Where can I find one of the old style bug zappers?

You remember the kind like your grandpa had that he told you to keep your fingers away from unless you wanted to be electrocuted to death.

Sweet memories right there, brother. I can still hear the sweet buzz and see beautiful blue glow of our zapper.

I used to have some.
A country girl, a case of Miller Ponys, a porch swing and a bug zapper made good cheap dates.

This could be before my time and I could be thinking of something different, but you mean the black light in a cage type deal?

Got one under the carport and gotta blow it off every damn morning it works so good. Sitting outside, you'll see the occasional moth fireball or hear the zap that makes you cringe because it doesn't stop for 10 seconds

Got it from lowes. 40 bucks

Mine uses a dark purple light in it not the old timey blue light. I still makes the same ole "zapp!" though.

Wife bought us a nice, high tech looking one. Only thing it seems to kill are termites when swarming. Have yet to hear it pop a mosquito. And I have watched it for hours!

Our old one was a huge blue light in a metal cage. Sounded like someone using a plasma cutter when a moth would get in it.
Had it hung off of a 2x4 over the river. Used to be able to catch fish under it like crazy!
