ASPECTEK Electric Bug Zapper, 20W UV Bulbs, Fly, Mosquito, Gnat and Moth Control, Indoor and Covered Outdoor Use for Home, Garage, Patio and Farm, Includes 2 Replacement Bulbs

Wow! You know, I really wanted to provide a video of how well this Aspectek 20W Bug Zapper works, but seconds after plugging it in -- and I do mean seconds -- it killed its first fly. Within a minute, two more. It happened so fast that I couldn't even put my iPhone into video mode to capture it. So allow me to go back in time for a moment... I have had a huge fly problem in my home for quite some time. The problem is people and pets coming in and out of the house. The flies just flock into my home and they are all over the kitchen. I bought one of those battery-operated fly swatters, but using those require a lot of patience. You have wait for your prey to land on something and then hope that you can actually swat the fly before it flies off. When I felt "enough was enough" and that the problem was getting out of control, I poured over Amazon reviews for days looking for the perfect electronic bug zapper. This one from Aspectek seemed to have consistently great reviews. Upon taking it out of its packaging I noticed that it was extremely lightweight. It's also well packaged in the box with a nice amount of bubble wrap covering the unit to avoid damage. Additionally, the plug and bug tray are secured with locking tie wraps. You should have no concerns about your unit arriving damaged. The Bug Zapper comes with a small chain that latches on to side hooks. That was a nice bonus. I actually opted to hang this on an abandoned plant hanger in my dining area. Once unpacked, you simply insert the fly tray into the bottom of the unit and turn it on. It's that simple to have it set up within minutes of unpacking. Upon turning on the power, two black bulbs instantly light. As I mentioned earlier, it took mere seconds for me to see positive results. Loud crackles told me that it had captured its first fly. Indeed, there was a fly hopping around in the tray. It had lost one of its wings during the zapping process. It was going nowhere. Two more flies were instantly killed within a minute later and their dead carcasses were deposited into the tray. All I had to do was remove the tray and deposit the bodies into the trash. Yes, I have noticed that some flies do get stuck in the mesh. However, the mesh is electrified and the flies eventually are zapped dead. Yes, this does make a rather loud crackling noise, but it's not to the point where it's really going to make anyone jump. Really, there is more satisfaction to the sound than negativity. I understand from some reviews that bulb life is not optimal. There are very good instructions included on what kind of replacement bulb to buy and how to replace it. I suggest keeping those instructions in a safe place. One tip I can provide: unless you have a huge problem in your home, don't keep this running for hours on end. You can keep it running for 30 minutes a day and get rid of your fly problem. Remember: the flies come to IT. For automated homes, I suggest buying a WEMO plug. I just tell Amazon Alexa to "turn on bug zapper" and the unit automatically turns on. I also turn it off with a similar command. WEMO plugs also work with Siri. You know why this is so great? You can be sitting in your easy chair, be bothered by a fly or similar pest, and simply command your bug zapper to turn on without having to leave your seat. It's so wonderful knowing that your investment has paid off mere minutes after unwrapping. For this thing to work so quickly and effectively gives me immense satisfaction. This bug zapper not only works, but it does so tremendously well.

I've had this for 24 hrs, and it is AMAZING! For reasons that are unimportant to anyone but me, I had a million flies in my kitchen yesterday. This morning I have none. I almost returned this because one of the bulbs was flickering, but it settled in and is working fine, now. I think it is even capturing the tiny fruit flies, though I had almost rid myself of that population before buying this. It is completely quiet except when it zaps the flies, but I'm pretty sure that is unavoidable if it is working. I ordered the 20 w size and it is completely adequate for my living area. Might need a 2nd for my bedroom, but this one is easily movable. It is exactly the same voltage as the larger size, and voltage is what kills the flies. There are cheaper models available, but be sure to check the voltage. The lights only attract. Flies don't die immediately (though they don't recover and fly away) so I would not even consider anything with less voltage. Looks gross as it fills, but no odor. It comes with a chain for hanging and a protective grid to keep little fingers and curious noses away. (I bought the base model, not the one that specifically advertises a protective grid.) I rarely write such glowing reviews with absolutely nothing to complain about, but I am so delighted. NO FLIES! I don't even mind if the bulbs burn out in a month. I will mind if the entire unit fails, but it has a 1 year warranty. It is made in China, but an entire Chinese address is provided. Distributed from Canada with website, tel #, and e-mail address for support. The dead bug trap is a little tricky to get out, but I haven't read the owner's manual. There is probably an easier way to do it. (I was warned that this wouldn't work in daytime hours, but I keep it away from windows and only turn on lights when I need them and it works fine. Maybe if you have one of those bright and beautiful houses that I am so jealous of, it will work better in the evening.)

– Game-Changer for Bug-Free Evenings! I recently picked up the ASPECTEK Electric Bug Zapper (20W UV Bulbs) for my home in Florida, where mosquitoes, gnats, flies, and moths can turn a peaceful patio or garage evening into a battle. This thing has been an absolute lifesaver! Setup and Build Out of the box, it’s well-packaged and includes two extra replacement UV bulbs — a thoughtful bonus that shows they stand behind the product. It’s sturdy, with a solid metal grid and protective outer mesh that keeps fingers (and curious pets) safe. The chain for hanging is a nice touch for my covered patio or garage, and it also sits flat on a table if needed. Plug it in, flip the switch, and the bright UV lights kick on instantly. Super simple — no assembly required. Performance The dual 20W UV bulbs really pull in the bugs. Within the first night, I heard that satisfying “zap!” multiple times as mosquitoes, gnats, and small moths met their end. It covers a good area (perfect for a standard patio, kitchen, or garage space). I run it in the evenings and overnight in covered areas, and the results are noticeable: way fewer bugs buzzing around. No chemical smells, no sprays, just clean electric action. The removable tray at the bottom makes cleanup effortless — just empty the remains and wipe it down. I’ve used it indoors near the kitchen and outdoors on the covered patio with great success. It’s also farm/garage-friendly for those larger spaces. The 2800V+ grid is powerful enough to handle what Florida throws at it during bug season. Pros: • Extremely effective at attracting and eliminating flying insects • Includes 2 bonus bulbs (saves money long-term) • Safe design with protective mesh • Quiet operation (just the occasional zap) • Versatile for indoor + covered outdoor use • Great value and durable build Cons: • Best for covered areas (not fully weatherproof for open rain exposure) • Tray needs occasional emptying if you have heavy bug traffic Overall, this ASPECTEK zapper has made my backyard and home much more enjoyable. If you’re tired of bugs ruining your time outside or invading your space, this is a solid, no-fuss solution. I’ll definitely be reaching for this brand again for future needs. Five stars! (Perfect for anyone in humid climates or with backyard chickens/pets where sprays aren’t ideal.) Highly recommend for Vine reviewers or anyone looking for reliable insect control.

I normally don't review products this early. I only got this bug zapper a few ago, but I have to say, this thing WORKS! I have been plagued by stinkbugs, Asian lady beetles, moths, and cockroaches for the longest time. I know I have to do some sealing around the house, but for the time being, I needed to do something about the ones that are already in the house. A bug vacuum just won't do, I needed to find something that would effectively stop the ones that are coming too close to where I work and eat. So, I decided to pick up this insect killer and wow does it work. I left it on one night and when I came by in the morning, it had zapped at least 10 different bugs. Nothing too crazy, but these things were absolutely fried. Some were stuck in the grill, some fell onto the plastic tray below, and some other ones just kind of seem to have been thrown little ways away from the actual zapper. Regardless, they were all dead, and that's really all i need it to do. I will say, a few things that have been a bit of a bummer, This thing is LOUD. Like, I can hear it a good distance away in my bedroom whenever it ends up zapping something. If I was right next to it when it zapped something, I'm pretty sure I would at the very least from the shock (ha) of the sound. Second, the cord is unfortunately a little short. You would probably need an extension cord if you want to use the chain that comes with it to hang it up somewhere. Besides that, it's really good. I look forward to using it over the summer when the bugs really start coming in.

This is the product you want if you have a fly or other flying insect problem. This will kill moths, flies and mosquitoes and probably others but I only have issues with those three. Less than a minute after turning this on it was zapping away. Almost like hearing a popcorn popper going. This is the second one of these I have had. The lights if left on continuously 24-7 lasted me about 8 months. If you have it on only at night when it works best then with the spare bulbs you should not need to obtain replacement bulbs for about 30 or so months. I will tell you that this device will make fast work of all kinds of flies and are particularly effective against those tiny ones you can barely see. In the first week I counted over 300 dead flies the last time I got one. I bought the second one because I loaned my original one to a friend who now doesn't want to give it back. So I made it a gift and ordered a second. This is a slightly updated version of the one I bought over a year ago. The assembly hardware appears slightly different and they now include a chain you can hang if by. Make sure you unplug this before you try to change the light bulbs. OH and there is a handy tray for cleaning. You will definitely want to empty that periodically. Do it gently as the flies don't weigh much and it is easy to dump them on yourself. A vacuum might work though I have not tried that. So how well does this work compared to other things I have tried? I have tried bug spray. That is pointless. Enough to kill all the flies would make the air unbreathable for 48 hours. I tried a cheaper solution consisting of a very small UV light and a piece of sticky paper. That was effective but on a very small scale and you have to replace that paper frequently. I ran out of paper in a week and then found I could not buy replacements. That item was about $10 so that would be $520 a year if you want constant protection. I tried one of those electric fly swatters that look like a badminton racket. It's the same idea but you have to chase the flies around all day because there is no UV light to attract the flies with. So that was a waste of money and I think I paid something like $25 for two of those. They were rechargeable but who wants to put all that effort into it? So then I tried this device and it worked beautifully. Nothing else completely eliminated all the flies in under a week. It took about three days to make the flies unnoticeable then it was just this thing killing them as they sneaked into my house, a few a day. For the whole time I had it going I never once had any but the occasional fly that would always find it's way to this zapper. A note, I live in a very warm climate conducive to insect infestation. In this area a lot of people have to tent their houses periodically to get rid of flying insects. This will prevent that from being needed at least for flying insects. My place is about 3000 cubic feet so not terribly big. I might suggest a normal size three bedroom house might be best served with at least two of these or possibly a third if your home is particularly large. Say at least one for every 5000 cubic feet of space. This will plug into a standard 110 outlet and uses a minimal amount of electricity. I have mine plugged into the same outlet with my refrigerator.

It works good even gets the little fruit flies. It doesn’t make a noise when it zaps a bug. Glad I purchased it

This is actually a quality product! I'm impressed! Be advised, the bulbs may flicker a little when you're breaking it in over the first few days - that's apparently normal. And it comes with extra bulbs. Of course, at a quarter the price of some other units, it's cut-rate manufacturing, so I'm sure the defect rate is a little higher, but at least for the unit I was sent, it's perfect. And this design is not nearly as loud as other bug zappers, so it's perfect for indoor use. We have (had) a big fungus gnat problem in our den from all of the potted plants and a land snail farming terrarium we've been experimenting with. This, along with spraying mosquito dunks bacteria into the soil is definitely solving the problem. The zapper has collected about 400 dead gnats in the catch area at the bottom in the first week, so very effective. I can't speak to how long it will keep functioning perfectly, but so far, so good.

Kills bugs dead, LOL. Not sure how much it attracts them though. I'll have bugs landing on my ankles right next to one of these. Seems like it's mostly random when they land in the device and get zapped. But they do work enough that I now run two and might even buy a third. It's nice to hear the zap when a bug dies.

Not suitable for Indian villages

Works amazing! Since purchase with a couple days fly infested room is now empty and bug zapper is full Easy to clean Comes ready to turn on right out of box Comes with 2 spare lightbulbs Everyone says it is super loud. The zaps aren’t super quiet, but definetely not as loud as everyone makes it out Sometimes doesn’t kill big flies leaves them wingless in the bottom to crawl around for a few minutes but they end up dying in the zapper floor anyway Definetely recommend works great!

Excelente para atraer y eliminar mosquitos.

Totally useless device did not catch not 1 fly

It's been more than a month since I bought this. I love the sound of insects getting zapped in this thing! Before I turn it on, I empty the collection tray. The following day, I will count how many insects got zapped before emptying it again. It also doubles as a night light in our bedroom.
