I Wanna Electronic Bug Zapper!!

I love these but can't seem to find them in the shops and am loath to buy from ebay.

Anyone know of any internet shops selling them or, anywhere locally to Bedminster, Bristol?

  • Thanks but they're quite expensive compared to ebay. I was hoping to find one cheaper.

    I know that Play.com is selling them for £7.99 but wondered if there was anywhere cheaper as someone said they paid £1.99 for theirs from a shop in Bristol but I don't know which shop.

    I bought mine from homebase - again £7.99.I have to say though,that it was totally useless.I think it only killed about half a dozen flies all summer.Ten minutes with a rolled up newspaper would probably be more efficient,and you should get one within your budget!!

    They usually have them on those cheap electrical/gadget type market stalls or shops, is there any near you?
  • Why don't you just buy yourself a big batch of venus fly traps, then you just have to water them with cold tea and they will keep all your bugs away, hopefully. Cold tea seems to make my mam's plants grow tremendously, the Christmas Cactus she had for years finally flowered once it got some PG into it.
