I want a bug zapper. Is that mean?

You know, the kind that sizzle the bugs on hot summer nights?

Mean or not, I think we'll need one. We are near a lake and there is too much moisture not to get one.

Re: I want a bug zapper. Is that mean?

  • I have been known to utter the vastly intelligent phrase, "I hate bugs, I wish they were all dead."  So zap away, my friend, zap away.  I am a magnet for mosquitos, and I would get a zapper too if I could convince my do-gooder husband. 
  • Noo it's not mean.
  • If you're concerned that it's mean, get a bat house.  The bats will eat all your bugs for you. 

    Personally I don't think that killing bugs that bite you is mean, but that's JMHO.

  • They're bugs.  Zap away.
  • I'm such a girl when it comes to bugs...of all shapes and sizes.  Zap away sista.
  • Cora - bats?  I think I'd rather have bugs!  Two evils if you ask me!
  • I don?t think its mean.  It?s not like you tell the bugs to go into the zapper.  If they?re dumb enough to fly into the light, that?s on them.

     


    Plus, as someone who gets eaten alive by mosquitoes.  Eff em, I hate the freaking things.    

  • Cora, a BAT house? OMG, my skin is crawling. Yikes. Eek (covers head).
  • People buy bats on purpose?!  Ewww.  Bats igg me out more than bugs. 

  • You don't buy the bats, you buy the house that attracts the bats to live in it.  I never said it was something I would do, just an alternative to zapping them.  I don't see the need for an alternative, but thought I'd put one out there. 

    You probably all have bats in your area, you just don't notice them.  Me, I'm married to a science geek so he points them out all the time till I freak myself out and go in the house.

  • Oh, I've seen them! And they totally freak me out.

    Me: That's wierd. Look at those big birds - and at nighttime.

    DH: Those aren't birds.

    (scuffle ensues as I knock him over to get in the house).
  • DH bought a bug zapper last year.  They are a little scarey, you can hear it when the bugs get zapped and then at the end of the night you have a whole pile of them.  It is a little sick, but they work.
