Oh sure one or two mosquitoes may bite you on it's way to the zapper, but hay, THEY'RE GONNA DIE! 
That's has to be some satisfaction right? |
I worked in a bar that kept on under the sink to attract fruit flies. I bought one for those times when flies get in the house and I can't catch them. When I go to sleep at night, I plug it in and whatever is flying around flies right into it. The next morning, I vacuum them up. Unfortunately, I need a new bulb in mine, which is why I didn't put it out last night!

The satisfaction of killing a 3" roach is worth me having to air out the room that I sprayed it. I have sprayed it, repetitively, without ventilating the room. I was higher than a kite! I won't do that again! It's like sniffing glue! I believe my brother said it was a type of ether. You know, the stuff they cover faces w/ in movies to make them pass out!
Another use is for ticks. A drop on a tick puts it to "sleep" so you can pull it out.
