They work very well, Only problem I had to tape the battery cover on because I got a bit excited. If you have a "Poundland" near by pop in and save a few quid.

because of the lack of insects was not a great test...
however, got 2 of the little b'5tard5!! seems to have
potential non the less... will report when i get some
big numbers of game! :P

Sounds like a good idea - off to the land of the midge in a week or so so could be just the thing we need!

Is this the one you're talking about?

Here's a 12v version, but more expensive than the original post:

We got one very similar to this from a local caravan place for about £9 I think it was. Haven't needed to use it yet though but will be heading up through Scotland (not the west coast though) in a couple of weeks time.
