Summer season is here, and with that, so are the mosquitoes. So, while we enjoy icy popsicles, and chilled cold drinks, these annoying (and dangerous) creatures make it impossible to enjoy anything. From our homes to public places, they are everywhere.?
Now, there are many solutions to getting rid of mosquitoes - spraying disinfectant to burning camphor to those coils that smell terrible. But this one invention has united netizens - the mosquito killing electric racquet.
The racquet provides a safe alternative to mosquito repellents that produce harmful chemicals and smoke.?
A Taiwanese inventor, Tsao-I Shih, is often credited with inventing the modern mosquito racket for which he filed a patent in 1996. The term he used was an "electronic insect-killing swatter".?
The technology has been copied and we can purchase the racquet almost anywhere for as low as Rs 200. However, the reliability and durability of the racquet have to be taken into consideration.?
One of the racquet brands that is doing rounds on the internet is the Godrej HIT company. It is extremely reliable and comes with an extended warranty.?
Indian actor and model Kunal Kapoor took to Twitter to praise the invention of the racquet. He posted a photo of the racquet and wrote, "One of the greatest tech inventions of the last decade."?
His tweet triggered a conversation among people on the microblogging website who shared photos of their electric racquets too.
