Aspectek 40W Electronic Bug Zapper – Wide Coverage Insect Killer, Mosquito, Fungus Gnat, Moth and Fly Trap with Powerful UV Light for Indoor Use

Well, the bugs finally stopped pouring into my house/shop now that it's finally getting colder out but... Covid 19 is unfortunately still in. I don't have it and never had but I think part of that is due to the precautions I take. Wear my mask whenever I leave the house, wash my hands well and often and... sanitize everything once I get back home (from going grocery shopping, etc). Yes yes, call me a germaphobe or whatever but I'm getting older and I'd really rather not get this virus. I also have my loved ones and friends to consider - so if I feel like taking extra precautions that's my prerogative :) Couldn't hurt! Anyway, because I was tired of using Clorox wipes to wipe everything down (wallet, credit cards, cash, keys, etc) every time I got back home - plus Clorox Wipes don't do amazingly well with my fabric wallet and are quite tedious with things like keys - I decided to take a different approach and turn this bug zapper into a sanitizer!... since it uses powerful UV lights :) I knew that UV light kills as much if not more bacteria than soap! So... I got right to work on this little, multi-level sanitizing box (see photos). I knew that it'd need to be reflective - to reflect light in all directions to cover the objects with UV light from every angle - so I took a fire blanket (highly reflective aluminum sheet) and laid it out. Then found a box that would work well, took that apart and laid it flat on the ground. Then I sprayed both the box and one side of the fire blanket with M3 spray glue and quickly stuck the two together - covering one entire side of the box with the fire blanket. After I pressed all of the aluminum fire blanket down onto the one side of the box, I put the box back together. I had some hard cardboard corners from a window AC I had ordered a while back and some plexiglass from another project I had worked on a while. The cardboard corners (after I cut them) worked perfectly for creating little shelves that I could set the plexiglass sheets on. I covered them in aluminum tape (so that they, too, would reflect the UV light) and then first stapled them and then aluminum taped them to the inside of the box (on one side). Then I set the plexiglass sheets onto those shelves and aluminum taped those on as well so they wouldn't slide whenever I moved the box. I repeated this process until I had 3 plexiglass shelves (btw I used plexiglass so the EV light could hit every side of the objects placed in there). Cut a little hold for the cord, aluminum taped the bug zapper to the box and BAM!... I now have a sweet sanitizing box!! Set objects in there for 15 minutes and they're fully sanitized! My researcher/lab worker friend even tested it ath the lab he works at for me! He used these little petri dishes and tested several little objects (that he had applied some kind of bacteria to) that had sat in there for 15 minutes and sure enough - he found less bacteria than some other objects he had cleaned with Clorox wipes and another set he had cleaned with soap. He already thought it would work though since they have a UV cleaner at his work as well. But hey, awesome that I was able to confirm that it does work :) Anyway maybe this can come in handy for someone else out there that needs to clean or sanitize objects! Hope it's helpful to someone out there!

This was one of my top purchases! Unbeknownst to me, I had a horde of nasty flies in my house, who seemed to be coming from a particular room. I bought this item, put it in the room on a counter, closed the door) and zip zap…flies be gone…uh…flies be zapped. GONE!! If you have a fly (or any bug) problem, buy this item, it is necessary! BTW, check under your sink…my flies were coming through a small area around the sink pipes. A small section of duct tape solved the problem.

The one. I have used it for years. Bugs are literally almost non existent in my giant home.

Four stars because it works great. One of the only ones that has killed phorid flies in my home en mass. The elements are spaced close enough for small flies and it has high enough voltage to hit them hard(and loud). I removed a star because the built in ballast for these lights goes bad in about a year or two. I’ve had 3 fixtures and the ballasts always fail. Usually if a bulb goes out it’s not the bulb itself, but the ballast, so a replacement bulb dosn’t work. If you have phorid flies buy it. But be aware that the lights are bright and the noise is LOUD.

Life, tenacious yet fleeting, blossoms where it pleases, and comes as readily a gift as it does a curse. I was reminded of this as I beheld with bitter defeat the walls and floor and window of my basement claimed by the swarm, now the established abode of dozens of everlasting beetles bedecked in vermillion and black that crawled, day and night over carpet and ceiling, flitting about as they pleased, greeting each mammalian visitor with their tickling feet, as if to say "you don't belong here anymore, go back where you came from and forget this place you once knew." The swarm knew no number: as the Lernaean serpent that, upon tasting death, sprang forth anew with yet greater vitality, so too the horde that had claimed my basement continued, unnoticed, about its unknowable business, oblivious to my efforts to effect its extinction. Such trifles as diatomaceous earth, pump-sprayed soap water, or vacuum left no mark on its number, fading into memory as soon as I, their wielder, would cease my fruitless labor. And so the occupation continued, driving me, and certainly any guests I might hope to entertain, from my subterranean domain. That is, until I turned to the light. Its hollow purple gaze did not betray its strength. Not with the radiance of a thousand suns did shine this mighty one, but rather it sat, quietly, waiting. Beckoning, as if to say "you are strong, insect, but I am beyond strength. I am inevitable; I am the end, and as I have come for you, now come ye to me." And no sooner would one of the numberless legion descend upon its silver web than the silence would split with the snapping jaws of death and a yellow, flashing spark, and the entomoid challenger would curl, lifeless, giving up its spirit in a wisp of smoke, offering its flesh as acrid incense to the strange dark shine that had devoured it. I watched it take the first dozen or so, mystified, as the infinitesimal seeds of hope began to stir deep within me, hope that this strange one hailing from the fires of industry might somehow stem the bloom of vermin, and then I retreated upstairs, leaving it to its work. I had to go, as the thunderous cracks of golden plasma were causing my ears to ring, and I could see that my presence was not needed. For two days I left the light alone to its labors, until the sound of its snapping jaws had slowed to become occasional. And then I descended the basement stairs in a hush, to survey the carnage. And carnage it was: dozens, nay, hundreds of fried corpses lay in waves bathed in lilac radiance, and where once the crawling ones churned throughout the room indifferent to my displeasure, now they lay in the stillness of death, concentrated around their Extinguisher, some in pieces, to tread my walls no more. The light did not take all of them. Still I might find one here, two there, easily destroyed by hand. But the once-undying horde is now reduced to a decimal of its former terror, now a pathetic nuisance to be brushed away, and the basement is mine once more.

I got 2 units of this one yesterday, "6 March 2025" , My issue for now is that the description is wrong, "ASPECTEK - Powerful 20W Indoor Electric Zapper Insect Zapper for Mosquitoes, Flies, Moths, Mosquito Nets for Home, Restaurant, Office, Includes 2 Replacement Bulbs" There is no replacement bulbs, the 2 bulbs coming with the box is to be used directly as the zapper is coming without bulbs

Ante ka invasión masiva de mosquitos, es una buena opción para eliminarlos

The plastic was very poor and did not feel safe at all to ise or leave un attended, the plug was a cheap two pin and the electric fence was only on one side which means that you”ll need to place against a wall I would stongly recommend against this and for just a little more you are bet6er off with something that works, will last and is safe

Funciona excelente para uso interior, lo tenemos en la cocina cerca de la puerta del jardín, y ha reducido la cantidad de mosquitos en un 90% o mas, las mosca no tanto, tal vez redujo un 60%. Tampoco es barita mágica, no desaparece los moscos de manera instantánea, pero ayuda muchísimo al control.

Worst...Didn't worked for me .....Returned the item
