Hi all,

Its that time of year where mozzies and bbq's don't mix...
snip discussion of citronella etc

I'm leaning towards one of the zappers, but I assume not all zappers are
the
same, so any comments on:

a) Are zappers any good
b) Are some types of zappers better than others
c) Any alternatives to zappers which are not citronella burners?

Read a while ago (sorry to be so vague, but it was a couple of years back)
that the zappers give off a vapour when they kill something that's not
friendly to humans. I don't know whether the quantities are too minute to
cause any harm.

I also saw a comparison in some magazine, also a while ago, that concluded
the mosquito coils were the most effective! Don't know how true any of this
is.

And/or any other suggestions...

Thanks,
Dave.
