Specs:
I am pretty sure that the transformer is custom made for these bug zapper products. Custom wound transformers are cheap and easy to make in bulk.
Most of these bug zapper racket products have a similar design, but the transformer specs might be a little different. It's hard to know for sure.
To locate the bug zapper, I did a Google Image Search for "bug zapper red transformer". Once I realized that the bug zapper was these tennis racket things, I did a google image search for "bug zapper racket transformer" which shows the guts from several different models.
Google Image Search works really well for cutting through the noise of a normal google search, and let you quickly find an obscure item if you can recognize it visually. I use it all of the time when I am on a scavenger hunt for an item.
I then found this DIY website showing modifications of the racket to make a Tesla Coil, along with this YouTube video showing similar mods.
Based on the images of the racket, I then searched for the exact product on Amazon and ebay based on the molding details of the handle and racket:
ebay had the closest match. This looks like the same racket, but has a black handle instead of brown. They are $1.34 each.
Amazon has this racket which also looks the same, for $9.28
I then tried a Google Patent search to try and get a parts list, but I couldn't find a reference that looked specific enough or accurate. Being a Chinese product, it is hard to find specific patent info for cheap products like these.
I would guess that any of these bug zapper racket products will have a similar transformer, but if you were looking for an exact match, that was the closest that I could come up with.
A photo would help. My first thought is eczema, but we can't see if its a pronounced/raised pimple-like mark (e.g., a bug bite) or something more akin to a rash. Eczema can produce isolated red marks which only get worse with scratching.
Also, look for a single, relentless mosquito. This bug racket is pretty good at getting the buggers in mid-air.
the creepy thing on the couch is iron man. I think he's jerking it. When I went back to the room to check on what was happening, the wasp moved. It's still alive. That tennis racket is this: http://www.amazon.com/Battery-Operated-Tennis-Racket-Shaped/dp/B003U55W6Y
I just zapped it again. Hit with the racket and then put the racket on top of it. I shall go back and zap again and again until it doesn't move.
You don't want this for interior use, get a bug racket instead
