Product Description

Portable bug zapper built-in LED lantern. The UV light in the zapper is harmless to humans and pets but fatally attractive to insects. The Electronic Flying Insect Killer uses ultraviolet black light to lure light sensitive flying insects into an electrically charged metal grid, destroying them quickly. Dead insects are collected in the tray at the base of the unit. The Electronic Flying Insect Killer works night and day to protect homes and commercial premises alike. Use it in domestic rooms and pet areas, shops, factories, farms, stables or kennels. Electronic Flying Insect Killer provides reliable and continuous control of flying insects.

Like two previous Reviewers (one after I bought), the bug zapper has already failed. I ordered it on Jul 19, 09, and by Aug 19, 09 it had already failed. Considering shipping and time to connect, I got 20 to 25 days of service -- that's a $1 a day. To add insult to injury, the price has now dropped too.

Don't buy it, even at its new discounted price!!!

Do not buy this product. The only good review of it is clearly from a person who is LYING. They are probably the seller of it lying to make it seem better than it is.

Proof they are lying? Try searching anywhere on the net for what mosquitoes are attracted to. They are NOT attracted to UV like the person claims. There is no way the zapper could have done what they claimed it did.

Mosquitoes are NOT attracted to UV light, this is fairly common knowledge among those with slightly above average I.Q.s, and anyone who has turned on their TV to watch Discovery Channel.

"These traps are not effective at killing biting insects (female mosquitoes and other insects), being much more effective at attracting and killing other harmless and beneficial insects. A study over a summer found that 13,789 insects were killed, of which 31 were biting insects.[6] Mosquitoes are attracted to carbon dioxide and water vapor in the breath of mammals, not ultraviolet light."
