bug zapper
Glowing pest killer
A bug zapper is an outdoor device that attracts flying insects with ultraviolet light and kills them with an electric grid.
The characteristic snapping or zapping sound as insects are electrocuted gives the device its name: We sat on the porch listening to the bug zapper all evening.
Also called an electric insect killer or insect electrocutor.
