Looking for something fairly uncomplicated. Can it be something as simple as sections of a grid each hooked to the 2 different plates of a sizeable electrolytic charged sufficiently so that when a bug bridges the grid it gets zapped by the cap's discharge thru its body and then re-charges? Or is there more to it than that? J. Hayes, ihlpe!jph
