Bug Zapper
Bug Zapper
Hi all, does anyone know where I can get a bug zapper in Singapore. I am looking for the ones that are shaped like a tennis racket and the 'strings' are electrified wire. Seems to be so many more mosquitos around at the moment.

Re: Bug Zapper
Try the local provision store. They can also be found in sundry stores. Failing that, roam around the Rochor/Bugis area (the non-touristy spots).skooch wrote:Hi all, does anyone know where I can get a bug zapper in Singapore.

I have never seen a tennis racket shaped in Singapore but there are plenty passive (with a lamp) and active (with a lamp + fan) available. Any DIY store carry them.
Edited to add: there seem available on-line (in SIngapore). Use google.

There are two types. The bursting-dirty-insects-into-millions-of-microscopic-debris-floating-around-the-air electrocuting type and the ooh-the-UV-light-is-so-pretty-I-need-to-fly-nearer-and-attach-myself-to-glue-board-behind sticky type.
I personally would not recommend the electrocuting type, especially in personal space and near food.
