You can call them an updated version of the good old fly swatters that could eliminate all kinds of insects on contact.

While mosquito killer bats are definitely not the most effective and efficient ways of fighting the mosquito menace, they surely are one of the safest and affordable ways of doing so.

Before we present the review of the best mosquito killer bats in India, lets first look at how do they actually work?


How Does a Mosquito Killer Bat Work?

Mosquito killer bats work on the simple principle of electrocution. In simple terms what this means is, mosquitoes and other flying insects gets killed when they come in contact with the electrical wire mesh.

Mosquito killer bats use a small rechargeable battery connected to an electrical circuit that sends current into the metallic mesh. This low-intensity current is enough to kill mosquitoes and other flying insects but is not at all dangerous to humans or pets. At the max, you may feel a little shock when you touch the mesh when the electric mosquito racket is on.

When you swing the bat in the direction of mosquitoes, they get killed instantly as soon as they come in contact with the mesh.

Mosquito Rackets, also known as swatters, or zappers, are very easy to use.

All you have to do is simply hold the handle grip and turn on the mosquito bat. Some electric mosquito rackets may also have an additional push button that needs to be pressed for activating the current. Keep the button pressed and swing the racket head in the air such that the head makes contact with the mosquitoes. Mosquitoes get killed as soon as they come in contact with the mesh. You will hear a little spark when mosquitoes come in contact, you may also experience some burning smell or a little smoke caused by the burning of mosquitoes.

Unlike most Chinese mosquito killer bats, Hunter mosquito killer bat is very good in quality and is designed to last for long.

The product features a red button at the side of the handle which needs to be pressed for activating the current in the wire mesh. The button is aptly placed around the handgrip area which makes it convenient to use.
