All-Purpose Mosquito Killer-Bat
Jan 14th, 2007 by Jinja
As per yesterday’s writing, what was I in the Russian Market to buy? Among the many items on my shopping list:
A number of friends have been complaining about mosquitoes so I went in search of Cambodia’s answer to avian pest control. It’s a racquet with an electrically charged grid, which you can wave in the air to electrocute mozzies and anything else in its way.
I’m sure this is banned for any number of safety reasons in the States, and I’d probably get the device confiscated at the airport if I brought one on a visit. But an electric shock is pretty minor compared to the diseases you can get from these little menaces – dengue fever and (in rural areas) malaria.
There is a gratifying ‘pop’ as you hit a mosquito and a little fizzle as it expires. It’s a Buddhist country so I just think, ‘Better luck next life’.
I’ll see if I can take some pictures of the racquet in action. (Easier said than done.)
