Buying Guide: Choosing a Bug Zapper

Outdoor Bug Zappers
Black Flag outdoor bug zappers plug in and use UV light to draw mosquitoes, biting flies, wasps and moths into an electrical grid. Models are sized by coverage, such as 1/2 acre or 1 acre, and by wattage. The 40 watt model with 1 acre coverage is made for medium or large yards and includes a dusk-to-dawn switch.

Replacement Bulbs and Lures
Replacement UV bulbs come in wattages such as 4 watt, 15 watt, 40 watt and 65 watt, and the 65 watt bulb is made for the cordless lantern zapper. Replace bulbs annually to maintain optimum UV-LED performance. The octenol lure has a universal clip that can be used on bug zappers of all brands and releases for up to 30 days.

Handheld Racket Zapper
The indoor and outdoor racket zapper has 2750 volts of power and an LED light that shows when it is on. It runs on 2 AA batteries and is portable for use on the go or at home.
