By DAMON DARLIN
Zapping mosquitoes with an electrified tennis racket might seem to be a surefire entrant into the World's Dumbest Ideas Hall of Fame. But the Stinger Portable Bug Zapper actually works.



Behind a copse of dark green conifers, bees buzz lazily over neat rows of shiny tea bushes soaking up the summer sun.

Instead of pesticides, bug-zappers protect the crop from leafhoppers and other tea-loving pests.在一片墨绿色的 针叶林背后，一排排整齐的茶树丛闪闪发亮，沐浴在夏日的阳光下，蜜蜂嗡嗡作响，懒洋洋地在枝头盘绕。一块板子上写着一系列规定，要求采茶者 不得蓄长指甲，不得在脸上搽粉；严禁吸烟。这里不使用杀虫剂，而是电子灭虫器来保护茶树免受叶蝉及其它嗜茶叶害虫的侵害。
