The weather is warming up which means you’ll be spending more time outdoors. Evening braais and long lazy lunches on the patio are an essential part of summer in South Africa, but these occasions can be ruined when unwanted insects decide to join the party. Winged pests such as mosquitoes and flies love to feast on you and your food. Keep them at bay by investing in an insect killer.

Also referred to as bug zappers, these fixtures lure any nearby insects using ultraviolet light. It’s said that insects are more attracted to this type of light because the flower patterns that attract them are revealed in ultraviolet light. This light is located inside a wire mesh network. This electrified mesh then kills the insect when they land on it. It’s important to note that the impedance of the power supply and the arrangement of the grid mean that an insect killer won’t create a current dangerous enough to go through the human body. This makes them safe to use around the home.
