The P Pest Sniper Zapper is a lightweight, portable unit weighing approximately 0.8 lbs, designed for temporary use on patios or at campsites. It features a dual-mode system that allows for both manual and automatic operation, giving users control over peak insect activity times. The housing is made of high-impact ABS, providing the structural rigidity needed for transport. The internal grid is constructed from stainless steel for high corrosion resistance, ensuring the unit can handle humid outdoor environments.
The unit is designed with a 1200mAh to 2000mAh battery, which can be charged via a polycrystalline solar panel or a USB-C port. While the solar panel is helpful for harvesting energy during peak daylight, the USB-C input is recommended for a full charge. The grid spacing is designed to manage various flying insects, though the unit is most effective against mosquitoes when used in its automatic mode at dusk. To maintain the internal electronics, it is important to ensure the USB port seal is fully closed during use in damp conditions.
Practical Reality: This unit is rated for rain resistance, making it suitable for typical yard use, but it should not be submerged or exposed to high-pressure cleaning.
If you are looking for a more permanent yard fixture with a specialized grounding bracket, the Zwiran 4500V Zapper with Extension Cord provides a more heavy-duty installation option.
