Although summer’s officially come to a close, our outdoor hangs are far from over. Given that the majority of us have barely even seen the sun since March, we’re still trying to keep our outdoor lives existing throughout the fall through bonfires, cozy sweaters and the most god-sent item of them all, heat lamps.

As we continue to congregate in friends’ backyards to sip a brew or two or seven (you do you), there’s still something we have to worry about that doesn’t involve catching a virus from your closest homies — bugs.

You might be thinking, “writer at SPY (it’s Tyler by the way, hi), bugs don’t stay out after summer!” Well, my friend, we don’t know where you’ve been during past falls, but yes, they do.

1. Loytio Bug Zapper

BEST OVERALL

Lure and kill both indoor and outdoor bugs with this hanging bug zapper that emits a striking 4,200V electric shock, ensuring it gets the job done with just one zap. Though powerful, it doesn’t waste electricity. In fact, it saves you up to 20% of electricity when compared to some other bug zappers. The zapper has the ability to last for over 30,000 whole hours, which is three and a half years of continuous use. When it’s time for clean up, the bottom half that collects dead bugs removes, so just dump, rinse and get zapping once again.

2. ZAP IT! Bug Zapper

MOST FUN

We love this bug zapper so much that we just had to write an entire story about it. We hate to say it because we kind of feel bad, but this thing is so much fun. Unlike the prior choices, there is zero luring involved with the ZAP IT! bug zapper. When you see one flying around nearby, simply hold the button down, swing and that sucker’s a goner. This bug zapper uses 4,000 volts to ensure each swing will be the first and last try for the bug you’re aiming to kill. The racket is safe to touch due to the exterior triple-layer safety mesh and because it’s only activated when the button is held down, so you don’t have to worry about any kids or pets getting harmed. There is a super bright LED light for night time usage that will help you detect bugs more quickly, too.

3. Aspectek Upgraded 20W Electronic Bug Zapper

BEST INDOOR/OUTDOOR

Having bug problems both in and outside of the house? Well, they’re no match for the Aspectek electronic bug zapper. Lure and kill flying insects in spots varying from your living room, bathroom, office or backyard and get the same results each time. It’s simple to install and either sits or hangs from a metal chain wherever you want to place it. There is a plastic, removable tray at the very bottom for when you need to clean out the dead bugs, too. Like our other choices, it’s also completely safe to touch. Note: if you’re choosing to use this bug zapper outside, make sure you don’t leave it out in the rain because it is not waterproof.

4. BLACK+DECKER Outdoor Bug Zapper

BEST LOOKING

The drawback of keeping a bug zapper in and around your house is that the majority of the time, they’re quite unsightly. Though occasionally some lighting fixtures can bring a certain level of ~ambiance~ to your home, sometimes it doesn’t help. Bug zappers are simply ugly. Thankfully, that’s not the case with this outdoor bug zapper from BLACK+DECKER. It has the same luring and killing capabilities any other bug zapper has but foregoes the unsightly exterior. This bug zapper uses a non-toxic UV light for luring and has an easy-to-clean pull-out tray when it’s time to rid all of them insect carcasses. This is the perfect bug zapping unit to leave outside your home for constant use or take on your next family camping trip.

5. GLOUE Bug Zapper Light Bulb

BEST BULB

Best Bug Zapper For Flies

Who would have ever thought that we’d be living in a world that could merge your average indoor ceiling lightbulb with the power of your go-to bug zapper? We never thought it was possible, but damn, we’re more than glad it is. If you have a serious bug problem inside that needs some extra attention, look no further than this bug zapping bulb. It’s designed with three different functionalities depending on your needs — a dual bulb and zapper-on option, a bulb-off and zapper-on option and finally, bulb-on and zapper-off option. Therefore, even if your bug issues cease, you can still use this bulb as a regular lightbulb in and around your home. When zapping, the bulb doesn’t trap bugs inside but instead releases them to the surface directly below through the slanted design in the bulb’s zap chamber.

6. Livin’ Well Bug Zapper

BEST WEATHERPROOF

Though this isn’t the only weatherproof option on the list, the Livin’ Well bug zapper is certainly the most impressive. You can choose to fully leave this zapper outside for years upon years and it will still work, no matter what the elements bring. Because it can sit in the rain and snow, note that it’s also flood-resistant, so water won’t pile up anywhere inside the unit. The zapper lasts for about 8,000 hours, which is almost a full year of continuous use. There is a hook at the top if you want to chain and hang the zapper, but the machine can also stand on its own on any platform. With a 1,500 foot range, bugs will be drawn in from near and far.

7. Wellgoo Electronic Bug Zapper

MOST AFFORDABLE

Looking for a bug zapper under $20 that’ll get the job done like any other bug-killing alternative? Then you need the Wellgoo electronic bug zapper, stat. Like the others, this zapper uses a UV bulb to lure in any oncoming interested insect only to immediately electrocute them upon arrival. Dead insects are collected at the bottom tray, so it’s easy to clean when needed. It’s great for indoor and outdoor use, but don’t leave it out in the rain. As one of our smaller options, it’s easy to bring on-the-go if your friend needs a little extra zappage for a barbecue or you and your family are headed on a weekend-long camping trip.

8. KATCHY Indoor Insect Trap

BEST NON-ZAP

Maybe your problem isn’t outdoors, but indoors instead. As the weather cools down, some bugs look for an escape indoors where it’s warmer and drier than outdoors. Meaning, if you have fruit flies, gnats or indoor mosquitos invading your home, look no further than this indoor insect trap from KATCHY. While the trap isn’t necessarily a zapper, it still uses UV light to attract nearby bugs in the home. Then, when the bugs get close enough, the machine works to vacuum the bugs and trap them inside on sticky glue traps.

9. Tuzeasa Mosquito Traps

COOLEST DESIGN

While we’re chit-chatting about non-zap bug “zappers”, we couldn’t leave out this futuristic-looking bug trapping design from Tuzeasa. Like the KATCHY, this bug trapper works to lure and vacuum bugs to make them latch onto an interior sticky trap, therefore, using zero zapping at all. It’s a super-powerful and very effective alternative to a bug zapper because of its alluring light source and 360-degree design. There are two functionality timers when leaving this machine on which are six and 12 hours long. When it’s time for cleaning, simply remove the bottom half replace the sticky trap with a new one provided in your set.

[Editor's note: September is hardly the time of year to publish an article about Bug Zappers... and between you and me, this was the first summer we can remember, when we did not complain about those nasty creatures that seem to like me the very best... However, this Paul Hetzler submission is a good one, and early or late it is never a wrong time to be thinking about being good to our birds.]

Kill the Bug Zappers

Bug Zapper To Make Slot Machines Hitch

To paraphrase Marvin the Martian, a cartoon character whose attempts to conquer Earth were always foiled by Bugs Bunny, “Zap first and ask questions later.” The little alien with the big Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator ray-gun was so jumpy that he zapped anything that moved. In the end, though, he never hit anything that could remotely be considered a threat.

Each summer, bug zappers are hung with care in millions of back yards, much to the delight of residents who imagine that the bright electric arcs and snappy sound effects mean that mosquitos and other pests are being vaporized. The truth is that bug zappers, which range in price from around forty dollars to well over a thousand, are less effective than Marvin the Martian.

To be clear, these devices massacre insects – something like 71 billion annually in the US – but according to a University of Delaware study, mosquitos comprise a mere 0.22% of the deceased. Bug zappers are consummately worthless for mosquito control.

But that’s not the real problem.

The snag is that insect-electrocution light traps are superb at killing beneficial insects which would otherwise be hard at work killing pests like aphids, sawflies, leafhoppers, thrips, deer flies, and yes – mosquitos. To connect the dots, bug zappers create more pests. The Harvard Medical School, on its Zika virus page (https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/what-you-need-to-know-about-zika-virus-201602019114), warns “Don’t buy a bug zapper. Studies have shown that these do not reduce mosquito bites, and may actually increase mosquito populations by killing off beneficial insects that prey on mosquitoes.”

I hesitate to mention that the majority of these pest-killing insects getting electrocuted are species of wasp, which is a scary word that doesn’t sound like it belongs next to “beneficial.” It’s like talking about “cuddly scorpions,” or “invigorating poison-hemlock wine.” But these are not like the wasps you’re thinking about. Beneficial wasps can be smaller than a fruit fly, and most of them make a house fly look big. To quote a University of Maryland fact sheet, “Beneficial wasps may be the single most important biological control method gardeners have.” Another selling point: they do not sting.

To summarize, bug zappers are pricey gadgets which burn electricity and heaps of beneficial insects, yet essentially fail to kill anything that bites people, while at the same time succeeding to make our lives more pest-ridden than they already are.
But that’s not the whole difficulty either.

A grievous complaint against these devices is that nearly all of the corpses which pile up under them belong to pollinators. Even the tiny helpful wasps mentioned above do their part to spread pollen around. Yet moths are disproportionately slain by backyard bug-toasters. These fuzzy flying machines are as capable as honeybees at helping flowers have sex, but we never think of moths as pollinators. That's probably because we neglect to go look at flowers in the dark. Moths are the pollination night shift, and they’re falling prey to the siren-shine of bug zappers.

However, that’s still not the whole problem.

Jon McCracken, who for 30 years was a Program Director for the nonprofit Bird Studies Canada, warned in 2009 that “The proverbial clock may well be ticking down on many common species of aerial insectivores.” Ornithologists agree that the reasons for fast-thinning insectivore bird populations are manifold, but McCracken believes the precipitous decline “seems to be pointing at food supply as the culprit. All these species rely on flying insects.”

Bug Zappers Indoor

Although a single mosquito in your tent is one too many, insect populations worldwide are in freefall. In 2017 it was reported that the biomass of flying insects in German nature reserves had fallen 75% since 1990. Puerto Rican ground insect numbers are only 2 percent of what they were 30 years ago, according to a 2018 article published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. And in 2019, the British Natural History Museum stated that a quarter of all insects could disappear in the next ten years.

Bluebirds, towhees, wrens, warblers, wood thrushes, white-throated sparrows, swallows, cuckoos, buntings, kingbirds and more stand to lose out as insect populations tumble. Bug zappers are not the primary culprit, of course. But they are impotent against mosquitos, undeniably increase pest populations, and contribute to the loss of insectivore songbirds. In light of all this, I propose we take a lesson from Marvin the Martian and stop zapping all the wrong things. Let’s ban bug zappers.
