My Great Uncle ran a small town grocery store in Eastern NC. He lived in a house with an old 2 story barn out back that was full of bats. Back then, no one cared about the benefits of bats or got mad if you killed them. He got a large neon sign transformer from an old sign he had had at the store.

He set the distance between the + and - electrodes just far enough apart that when he cut the transformer on it wouldnt throw an arc between the wires. When a bat flew between the wires, the circuit would be completed and the critter would be zapped by the arc similar to a modern bug zapper.Him and his son had a lot of fun at night with the rig... The old guy was probably the inventor of the bug zapper and never realized or got paid for it.
