Electric Bug Zapper Indoor/Outdoor, 4200V High Powered Mosquito Zappers Killer, Waterproof Insect Fly Swatter Zapper Mosquito Trap Outdoor, Fly Traps, Insect Killer for Home,Garden,Backyard, Camping

What I like most is the clean snap that I can hear when a gnat, lured in by the black light tries to land on the bulb, but gets cooked by the spark passing through it to reach the second grid. That's one sweet sound, after trying cider vinegar and water with a drop of dish soap in it. The liquid works great for fruit flies, and these appear to be such at first glance, but they are not and are not attracted to the things fruit flies are. The gnats are tiny, like the light produced from a phone screen, follow the reflected phone light to the face of the person using the phone, then the warm air exiting from the nose, and the next breath in, sucks a gnat into your nose, and that's not pleasant at all. I have been bothered all winter by gnats. To tiny for fly swaters, and sprays, to quick for hands, I thought about using hanging flying insect killer strips until it said that it should be in a room that people occupy less than 4 hours a day. That's not what I consider safe for inside. I have had a 2 bulb, rectangular bug zapper that died after years of faithful service. Thinking that the bulbs would be the shortest life of the thing, I ordered a good supply of extras. I still have bulbs, but the zapper is no longer available sadly. I thought that this might serve as a replacement zapper, although it uses horse shoe shaped bulb of the same wattage, but only a single bulb instead of two.Well I got it unpacked and plugged in and in short order I was able to hear that snap of success, as "Another One Bites The Dust"!! The unit has a cleaning brush to tidy the grids, but I expect to just use a small cordless vacuum cleaner to remove any debris that is found in the grid or bottom of the zapper. I will check for a source of bulb replacements after 30 days, since I will know by then if I will keep it. So far however I am thrilled that I am reducing the number of flying pests that I have been trying to remove since last season. Sometimes it makes two snaps in succession, a double whammy!!!! Like a home run with the bases loaded!!! Buy it, it works inside without any toxic chemicals, safe around pets and children too. Unless you have flies for pets, lol.

Works great inside. It’s electric, so no batteries needed. Room should be fairly dark so it works effectively. It gives a black light effect. I think I’m gonna purchase another one for outside. Be prepared to hear popping sounds when the bugs get zapped. At first, we were startled when we heard that pop, but we knew it was really working. :)

I've had this zapper for over a year now from Amazon so I feel I can comment a bit. Still working great! I do not have it plugged in constantly but will have it on for days at a time when for example there may be fungus gnats around due to overwatering plants. That said, I never really have a major flying insect problem, but I have heard it zap here and there when it does its thing. I have never used this outdoors so I have no idea how it would hold up exposed to the outdoors.I mostly agree with what I am reading in the AI summary (nicely implemented btw, kudos Amazon.)Of note:Ease of cleaning - definitely. I find it easy to unscrew the plastic bottom tray over a trash can and done. There has only ever been a little debris in there so in my experience it has not been gross. In addition to emptying the tray here and there I would recommend the occasional blast of air from a rubber rocket blower or whatever you prefer just to ensure no dust buildup.Noise level - it is completely silent except for the occasional zap. In my experience, this is like once or twice a day when plugged in. It can be a bit startling, but I do not think it is excessively loud, and I like that feedback that it is working.Brightness - it is on the bright side with the lights out but not with the lights on. I'd imagine it works better in a dark room. I wouldn't sleep in the same room with it unless you are tolerant to light and zaps or wear earplugs / sleep mask. My kill-a-watt P3 device tells methis is using 12W.Cord length – AI summary flagged this. My guess is this is intentional as tripping over the cable may damage the unit or you might fall. I've seen these short cables in other devices as a safety measure. I have never used an extension cord. I will position it near an outlet elevated on a chair or even the counter. I'd follow all manufacturer instructions regarding this and everything else about it.Lastly, while the zapping element appears to be just a bulb protected by a cage. I wouldn't go poking around it with it turned on. No where near water, children, pets etc. Just follow the manufacturer guidelines.Anyway, works great and I can def. recommend it. I do not love insects but hate to zap them. I only pull this out when they cross into the pest-zone and if you have ever had gnats, you know what I mean. Recommended!

Bought this for keeping pests away in the backyard and indoors.What I like • The 4200V power quickly zaps bugs, making it effective at clearing large areas. • Can be used both indoors and outdoors, offering versatility. • The design is easy to hang and doesn’t take up much space.What could be better • The unit is a bit noisy when in use, which may be distracting in quiet settings. • It could attract more bugs than expected in high-traffic areas. • The build feels slightly flimsy, so handle with care.Bottom line: A powerful bug zapper that works well for both indoor and outdoor use, but it could be a bit noisy and attract more bugs. Perfect for people looking for a strong, easy-to-use pest control solution, but consider quieter or more durable models for sensitive environments.

Works really well, I was skeptical the first time I plugged it in because I didn’t hear anything for the whole day - but as of the past few days, it’s been zapping a lot of them. Keeping gnats to a controlled minimum rather than being bombarded by them. Just like that one other review, each zap is satisfying knowing they won’t be flying in my face.

Best bug zapper and in 1 week it got rid of 99% of the tiny bugs in the house. Anyone has gnats, firefly or any small bugs, this zapper will take care of it. It Works. Thankyou.
