電蚊拍以其實用、方便、滅蚊（蒼蠅或飛蛾等）效果好、無化學污染、安全衛生等優點，普遍受到人們的歡迎，已逐步成為夏日滅蟲不可缺少的工具，成為夏季暢銷的小家電產品。電(dian)蚊(wen)拍主要使用(yong)4V可(ke)充電(dian)(dian)的(de)(de)(de)高容量(liang)鉛酸電(dian)(dian)池或2.4v鎳氫/鎳鎘電(dian)(dian)池，也有用(yong)干電(dian)(dian)池的(de)(de)(de)。工(gong)作中，經升壓(ya)電(dian)(dian)路(lu)在(zai)雙層(ceng)電(dian)(dian)網(wang)(wang)間(jian)產(chan)生(sheng)1850V直(zhi)流左右的(de)(de)(de)高壓(ya)電(dian)(dian)（電(dian)(dian)流小(xiao)于10毫安，對人畜無害），兩電(dian)(dian)網(wang)(wang)間(jian)的(de)(de)(de)靜電(dian)(dian)場有較強的(de)(de)(de)吸(xi)附(fu)力，當(dang)蚊蠅等害蟲接近電(dian)(dian)網(wang)(wang)時，能(neng)將(jiang)它們吸(xi)入電(dian)(dian)網(wang)(wang)間(jian)，產(chan)生(sheng)的(de)(de)(de)短(duan)路(lu)電(dian)(dian)流隨即將(jiang)其(qi)電(dian)(dian)斃。電(dian)(dian)蚊拍產(chan)生(sheng)的(de)(de)(de)高壓(ya)電(dian)(dian)還能(neng)釋放(fang)一定量(liang)的(de)(de)(de)負氧離子，既可(ke)殺(sha)菌消毒，又能(neng)凈化空(kong)氣。

在(zai)選購電(dian)(dian)蚊(wen)拍(pai)時要掌握技巧。質量(liang)好的電(dian)(dian)蚊(wen)拍(pai)可通(tong)過觀(guan)察手柄、電(dian)(dian)網(wang)及(ji)相(xiang)(xiang)關標志的方式(shi)去辨別(bie)。正(zheng)品的電(dian)(dian)蚊(wen)拍(pai)手柄多用工(gong)(gong)程塑料(liao)制成，光澤度很好；而次品往往是用回收塑料(liao)二次加工(gong)(gong)而成，不僅(jin)有毛刺(ci)，斷裂的可能性也很大。質量(liang)好的電(dian)(dian)蚊(wen)拍(pai)的電(dian)(dian)網(wang)一般為三層構造，且相(xiang)(xiang)鄰層之(zhi)間距離較大，看起來(lai)電(dian)(dian)網(wang)比(bi)較厚。同(tong)時，正(zheng)規廠家(jia)生(sheng)產的電(dian)(dian)蚊(wen)拍(pai)都(dou)標有產品名稱、操作方法、廠址、廠名等信息(xi)，產品還附(fu)有(you)說明書。
