bug zappers
Glowing pest killers
Bug zappers are electric devices that attract and kill flying insects.
A light lure draws bugs toward an electrified grid, which kills them on contact with an audible zap.
Hung on porches or patios during summer months: We put up a bug zapper to deal with the mosquitoes.
Also called an insect electrocutor.
