Aspectek Indoor Bug Zapper In Action - Full Test & Review

[@johnsteward8325]

Some how 100 flies managed to get in my kitchen and with each popping sound, my smile grew wider. Good video.

[@MobileDecay]

Did you count each one to make sure there were really 100 of them exactly? If not I don't believe you. 😁

[@TheDorianTube]

I had hundreds of fruit flies as well. I had to clean the tray after one night, it was fully covered lol

[@TheDorianTube]

Well it lasted 1 month before dying. Don't buy this lol

[@BobJacobson]

This Zapper works well. But when you go to change its UV tubes, remember: the interior grids retain a powerful charge for up to two hours after you turn off or unplug the Zapper. I didn't know that and got quite a shock in the process! As the exterior grids are held in rather lightly, if one of them is in contact with an interior grid, the same thing can happen. So be careful, always turn it off and then wait a couple hours to mess with it. Lastly, the power cord's short. You'll probably need an extension cord to reach the nearest outlet.

[@OneManOnFire]

After a few hours how do you go about cleaning it? Do you use a old plastic toothbrush? Does it have a funky smell or heat(flammable)?

[@asdfasdf-fg5kx]

Prospective buyers: Don't buy this thinking it can be placed near where you're sleeping. Even a tiny gnat getting zapped makes a loud pop. But it definitely works and I love hearing them in the other room getting zapped! :)

[@andrewk8636]

Wym? That helps us sleep lol

[@TheDorianTube]

Maybe I'm a heavy sleeper, but I have it next to my bad. Never had any issues, and in the morning I get greeted by dozens of corpse that usually wouldn't let me sleep. hahahah

[@tribefenatic]

i put pieces of food next to mine somewhere in the house, and it's been non stop bbq'd flies all day. Loved hearing this thing working.

[@ChrisDIYerOklahoma]

Good video...I bought one and just set it up. Wow...loud zapper! Cats are pissed...but, they will get over it. I also have two Flowtrons...messy! They work so well at killing and zapping...leave debris under them. The Flowtron literally cooked a big bug, a small flash of light, smoke, sizzle, a crack. It was amazing...had a bug zapper as a kid in the 70s. Always loved them.

[@xino_z]

Chris DIYer lol "cats are pissed" really made me laugh

[@shahtabanis4310]

How do I set it up ?

[@ZERONEINNOVATIONS]

I bought one for $23. it was ebay cheapest one. I turned on the switch in my kitchen, 10 mins later, it already caught/killed 5 house flies. Works amazing. Highly recommend! I've used fly tape in the same kitchen too. 5 flies/1week.

[@mikem4432]

seeing this zapper zap bugs is more entertaining than watching cable

[@groveavenue]

I have one of these in my kitchen and it is just wonderful. The insects just can't help flying to those delicious blue lights and when they do - they're dead. Sometimes, it make such a noise when a bug meets his/her Maker that I can hear upstairs (one floor above). Our cook is highly impressed; it zaps mosquitoes and flies. Well done!

[@jamescollins6085]

Never use these in the food preparation area of the kitchen, because these can blow the insects to pieces and they can be scattered all over the food. If you must use it in the kitchen, locate it somewhere where food is not kept.

[@_dollar_sign]

@@jamescollins6085..makes the food more delicious 😋

[@randallbenson9475]

man Mmm...mmm! Delicious bug meat and juice. Alot of protein. Lol🍺

[@BaadBadBoy]

I just found out that it retains zapping power minutes after it's turned off and unplugged. ...so, not a good idea to scrape bugs off with a screwdriver after unplugging it. I'm not saying I did that but just saying it's a bad idea lmao!

[@grahamnumber7123]

That made me laugh thumbs up form me..it could be me (the screwdriver). Even if i understand capacitace it's one of those moments you don't forget so easily :-) but think DOAH I should have known that would happen :-)I'm looking for a wasp and fly killer but i'm not sure all insects are drawn to UV light..researching now.. Wasps genuinly hate me (even if i try to stay calm and let them fck off in their own time, it doesn't work) - the feelings are mutual. ...and flies! also ruin an outdoor BBQ (as BBQ's normally are but you get the idea - eating outside with the kids then flies landing on plates, swarming around the area - hardly relaxing.I hate them both (bees no problem, even moths aren't a big pest)Beer and BBQ sauce in a cup was great way to trap and drown 30+ wasps..they can survive underwater for about 1 minute ish (just some observasions made ;-)what is your exp of this zapper? MK3 version in my dreams could possibly get cats (Sorry if you have a cat- i did as a kid but the cats in my street sh!t n piss everywhere it's mental)

[@BaadBadBoy]

I've had it about 3-months or so and it works fairly well. Interesting "quirk" about it is that it's loud -- almost firecracker loud but not quite. Doesn't matter how small or large the insect is, it'll get zapped with the same level of loud PAP!!! Yes, even the small bugs get the big bang. I use a vacuum cleaner to clean it off in the mornings because I noticed that if I leave moths or whatever on it, then it decreases the zapping power. Don't have any bees or wasps that get into the house so I don't know if it will attract them but I'm confident it would kill them. It's a cool little device; if I see a fly or something that got in through the door, then I just bring the zapper into the room and turn it on. It'll zap them usually within 1-to-3 minutes. Could it be better? Yeah -- it could be quieter when zapping tiny bugs, but it's not a big deal. It's a cool bug zapper.

[@dashcammer4322]

Plastic putty knife!

[@JohnBGibson]

I want to throw out that having a metal hanging system was a bad idea for this design. When you pull it down from a hanging position even if off, if that falls into the grill it will zap it....

[@JohnBGibson]

@@dashcammer4322 Plastic butter knife might be small too.

[@ryokoasakura9563]

I just want this trap to kill houseflies and mosquitoes, not really moths.

[@judgedredd8876]

Basically it mostly kills moths which pollinate many plants.

[@sherzieve2284]

I've had mine for over a year and it kills flies instantly. GREAT product!

[@danielh2553]

House flies?

[@BluAngel22]

I have one of these at work and everytime a fly lands on it I jump !!!

[@CadencePup]

Ive had one, it does kill but it's SO loud. I had to stop using it because it made my dogs cower in fear even when in the same room as it (and it gives me jumps too). You can really use it inside too because of how loud it is, good luck getting to sleep at night. Also the cord is RIDICULIOUSLY short, like maybe 2 feet. I'm trying to get a new one now that's quieter and has a longer cord.

[@karyz2016]

Try black and decker

[@janknudsen815]

Hi. If you want to trap mosquitoes. this device is not at all perfect. Mosquitoes are going for body smell and infrared light. It could be very interesting if you could exchange the UV lamps with infrared light and then add smell like shown in other videos here at youtube. You will need smell of carbon dioxide, maybe made by a mix of water, sugar and yeast. Then attraction mostly of mosquitoes and not other non problematic insects will be found. Best regards JANK

[@knathvideos3297]

already i made it but no use

[@pearljameric]

Would it work for flies? House flies I mean.

[@yellowbird500]

insectcop.net/why-mosquitoes-attracted-to-light/

[@StratTickler]

Simple mod to make more effective: It is not directly effective for gnats. They are too small to touch both electrodes. However, the biting gnats I have are very attracted to the light. Soooo..... The following 2 mods are effective: I put packing tape (sticky side up) on the bottom tray. They are attracted to the light and get stuck. Also, place a small dish of organic (living) vinegar and a few drops of unscented dish soap next to the unit. They swarm to the light and stop off for a short lived refreshment. Works great! You must use active living vinegar. The trick is this produces CO2, (basic store bought is less effective) . Braggs Organic Raw Apple Cider Vinegar works well.

[@Anonymous8317]

Just bought a Flowtron BK80 ….it’ll kill gnats even though they can’t touch both sides….big arcs from it.

[@TheDorianTube]

Gnats are fruit flies right? This things destroys them. I bought this just for those since I got invaded somehow. One night and the tray was full

[@bricksquad9552]

We have these HUGE ones at work and every time a fly gets zapped it makes the loudest pop you'll ever hear.

[@aprilcarter7089]

[@mgtowp.l.7756]

You sold me. I am going to order two from Amazon now. Thank you for sharing your video..

[@bilan16562]

My experience is that it doesn't work so well with mosquitoes. This light it doesn't attract them well, butterflies are more attracted to it. I have killed a lot of them in just one night. As you can see at the video only butterflies are going in.

[@PolarBear_Gaming_More]

Works great. I bought one prior to seeing video. It’s loud but rewarding

[@smaxwelluicedu]

Great product. We have a fly, fruit fly and moth issue it just bothers my conscience to explode insects into flames. I am keeping this and using it but looking for ways to prevent the insects from entering my home.

[@anyatnasir5683]

Guys I have installed this in my room but still mosquitoes biting me but not attracting towards mosquitoes killer. Please guide is it metre of installation point or intensity of lamp inside the mosquitoes killer or something else.

[@rc9266]

Good video! I got one of these months ago the loud zap had me jumping for weeks it is amazing!Today I unplugged the unit to replace the bulb and got zapped, Lol!! any Info on this please? I mean what if I has a pacemaker?

[@gokhangzd]

Capacitors could hold the electric in

[@le-ar]

no one ever talks about noseeums. if it works on mosquitos, does that mean it automatically work on noseeums as well, or no? what product can do mosquitos AND noseeums?

[@AhsanRocky]

does it work for mosquitoes ?

[@emeraldtabbycat148]

I'm also curious if it kills carpet beetles.

[@relaxation_therapy]

yea...was thinking to ask this...

[@MrJohnnyDistortion]

Kills moths but I ain't see it zap no skeeters. What up with that?

[@JohnBGibson]

It catches them only when they randomly get bored and fly into it. I had it set up for 6 months in a heavily infested area, it killed 2 or 3 during that time. If a mosquito finds any other thing to focus on, such as you are around breathing near this thing, the mosquito won't go anywhere near the zapper. The light is not really that interesting to the mosquitoes I have seen, a better approach is one that uses a gas attractant. If you could somehow set this up in front of a machine that did that, I am sure it would be very effective. I think this would work better if you just disable the lights and put a slow fan in front if it.

[@jayashreekrishna1822]

Is it works on bedbus

[@Bill23799]

Do they do well with House Flys?

[@jamesoliver505]

When you open your window perhaps you might try screens

[@rajgj7041]

Can that get mosqitos?

[@dashcammer4322]

I'll get one of these for the garage. When I have the overhead door open to drive in or out of the garage, a lot of times I shut the overhead door, and even though it was only open for a minute or two, there are now a couple of flies in my garage. Sometimes, it's hard to swat them or to open the door to get them out (because more can fly in). With one of these I should be able to leave the door shut, turn on the zapper, shut off the light and go in the house, leaving the zapper to do its job.

[@chuckbrown617]

My Aspectek unit self-destructed! Upon turning it on, one capacitor exploded (literally) on the ballast board for the lamps. It also took out one rectifier diode and a PCB mounted glass fuse with an unknown current rating. The other 3 caps need to be changed as well (bloated). The bulbs aren't carried locally, don't last long and aren't cheap.

[@Anonymous8317]

Why I’d recommend Flowtron. Built in the US, actually UL certified unlike Chinese zappers who may claim to be.

[@moomoopuppy5810]

Would you know what zapper works on those super small (1 mm^3) fruit fly or are they to small to get zapped...thanks!

[@TheFruityCookie]

Wanting to know this also. I got one of these to help with fungus gnats from my plant pots indoors but the wee buggers don't seem to be effected when they land on the grill?! Do they need to be big enough to bridge the gap between two rods? 🤔

[@vrdsinitiative3048]

does the Aspectek Indoor Bug Zapper work for normal mosquitos?

[@john-lenin]

The problem is getting replacement bulbs that don't last. The bulbs that came with it lasted two years. The replacements I bought lasted less than two months.

[@lafoniahamilton7806]

does it work on fruit flies? since there is no water or food involved?

[@ekim0513]

No, does not work well for fruit flies. I bought for that specific purpose and they just fly around inside and don't get zapped.

[@ekim0513]

I feel the same. Flys and mosquito s great...gnats.... not so much

[@anesh9775]

does it kill cockroaches too?

[@jimmatrix7244]

Does it kill bedbugs? Bedbugs tend to avoid bright light.

I have 2 of them. Honestly, the bulbs are too bright for indoor use in a house or apartment. You won’t be able to sleep if you have this running in the room at night. I have one in the garage and one on the back porch. I’ve had them for about 3 or 4 years. They WORK!

[@H4I2I2EE]

Is there one that works really well on the little fruit flies?

[@DeactivatedCharcoal]

The Aspectek doesn't have any transformer, everything is solid state (Caps hold the charge until a bug gets to close) Aspectek also is solid state power / ballast for the florescent lights. The Flowtron brand uses a transformer for it's Lights and it's Bug Grid. I have one of the big Flowtrons and yes it's a good zapper, but in addition to the tubes needing replaced there are 2 starter ballasts that may need replacing. This requires disassembly and you might need a service manual, I'm game. The Flowtron finally bit the dust when it's transformer overheated The lights work, but it just stopped zapping. The cost of replacing it's internal transformer was as much as getting a new one so I bought the Aspectek instead.

[@reaperx1202]

I just feel like I should mention. The whole point of having the bug zapper outdoors is that it draws insects to it. So having one in doors draws them inside. Unless they miraculously fixed that issue in which case how does it draw in the bugs to zap them?

[@amandarussell6764]

I have a terrible stink bug/lady bug problem. This thing works.....I mean it really, really works. However, I have to take mine down because it's catching like 30 stink bugs in a day and it's cooking them to the point that's it's creating bug dust. Also, they release that nasty odor when they get fried. I have been having an allergic reaction to the stink bug's odor and burnt bodies. But guys, this thing works incredibly well, it's amazing.

[@FusionDeveloper]

Unfortunately, the gaps in the grid of this zapper are fairly wide and i have watched many baby gnats fly through the grid unharmed. I think I've even seen them walking on a metal zapping bar unharmed. I will assume fleas would also be able to avoid being zapped due to their size. You may get lucky and zap a few, but I feel like a tighter grid pattern would be far more useful for fleas. Although I love this zapper, I want to find one with a tighter zapping bar spacing to get baby gnats. However, it wouldn't hurt to have more than 1... or more than 2 styles of zappers in your home.

I usually put a piece of sticky tape on the tray so the zapped half dead insect can’t crawl away when they fall to the bottom. I also put a piece of rotting meat and fruit. This attracts the irritating houseflies and fruit flies. Really cuts down the population.
