Are bug zappers safe for kids and pets?

Most plug-in grid models, including the Flowtron and GOOTOP units here, run at 4,000–5,600 volts on an exposed grid and should be hung out of reach. Indoor LED-style units like the Buzbug and GeckoMan use recessed grids behind plastic shrouds and are marketed as more child- and pet-friendly, though reviewers still recommend keeping them above counter height.
