8 Best Bug Zappers to Keep Insects from Invading Your Space

BUDGET PICK

Pic Mosquito Zapper with Octenol Lure

PIC

Inexpensive
Small and lightweight
Limited coverage area

Key Specs

Coverage Area: Not specified; given its minimal size, best for a small/enclosed area
Power Source: Rechargeable battery
Ease of Cleanup: Easy; comes with a cleaning brush

This affordable option is even more impressive when you consider it does double duty as both a bug zapper and a decorative accent light. You can opt to use either or both functions, and the USB-rechargeable battery lasts up to seven hours. The accent light gives off a cool purple glow. This zapper uses an octenol lure in addition to the UV LED light for dual insect-attracting power (lure cartridges last up to 30 days). This compact (2.5 x 4-inch), portable unit can be used anywhere indoors or outside—great for an RV, office, or at a campsite.

Relatively small coverage area

Key Specs

Ease of Cleanup: Easy; comes with a small cleaning brush

The manufacturer boasts that this unit is “noise-free,” and many reviewers back up that claim, noting that they couldn’t hear it at all. It’s lightweight yet weather-resistant and durable, so you can put it anywhere in your yard where insects are an issue. It comes with a hanging ring, but the base is flat so you can also sit it on any smooth surface. (Because it’s so lightweight, it’s best to avoid placing it where strong winds might knock it over.)
