Review: Want to wake up to a carpet of dead mosquitoes? This is the tool that can make it happen! - Just like the bug zapper grandma used to have! This thing works! We were being sucked dry by mosquitoes at the end of the summer and it was just intolerable to be outside. I got this a few days later got it hung out on my back porch and proceeded to massacre about two mosquitoes per second for the next three weeks. You could see a gray carpet of dead mosquito carcasses under this thing every morning. It was a glorious sight! It took out plenty of nasty cut worm moths as well. Highly effective almost frighteningly so. When I stood outside and watched it, it sounded like machine gun fire as the mosquitoes were flying into the bars. Seems to be plenty powerful to roast even the fattest moths. You get what you pay for. It is a little more expensive then the XYZ brands, but I would consider that an investment because you’ll get to use this for more than one year. Truly was a plug-in play system very easy to set up. Simply plug it in and you’re good to go. The outside cage seems plenty sturdy and the slits are small enough and far enough away from the electrical element to make sure you don’t accidentally touch it with your finger. My only minor complaint is that I had to unplug it each day and gently brush the dead moth carcasses off the electrical bars with a small twig by reaching through the safety great. After I got all of that cleaned off and my stick out and away, I plugged it back in for another day of reading my backyard of the insect hordes.
Review: Kills bugs, kept mosquito population down. - This zapper works very well! Bought it to kill mosquitoes as ours were out of control. This model killed so many bugs every night that I needed to blow it out the next morning. I'm not certain that mosquitoes were being killed, but the population dropped significantly after putting this up. Would buy again if this one breaks.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this unit be used indoor?**
A: Yes, works great indoors. The Zap might be a bit loud though. My dog runs out the doggy door when he hears the zap.

**Q: Does the light still attract mosquitoes during the daytime?**
A: the UV light attracts a ton of bugs at night but day time not so much. The Octenol makes the thing a bug killing fiend but in day time it is lack luster and probably a waste. Every morning it is 100% covered and clogged from mosquitoes and i have to use my data vac to clean it off. I use the 1 acre and 1.5 acre one and both are 100% covered by morning but during the day they hardly kill anything. They work at night well even without the Octenol but it definitely helps to have it. I have terrible mosquitoes here and mine only kills a few so if you are not flooded with them it probably won't do much for you during the day. I have to go outside with bug spray at noon to keep the mosquitoes off -_-

**Q: Is there a reason I can't use this indoor?**
A: I've been using mine indoors for years because I don't really care about the bugs outside... I don't want them in my house. This model whacks bugs day and night. it doesn't stink... the hum is loud. Death to the flying insect.

**Q: After six months of use the unit quit working and still won't after inserting new bulbs.  Can these units be repaired?**
A: Shipping cost may be as much as a new unit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ YES....This really works!
*by T***G on May 8, 2014*

I rarely give 5 stars but if this keeps working as well as it has out of the box, this summer should have a lot less pesky bugs flying around our back porch on those warm, summer nights. I purchased the 1 Acre Coverage model because the smaller one was actually more expensive at the time plus it didn't seem like it would be as effective for my particular use. I have this plugged into a 50 feet, green outdoor quality extension cord and it is exactly 35 feet away from where we sit in the evening and night. (Never really planned it that way but that seems perfect so far) I have a 50 feet long row of hedges that stand a little over 4 feet tall and have been on my property for more than 45 years. They are great to have and separate my yard from my neighbor's. They are the perfect breeding ground for gnats, flies, mosquitoes or any type of bug that likes to bite you when you're trying to enjoy your evening. Rather than spray poisonous insecticide on my hedges, because of obvious reasons I purchased this and within seconds after I plugged it in it started snapping the little critters. I don't have mine on a timer but instead I thought I'd use the remote control electric outlet that I used to turn on and off our outside Christmas lights. (Hey, it works great plus I don't have to bend down and I can turn it off and on from inside my house if I want. Also had back surgery and bending is not good for me) The light is kinda brighter than I thought but that's actually good because it will attract more to it plus help even my neighbor's out. I do not plan on using this in the rain or even a light rain because it just makes more sense not to. Even if it doesn't hurt to I'm sure it will last longer if you take it out of the rainy weather if you think to. Not a hard thing to do plus a high wind might knock it down if not secured well. I have mine on a Shepherds Hook that was used for a bird feeder in the winter. Sorry I got off the main subject but was trying to give you ideas on how to place the zapper since it works so well but yet you wouldn't want it drawing bugs to you but instead away. The replacement bulb seems a little expensive too from what I seen so take care of the unit and do common sense maintenance on it and hopefully this will last for years, outside of buying those bulbs. I am trying to include a short video. Do not be afraid to purchase this bug zapper. Unless it arrives broken or defective you will be very happy with the results.
