I bought this...
So its bug season here in the great white north and the flying insects are starting to absolutely drive me whacko so I bought this. Of course I set it up immediately and its zapping away as it should. Then I look at the side of the box...
Tell me... what strikes you about this?
I'll let you all know in a couple days what I find odd about this 
I'm sure some of you will spot it quite quickly. |

Do you turn it on during the day and if so how many insects does it kill during day light hours?

Insects generally dont come out in the sunlight as they dont seem to like it. But it zaps almost constantly after it gets dark.

This is an  evil contraption. It attracts insects so it can kill them. 
Surely you should be trying to keep the insects away instead of attracting them. The inventor must have his neurons crossed.
What self respecting insect doesn't come out during the day?

I'll give a hint... its in the wording.
I'll post the answer tomorrow. It struck me very odd that it would say that.

Is it the fact it keeps wildlife out? Rendering it pointless?

we have one that shaped like a tennis racket. it's fun when you're high to run around the yard at night flailing it around and hearing a constant zap

Exactly!
I spit out a half a mouthful of tea when I read that.
It struck me very weird indeed |

My mother bought one just like it a couple of months ago.
It's really effective but at times a bit disturbing - you'll be hearing insects popping loudly.
