Indoor Electric Bug Zapper, 2800V Powerful Flying Insect Mosquito Killer w/ 20W Blue Light Attract, Plug-in Pest Control Machine for Moth, Fruit Fly, Fungus Gnat, Garage Bug Catcher/Eliminator/Trap

(Edit: July 26, 2025) Well, five years and a couple weeks later, after much use every year, the second bulb finally died. Now I'm here shopping for a new unit because I may as well get a new one rather than just replace the bulbs. Have to admit, I got my money's worth out of this. (Original review:) I've had this unit for about a week so far, and it's worked well. I've enclosed a picture of one day's kill of pesky gnats that pop up from nowhere to buzz around my house every summer. It's been like this every day, and I've usually relied on passive sticky traps or simply killing them by hand before. I've used bug zappers outside, so I knew what to expect. The reviews are right about the sound, though. It doesn't bug me, because each sharp crack means one more dead bug and the end of it's (previously) possible descendants. Each crack, does, however, startle my wife, so that's something you may need to keep in consideration. It's loud but quick, so if you can get used to it, it shouldn't be a problem. After having a gnat buzz around my face, disappear, and a minute later hearing that crack, I experience something akin to sweet vengeance. Cleaning is easy, as you simply pull the little tray on the bottom out and dump it. For some particularly fried bugs you may need to wipe or rinse, but it's still no big deal. I've done both and have also sometimes just vacuumed them out. Sometimes they get under the tray or outside the unit altogether. This is because not every kill is an instant one. I've seen them zapped and then move around a bit, sometimes walking, sometimes spinning, and then die. So you will find some dead bugs on both sides of the unit if it's sitting on a surface. If it's hanging up, this means dead bugs on the floor, so be prepared for that when you decide where to place it. The unit is much bigger than I thought it would be. I didn't read the size, but just went by people's pictures, and when it came in, I was surprised. This is as tall and almost as long as my small microwave. It's not too deep, and can be easily picked up in one hand. The power line is short, though, so it will need to put it near an outlet unless you use an extension or surge suppressor. I don't leave it on except during the day when I'm around, because I don't like leaving anything going while I'm asleep, so this is luring bugs to it that could be hanging around windows trying to get the sun instead. It's still a good idea to minimize any other attractants, though, to maximize the slaughter. I haven't had to do any bulb changing, but I have seen others talk about leaving it unplugged for a couple of hours before touching it. The manual gave like advice, although it may have just been for one hour. Either way, I'd double to it to be safe. If the unit dies before I feel it's been worth the cost, I'll update this review if I can.

This is a powerful zapper! The gnats have been terrible this year in my house, and after trying sticky traps (miserable failure) I got fed up and bought this zapper, honestly not expecting that much. Well, I set it on my kitchen counter, plugged it in, was blinded by the light (literally) and when a gnat hit it, you could hear the crack of lightning at the other end of the house! I am not exaggerating. It vaporized the gnat. When a fly or moth hits it, it sounds like a helium balloon just exploded next to your head. I'm sure this little unit could also be utilized outdoors, though your neighborhood might think you've opened up a shooting range in your backyard from the sound. I've never had a larger bug zapper before, so perhaps this is normal. So, pros are that this zapper is very effective against large and small flying insects, it is compact enough for your countertops or the top of your fridge, there is no annoying buzzing sound when in operation, and it makes a great nightlight for half our house. Cons are that it is loud when a bug gets zapped. Our four dogs bark at the crack of insect doom from the other end of the house, one of them now refuses to enter the kitchen and everyone in the household flinches and cringes when within 5 feet of the unit in anticipation of an impending strike of bug induced lightning. My husband is the exception, so another pro is that he is highly entertained by the gnats being electrocuted. He is also happy (or secretly disappointed, hard to tell) that he no longer is chasing the hundreds of gnats around the kitchen swinging wildly with the electric tennis racket (lightweight handheld battery powered zapper that never did anything, in my opinion) or attempting to vacuum them off the ceiling, appliances, etc with the vacuum hose (which was mildly successful and quite fun to watch a grown man wildly wave around a vacuum hose after microscopic insects traveling the speed of an F14.) My conclusion is that this was a great buy, I'd recommend to a friend, space friendly, insect unfriendly, nice longer cord, powerful, but be prepared for all in household to have PTSD every time someone snaps their fingers from the time of the first buggy demise on. Next 4th of July should be fun for all of us.

Had this since last summer and it has cut down the number of bugs in the house by a lot. Mosquitos especially during the warmer months! Not great for fruit flies but mosquitos and larger it works great!

Poor product. Unable to catch a single mosquito for the past 3 days we used the two of them. I bought. Now returning them. Perhaps, the design, attempting to catch mosquito from the base, seems impractical. Or, the power cut may have permitted the mosquitos to escape. I was more successful to kill around five mosquitos with bare hands last night. Product is waste of money

Después del tiempo sigue prendiendo y solo los que pasan los elimina pero creo que ya no atrae a los mosquitos quiero saber si son los tubos, aunque prenden, lo compre y me funciono, pero si hay que ver sino lo han rediseñado y esto hace que no sirvan debería tener dos rejas una para insectos mucho mas pequeños, ver la vida util lámpara UV y el tamaño para remplazarlo. Compre otros de otra marca y trate de ponerle un cordon de plastico y solo unos 2 milimetros aplaste el aluminio y lo prendi cuando paso un mosquito dejo caer la carga de energia y como pegaba con el aluminio se generó un corto que que barbaro si lo hubise jalado mi madre se ubise pegado, no le ponen asislante en la parte superior y cuando se aplasta o aboya por algun motivo ni pensarlo no lo deje al alcace de los niños piencenlo estos aparatos deben esta bien diseños y con proteccion.

working well ,but mosquitoes are not died we have to leave outside of the house

El producto cumple perfecto su función es un poco fuerte el sonido que realiza pero es muy efectivo, lo unico malo que me llego rotó y abollado de una esquina.

Worst products, never buy, more positive reviews doesn't mean good product but it is fake reviews. This product not effective in removing the mosquito in 10x10 room, waste of power, wanted to return but do not have options to do it. I lost money
