent use by master or dominatrix increases the price. Dave. |

Never seen these before. Do they work OK? Only a fiver at Aldi tomo but it will be tricky for me to get to Aldi so don't want to make the effort if they're rubbish. TIA http://www.aldi-stores.co.uk/uk/html...uys3_14654.htm |
