ASPECTEK 20W Bug Zapper, Electric Insect Killer for Indoor and Covered Outdoor, Mosquito, Fly and Moth Trap with Protective Mesh and Hanging Chain for Versatile Setup at Home, Patio and Garage

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.

This thing kills flies, fruit flies, mosquitoes, and gnats. It makes a loud ZAP but every time it does, we all go, “GOT ONE”.

Update 8/7/25 Out of the many bug zappers I have tried, I am very glad to have discovered this brand. I have been given other brands to test out and several companies have tried to copy this brand, but other brands have fallen way short to the durability and performance in killing bugs like the Aspectek brand. My two older versions are about four years old and still work. Since the other brands are so inferior, I feel compelled and am willing to spend the extra time to tell how great this zapper is. I just tried their newest LED version of this bug zapper, but when I hung my two older zappers next to the new LED version, I observed that the older version zapped about twice to three times as many bugs. I will post a recent picture of my four year old zapper hanging next to an LED version to show what I am talking about. The pictures show ONE night’s worth of bugs. Beware that if you live in a heavily bug infested environment like I do, you will have to clean the grids each day. Because of this huge difference in performance, I just bought another brand new older version that still uses the fluorescent 10 watt tubes. I will be returning the LED version back. Yes, with the older version I have to replace my tubes about every year, an additional cost, but I want efficiency in killing bugs. The difference in the new version is that there is a new brace that screws the two outer safety grids together. I suspect that the reason is that the older style outer grids are difficult to snap into place and I have to pry them with a flat screwdriver to release. Since my older versions are around four years old, I do not remember the electrocution grids being so shiny made of stainless steel like the new one I just bought. The newest version does have narrower grid openings. Older version has a outer grid opening of 5/16 wheras the newest version has a 1/4 inch opening. This difference in grid openings will hinder larger bugs from entering. I have yet to compare the new old version to the old, four year’s old version. I hope you appeciate the comprehensiveness of this review. Original (old) product review: I am in my seventies and have purchased many bug zappers. It is difficult to find a robust zapper that not only has an effective electrocution grid, is easy to clean, and also has an effective set of lights that draw bugs and last a decent amount of time. I like that this zapper is about a third the price of the out door models I have purchased in the past that have died after one season’s use. The snap sound is about twice the volume of my outdoor models. The unfortunate handicap with this unit is that it must be used out of the weather. I am impressed with its sturdiness, and especially its high voltage electrocution grid. I know the electrocution voltage is high because it makes a startling loud, SNAPPING sound when an insect hits its grid. This can startle anyone close by and my dogs jump when the bug zapper snaps. The grid is sturdy and the spacing is narrow enough to easily kill flies and mosquitoes. I live in east Texas, out in the country where we get a decent amount of rain and livestock are close by to breed flies and mosquitoes. I have chickens that have suffered from annoying mosquitoes. The picture I posted shows my birds on their roost. They tolerate the loud snaps from insects being killed. I liked this zapper so much that I bought another one I will be installing on my patio. My main concern is how long the light and zapper grid will last. If this zapper prematurely fails, I plan to update this post. I was going to buy some smaller ones of this brand, but saw that several have posted that the lights burn out quickly. The main negative I have for this zapper is the electrical cord is inconveniently, way too short. For first impressions, I am very pleased.

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.

Seems to be high quality. Much larger than I needed for a small apartment and this will be a problem. Very bright but I have not heard any bugs get zapped yet so I hope it works well! I have had it for several days now. It should come with a bag of popcorn because the bug zapping show is amazing!!!

The little ones don't work. This works great.

This is my go to bug zapper! It works amazingly well and im satisfied.

This bug zapper works well. My only dislike is that it is Really Loud when it zaps a bug. I'm hard of hearing and my 13 y.o. dog is almost deaf and it makes both of us jump when it zaps! It wakes my poor old guy up from a sound sleep when it zaps! The good news is that it gets those pesky flies and mosquitoes. The clean up is easy. If the bug hasn't been blown to bits, its dead carcass is in the easily removable tray for dumping. I'm thinking I'll move this to the covered back porch and get something a little less noisy for the living room. Would I recommend it for indoor use? Maybe. I've had this for a week and still jump when it zaps, so maybe not. For a covered outdoor use? Absolutely. Keep in mind that it is for Indoor use so if you put it outside, be sure it is protected from the weather.

El pedido con los focos UV para lámpara anti mosquitos llegó antes del tiempo estimado, en buen estado, medida correcta y funciona muy bien.

Ist das beste, was ich auf dem Markt gefunden habe

took it to the Dominican Republic to use in the bug zapoer but only one of the bulbs worked
