Finally, a bug zapper with some class

slim4.jpg

The bug zapper isn't what you'd call a high brow gadget. No, it's entertainment for the easily entertained, a bug murdering device that emits a horrible glow and makes a somewhat-satisfying "zzzzap" sound every time an unfortunate insect is lured into its glowing maw. But it doesn't have to be such a tacky affair. Bring in the high-falutin' designers!

The Slim is a sexy-looking bug zapper designed to quietly sit inside your home and take care of any insect problem you may have without the gratuitous display of insect murder that you usually see with these things. Instead, you simply have to change the large sheet of flypaper that sits inside it, quietly collecting bug corpses as you enjoy a bite-free existence. Not a bad idea.

I think this is a great idea! It's attractive, fits a market that does exist, and gives an alternative to the ugly ones that no one wants sitting around in their nice backyard.

I'm kind of confused about how it is electronic AND uses fly paper... Also, is there any zapping involved?

I thought most bug zappers disintegrated the bugs.
