This doesn’t work. I observed a fly get zapped but he continued to buzz inside the trap and buzzed his way out. I’ve left this on nightly for a week and no bugs have been caught.

We were super excited about this item, especially that it was rechargeable. Unfortunately, after a week of using it all day long, we are sad to report it doesn’t work. We keep it charged and have tried different locations. Not one fly has even gone near it.

Thanks for reaching out — that definitely sounds frustrating, and we appreciate you letting us know. Our bug zapper should be taking care of those flies, especially when the grid is clean. Since it’s not working as expected, we’d love to make it right. Give us a call at 877-869-7546 (weekdays, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. CT) with reference number 22891017, and we’ll get you zapping again in no time. – Megan, STEM Consumer Care

Absolute garbage. This does not work at all. I’ve had it on for hours and not a single gnat, mosquito or fly has been zapped. Used it for several days. This is going into the trash.

We're sorry to hear this – that’s not the bug-zapping power we want you to experience! When the grid’s clean and clear, it should be taking care of those bugs in no time. Since it’s not doing the trick, let’s get this sorted together. Give us a ring at 877-869-7546 (weekdays, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. CT) and share reference number 22890960. We’re all about bringing the zap back – and we can’t wait to help! – Megan, STEM Consumer Care

Nice little zapper, like that its rechargable would be nicer if it was a Type C charger instead of the older style charger. Got on sale with a coupon not sure i would have paid full price.
Left it near Bananas where there was a couple flies and didn't zap a single one

The battery does not last , probably max only 4 hours . It hardly attracts any flies . Good thing I had a coupon because it’s not worth it

Thank you for your review, Maria. We'd expect this UV light unit to attract and trap pesky flying insects for up to 12 hours when fully charged, most effective at night. That said, we'd like to assist you further as your experience didn't meet expectations. Please give our experts a call at 877-869-7546 (weekdays between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT) and mention your reference number: 22889485. We hope to hear from you! – Brooklyn, STEM Consumer Care

Thank you for your review, Sarah. We'd expect bugs to be zapped when they come in contact with the grid as the UV light attracts them. As this wasn't your experience, we'd like to learn more about your experience. Please give our experts a call at 877-869-7546 (weekdays between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT) and mention your reference number: 22889476. We hope to chat! – Brooklyn, STEM Consumer Care

Charged quickly but that’s about all that it did well! Took it outside with me while I pulled some weeds in the evening. I was swarmed with mosquitoes and bitten many times. It attracted a few small moths, but didn’t kill them. They crawled in and out! Very disappointing!

Thank you for your review. We'd expect this to be effective against mosquitoes so we're sorry to learn you were still swarmed. We'd like to chat further about your experience to best assist you.

J Pittacus - 9 days ago, Verified purchaser
It is very small. Charged quickly. I used it outside on my deck and it killed a decent amount of mosquitoes. Come with a tiny brush to clean the coils but I just used a blow dryer on high- do this OUTSIDE and AWAY from you unless you like dead bugs on you.... That cleans it out quickly and cheaper than a can of compressed air. Would absolutely love this if it was bigger but for the price it is adequate.
