You just have to catch the pest "on the fly" (literally!), and it's fried.<br />Cost me about $6. Recharges overnight on any electric socket. I love how it's completely chemical-free, therefore non-toxic, and you don't need to hit hard, or even to aim well. If you make contact at all with the metallic mesh, ZAP! problem gone.<br />Even though it does deliver a high voltage discharge, it's of very low intensity. In the unlikely event you stick a finger just where you shouldn't (not easy to do by accident), you'll just go "ouch".<br />I've checked. Unpleasant but harmless on us big primates.<br />"Size DOES matter." ;-)<br /><br />Oh, one other thing: out of caution, I never bring it too close to electronics and especially solid-state memory drives. These things are DELICATE. Everybody knows they must be kept clear fron static electricity discharges.<br />It was already mentioned 15 years ago on the enclosed leaflet, when you bought a PlayStation1 memory card.
