The 9 Best Bug Zappers for an Insect-Free Summer

No need to worry about spending lots of time cleaning this bug zapper. Its non-clogging grid keeps buildup at bay.

This bug zapper is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. It's a lightweight, yet powerful zapper that can hang from its provided ring and chain or rest on a flat surface. It can even be mounted on the wall as a more permanent fixture. It utilizes a nontoxic UV light to lure in bugs and obliterate them in the blink of an eye. Once it's done its job, you can simply take out the removable tray to empty the insects collected at the bottom of the zapper.

It's simple to install and can be hung from an included chain via hooks or placed on a solid surface. It runs quietly and features a mesh screen to protect you and your family. Its self-cleaning electrical grid combined with the removable tray make it a breeze to clean.

If you have a big room to cover, this one can handle up to 1500 square feet (which makes it a solid outdoor bug zapper, too).

This hanging bug zapper's 40-watt light does a fantastic job of luring in pesky insects. Whether you're dealing with wasps, mosquitoes, or flies, it's an energy-efficient pick that looks nice and helps protect you against bites and stings.

Charge the zapper with a USB cord, and it can run for up to 12 hours, but if you're nowhere near an electrical source, that's okay, because a solar panel on the top of the unit keeps this one charged and working for as long as you need it.
