Kill ‘em and be Green too: Solar Insect Zapper

People in certain areas of the world, lucky enough to have bugs on their list as biggest pest and annoyance, probably consider the bug zapper high in their list of best invention ever. But electric bug zappers can sip power pretty good, so we present the Solar Insect Zapper, which zaps away the pests without sapping any volts at all.

Here’s the full take on the product, from the makers:

This set of four solar insect lights simply stake into the ground anywhere in your yard and harness the sun’s energy to efficiently eliminate over 100 varieties of flying insects. The UV bulb turns on automatically at dusk and lures mosquitoes, flies, and other insects to eliminate them instantly with a 300-volt electric charge, providing chemical-free bug protection for up to eight hours on a full charge. An integrated solar panel requires only moderate sunlight and charges the internal batteries in eight hours. A grate surrounds the bulbs to discourage curious hands and protect wayward pets, and the housing is made from 100% stainless steel that resists damage from sun and rain. The units switch from bug zappers to accent lights at the touch of a button.

You can bring a set home for only $99.95, which isn’t too bad for a little buzz-free peace of mind in your backyard.
