        I have read with interest all of the inputs about bug zappers and
   have not seen any postings by anyone who seems to have used one.   You
   can theorize all you want and talk about bats all you want, but until
   you have used a zapper your just blowing so much smoke and clouding the
   subject.
        I have one on my front porch and one on my back porch.   Both are
   a good distance from doors.   I leave them plugged in 24 hours a day.
   At night they kill mostly mosquitos and some moths.   In the day they
   kill yellowjackets that are attracted to the dead moths.   I believe
   they are well worth the investment.   It is very rare that I am
   bothered by a mosquito inside my house.
