    I had an untra-violet bug zapper in the house until last week when Ian's mother smashed it. :( Now, here in Scotland we have (as I'm sure you're all well aware) nasty little things called midges that it eliminated by the thousand alomg with other nasties. :D
    I want to replace it but can't find one on the net anywhere. :cry: Anybody know where I can pick one up? Hope so or the midges will have their pneumatic drills fired up and raring to go shortly and guess who they'll attack - ME!!!!!! :eek:

    Thanks Frank and EJ for all those web sites - they're great. Obviously I was looking in the wrong places. :oops: Will check them out and see which one will suit me best. :D

    Frank that fly swatter can be bought in Holland for the princely sum of ONE EURO would you believe. :eek: Only problem is the tiny flies still manage to get through the mesh somehow and have a good old chew on me. Pity the only thing I can attract nowadays is $%&^%$ midges.

    1 EURO. Wow that's quite a markup on that site then isn't it.

    I agree with you about midges, they are pure evil. When you work in a bog turning or stacking turf they show up as the sun is setting and they will feed on you like there is no tomorrow. I HATE them! :x
