AgentOkeyDokey Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 You know the kind that looks like a sports racquet. I am centrally located between Mee Chok Plaza and the Promenade mall and Big C Super highway and Doi Saket second ring road. Do you know of anyplace near there? Or even anyplace in CM? I really appreciate it. Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masuk Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Makro had lots of them a few months ago. Also a semi-permanent UV lights which attracts the mozzies thru the night and zaps with a zillion volts. For some reason, we cannot bring them into Australia.

circusman Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 The uv light machines are not that effective. Only work in a small area and are further diminished when there is other light around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Crab Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I have seen some recently at the Baan and Beyond, over the carpark, from the Central Airport Plaza (a new building) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjhbigv Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 You can get them at most supermarkets, but I find the best and most robust ones are the ones for 179bht at Makro, They have a little LED light on them! Much better than the cheaper ones that last 5 mins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the fan going in the area you don't want mozzies, spray now and again, get rid of breeding zones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the fan going in the area you don't want mozzies, spray now and again, get rid of breeding zones. To get rid of breeding zone, we'd have to fill in the drains running the length of each street in this moo barn. They have wide steel grilles every 7 metres or so, and they're full of wrigglers. The ponds all have small fish in them, the static water lily bowls which came with the house are regularly dosed with larvacidal 'sand. One can but try. My UV light certainly catches a good few mozzies, as I have to empty the tray every few weeks. I also use a Japanese produced pyrtherum spray which is listed as non-toxic.

cooked Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Not meaning to be insulting, but that sounds like a Victorian slum. Anyway around Buriram, all water plant bowls are inhabited by larva eating fish, Plaa kah yung I think, dead cheap. The larvicide is supposed to not harm fish.

rod2011 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Big C sell them as do Tesco Lotus. Start from 170 baht for the rather flimsy ones and up to about 450 for the all singing and dancing rackets.

Unfortunately this is one of those urban myths. If only it was that simple! Maybe not. According to QI (a UK Gen Knowledge TV programme) Listerene started life as both a floor cleaner and a cure for gonorrhea and then became a moutwash!

RecklessRon Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Bug zappers that are cheap don't work - see some of the comments - but high quality ones work fine. Mine cost $US40 on sale, which I consider to be the low end of the working models. At our cottage we had a $120 model that was so effective it needed to be cleaned daily to avoid it becoming cocooned in dead bugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimbathewhitelion Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Unbelievable this post is still active. I bought mine from Big C two years ago for 3 US dollars & it works perfectly to date.
