ASPECTEK 20W Indoor Bug Zapper, Powerful UV Bugs Lamp Attract Insects and 2800V Grid Kills Flying Insects, Includes 2 Replacement Insect Killer Lights

Good enough to stop q housefly but leaves it partially maimed and struggling in an aluminum tray. I'm against killing species that aren't harmful (except through due process) the house flies avoid all square footage of the home and fly around my face (do I smell after bathing with body wash or resemble poop when I'm light?)Just too much. So that is my ethical justification for this. But the power is below the requirement to remove a larger house fly. 5/5 - works

This is giving my family a peace of mind this summer with handling the bugs inside. We have a bad problem with gnats/flies this summer. Within 5 minutes of receiving this item and plugging it up in our sunroom, it immediately began zapping bugs. My husband was consistently complaining of the gnats the kids were allowing in the house while having the door open when he was playing war zone losing because they were flying on him.Decent price and very effective. Recommend it 100%

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Works great! It attracted flying bugs immediately.Ease of installation:EasyBrightness:The light is very bright. Might be bothered in a bedroom.

I waged war on annoying flying bugs 5 years ago when I purchased this unit and 2 flowtrons. I got the big daddy Flowtron BK-80D 80-Watt Electronic Insect Killer, 1-1/2 Acre Coverage. Not sure if I ended up servicing my neighbors yards of their bugs or annoyed them with the summer time sizzle and smoke from large moths getting stuck and frying until their is no more bug shell caucus to be conductive. I got the smaller 1/2 acre Flowtron for the front yard, but they both ended up in the backyard. They light it up and make a constant loud bugs zapping noise. That said, they kill those bugs and pile them up. I'm not sure how many mosquitoes get killed, but I read bug zappers kill good bugs - food for birds. Octnenol does not seem to work well.Anyway, this review is about the Aspectek. This is an indoor unit, and it is very good a killing the bugs in doors. Watch their advertisement and notice that it is silent. Man, this makes a mini lightening bolt explosion when it goes off. It IS remarkably loud. Mine ended up in my garage. I'll be tooling around and then POP !or ZAP! happens and I jump out of my skin soon followed by an explicative word. That thing serves to keep you on your toes. I have gotten used to it over the years, and I need to replace one of the bulbs. The zapping sound did annoy my wife and I, but it was very effective doing its job killing bugs...probably the sonic boom kills or stuns surrounding bugs. I have seen some survive.Bug zappers are not the easiest thing to clean. The guard rest on a spring loaded track and can be tricky to get all the wire prongs back in place when reinstalling. Be careful when cleaning. Even though you turn it off, the charge remains in the capacitors until discharged or drained over 10-15 minutes being off. Don't let that thing discharge on your hand - then you will be startled and burned.The try works pretty well, but bugs will still get under it . The included tray works well to collect the dead bugs - dump in the trash. You can safely remove without getting without worry of being shocked, but I am always cautious - the loud zap sound is what reminds me to be mindful. I infrequently do a better cleaning using my shopvac for under the tray, the tray, bulbs and wiere guards. use my shop vac to clean under the tray, the wires andThe unit found it's home in the garage, where the loud zap sounds are pretty much contained without much disturbance. Apart from one occasion where my car alarm when off from bug smoke, there is much less of bugs sticking and frying on the electrode wires. It may just be I observed that due to the bug types found indoors vs. outdoors.Despite the loud zap sound, I recommend.

10-May-2023 Update:I brought the Zapper out a week ago, and it is doin' its job. It does work best at night as the only light in the area. I've read reviews that asked about replacement bulbs, I've yet to replace them. I run this 24x7 from early May to the first snow in late October'ish. Bugs can also fall to the floor too so keep vacuum cleaner handy too.19-May-2022 Update - Well, if a Miller Moth doesn't drop off the grid after being zapped, zapping continues like one gun shot after another. I have to turn the unit off, get a screwdriver with an insulated handle and tap the body off so it falls to the bottom.17-May-2022: I read the reviews, and one person (probably more) mentioned they should have bought the 40W rather than the 20W. The one thing I failed to do, my fault 100%, was to check the physical size. The 40W is 10" wider than the 20W. The reason Pterodactyls are extent, not because of that big asteroid 64M years ago in the Yucatan, it has to be this Zapper.I placed it in a window out of the way near the back door area. It has already nailed a fly & moth. People are right, when it goes off - it sounds like .45 caliber 1911 gun shot. I may move it to another room farther from the bedroom or my office. When I'm on work calls, I don't want my colleagues jealous thinking I'm at a shooting range. It does have a really loud SNAP.We live on 5+ acres in a horse zoned subdivision in Colorado at 6,800 ft above sea level. Nice as we don't have fleas and mosquitoes are rare.HOWEVER, one of our neighbors does a crappy, literally, job of cleaning up his two horses' "paddies". He'll go months between clean-ups. (Yes neighbors and I have talked to him, but he doesn't change so it is what it is.) In the summer flies are a bit of an issue. His property is a good 150 yards away but flies, ya know, well they fly.We have two dogs and a doggie door. Flies and moths use it too, and they invade via root vents and find their way into ceiling light fixtures and smoke detectors. Millers can be like the bugs in "Starship Troopers" only they don't lob meteors in which case I'd "need a bigger boat". Millers have a way of invading homes that are well closed-up, plus the doggie door is enticing.We get Miller Moths in May migrating west from Kansas heading to the cooler Rocky Mountains. They hit the Rockies just as hungry sleepy bears are waking up, and the bears love them. I suggested we get a bear and my wife suggested I might need therapy. My dogs are not so skilled at catching moths.We've had invasions of literally 100s getting in the house some years. In the garage I put out a large bucket of soapy water with a 1000LM LED over and it does the job, the house needed a better solution so I'm trying the 40W Zapper. Using a soapy water bucket indoors with my dogs, well, it gets messy real fast.I've tried the sticky sticks (see photo) and they are OK, they just don't attract the bugs. I've tried other small wall unit zappers that were useless. Hoping Sparky will attract them once in the house and will take over from there.I'll post an update this summer once I see how it works.
