jQuick question???? just bought it.. the red light comes on when I push the button.. however, do you need to touch a bug for it to work?? meaning how do you know it works unless you touch a bug..and how could I get in touch with the company?? thanks in advance

You can hang it just get a tack and hang the outer grid on the tack that's how I have my zappers and it doesn't break or bend the outer grid

Dude that noise is not a short. That is the transformer oscillating. That is the sign of a good zapper racket. Listen to a powerful flash attachment for a camera and you will hear the same thing. I make sure I do here that when buying a zapper racket.

One of the better bug catchers....the fine iron wire grid makes sure mosquitos don't manage to fly through them, as some other zappers, who have wide ridges that manage to catch flies, but not smaller bugs...(the one laying on your kitchen table), which I have, but highly annoying when you zap a mosquito spot-on, and still manages to fly off.... Bytheway....I don't kill spiders....I catch and throw'm out the window, as they catch annoying flying bugs...And indeed.....one shouldn't zap bumble (bees).....wasps is another story.....

This video is old I know but a few things to point out that may have been mentioned before. 1. the zapper is only 600V because the main charge capacitor is just over 600V 2. that is the bleeder resistor it stops to from accidentally electrocuting yourself a month from now from it still being charged. 3. to actually increase the voltage you can input a higher voltage then the two batteries but it may very well burn out the capacitor and other electronic parts 4. the best way to increase the power is add more capacitors in parallel of at least 600v if less then they will short out and not work.

Capacitor in parallel would just increase their current lasting capacity... I would say higher voltage caps would be nice because higher voltage higher current ;D Despite lasting less the zap would be stronger with higher current ;D Only works if we raise the input voltage, the batteries. Otherwise, caps in parallel are fine but make the charging time longer when you press the button

Faulty logic, change the capacitor instead. You don't even know what the resistor does. A finger nail clipper? There are these things at stores called, "TOOLS".

You shouldn't remove that resistor, it's a bleeder resistor (empties the capacitor when not in use). Instead what you could do is replace that resistor with a bigger resistor, and thus the capacitor will dissipate it's energy slower.

Its not quite that simple. Rather, in the name of cheapness, the bleed resistor is constantly inline and pulling down the voltage of the boost circuit. the circuit will never reach its maximum voltage. I performed this mod on a basic single thickness racket (probably the most dangerous), and the higher voltage works better on small insects (such as gnats) that normally escape through the mesh.

Upon test with a meter it does increase the output voltage and there is no increase in amps/watts which are the danger in electricity.

I've also heard you can wire a 9v for the power instead of the 3v it's running on now. Ups the power even more.

I don't know what brand harbor freight sells but the one at walmart is the zap master. Last time I went they have a buttload of these. Not sure on the quality but the last one I bought there was pretty good but it doesn't have that drain off resistor well mine didn't. I have a mega zapper by the same brand and this thing is killer. plugs into the wall.

yeah anything higher will kill you. And the new zappers you get at ocean state job lot in new england also have that hum but you need to have good hearing and they are lower quality. Get the ones at walmart.

If it was in parallel with the capacitor then yes, it's a bleeder resistor, a safety feature to prevent shock as you say. The improvement seen here is because removing the bleeder stops charge permanently leaking away, at the expense of safety! A better method would be to change the switching so that when off, a bleeder resistor is across the capacitor. When on, the bleeder is switched out and the full charge is available.

My racket stays charged for a few seconds after you release the button. I once made the mistake of setting it down by the business end and I accidentally squeezed the mesh together. A quick tap is nothing, but touch those mesh for any length of time and you get a pretty good jolt.

Electrohacker45 was right, this is called a bleeder resistor and only purpose is to bleed the capacitor charge off when not in use.
