Got one of the industrial insect catcher in the kitchen ,that thing is serious .
Love the sound when a fly gets caught, but it also has sorted a few gechoes .
Visitors shyt when they hear this thing klap .
Got klapped from this thing a few times while it was off and i was changing the UV tube .

Well that's one way to interrupt a good braai

And I know from experience, that once it turns into a crime scene, you cannot braai in that area until they are finished.

Something must have been faulty. Those units have very low amps, not near enough to harm a human.

Also, why bring up the fact he was a farmer? If it was an accountant or street sweeper would they have used that title?

Maybe to draw in the numbers, sensation to convert sales/views, drawing in on the early murders in the new year and the three killed in Free State.

At first I thought it was the same insect catcher as the one I bought from Builders that looks like a tennis racquet

Those sting! My 4 year old picked it up one day and switched it on while holding onto the front. And when I went over to take it from him and console him, I shocked myself with it. :wtf:

Fudzy - that is worrying. I have often seen food stores with zappers in the butchery / bakery area. A "bug" mist of 2.1m would definitely get onto food they prepare.

Snap, what about kitchens at take away places.

probably a chinese import!

I sold these things as a student to earn some pocket money. No way that it can kill you if it's not faulty. It gives you a nice zap, but nothing painful.

Are you talking about the battery or mains powered one?

Mains.

Let's hope the insect catcher is not black, otherwise Sunette & Steve...

 

[Fudzy]

Mains.

What voltage/amps does it output?

Now watch the ANC come with "rules and regulations" pertaining to installation, ownership and use of these things...

Well, in sects of the ANC they do want to tax plugs, so maybe.

Curse those conformance certificates

Probably one of those blue light/high voltage bars that zap the insects. RIP.

It may be, but then the things wasn't properly earthed or when he grabbed onto the insect catcher an cable pulled loose pushing electricity through the chassis. Don't know... only my suspicion.
