A Portable Mosquito Bug Zapper for Backpacking? - Enkeeo Mosquito Zapper Lantern Review

[@OsoCrazyDeals]

The led light is what makes these worth it. The zapper is just a plus. It’s actually very bright on high and runs about 3-4 hours. Costco has these for a great deal!

[@CommonCentsOutdoorsman]

These work great inside small spaces as a room, tent, RV etc. I use it in my travel trailer to finish off the ones i could not suck up with the vacuum before bedtime... by the morning the remaining pests have somehow found their way to a shocking doom! It works and the charge does last a long time.

[@Bugg...0_o]

How long does it last just using the bug zapper part?

[@CommonCentsOutdoorsman]

@@Bugg...0_o should get you by 3 nights as far as I remember.

[@christhayer725]

I've had this for 2 years and it's a lifesaver. I'm highly allergic to mosquito bites and even with bug repellant I would get nailed. The combo of my repellant bracelets and this lantern has allowed me to be outside in the evening. We just got done with Skyping our grandkids and because it's so hot in the house we did it outside. Nary a bug bite.

[@a2002zx2driver]

I’m allergic to any kind of bug bite. A single mosquito bite can grow up to 3 inches round and an inch thick

[@MWDAdventures]

I got about 3 hours with it all on for playing cards it worked great under a tailgater awning. Recharge overnight back in business.

[@MrHatetheplayer]

good for inside a tent, you always get 1 or 2 of the bastards when you unzip to go in or out for those nightime beer pisses. the only buzzing you'll hear is a fried bug and not that signature sound in your ears when you're trying to sleep! haha!

[@katalinseaton9817]

Thanks for the great video, I needed to know how to clean it out as it certainly worked last night. Great job.!!

[@ericmccord]

I love this light. I use mine on the inside of my big net of my hammock

[@KurtElliott]

I guess Wisely bought them out, I picked up a two pack at Costco today, I picked them up for my mountain bike!

[@mobiltec]

I love the idea. Right now I'm on a spending freeze though so I put it on my wish list. When I do buy it I'll get it through your channel though.

[@JBC_cat]

I love this lantern. I mainly use it for the lantern aspect. It is bright and lasts for ever, The bug zapping aspect is alright for in the tent to get any stray skeeters. I have had mine 2 years now and its pretty tough. Takes a beating. The rubber cap saves it from all kinds of falls.

[@shayinla1942]

I have 2 of these on my inclosed patio and they work really well! I like using the light too.

[@garyhayes5751]

Same!

[@mauricerabbat6661]

Hi Thanks a lot, that's one of the best presentations I've ever seen Well prepared and very knowledgeable Regards

[@lej6550]

Mosquitoes are most attracted to carbon dioxide. That is what they use to catch mosquitoes for the diagnostic labs and monitoring for Zika and west Nile. The light attracts mostly others bugs besides mosquitoes.

[@ronwould8700]

Mine zaps mosquitoes by the gross mate.

[@silentpaw]

Oh thank you so much for showing me this. I live on the Gulf Coast, and camping here from about Mat to September is a mosquito nightmare. And the fact it kills gnats too is great.

[@ketchuph8r]

even houseflies get in there!

[@chrishenry571]

Looks like a good way to make sure the few that make it into the bug net don't bug you!

[@suziehudson8398]

Thanks for showing how to rinse it.

[@KennethKramm]

Would love to see a field test!

[@BirdShotIV]

Excellent review Sintax, these look decent after your video

[@NoTrail]

Bought it! I hope your happy! : )

[@lfalecorel]

well made video with good information, subed

[@ColHunterGathers]

Mosquitoes and most biting insects do not use ultraviolet light to find their victims. CO2 traps work but not portable. Treat cloths and gear with permethrin, use deet on un covered parts and add citronella sticks up wind to keep them away. Worked great in Panama jungle.

[@ronwould8700]

These kill a significant amount of mosquitoes, I have 2 of them.

[@Itsme83.]

Got one for $5 and it works for a small space like a tent or an RV.

[@DonnyDump]

Is quarantine a problem for travellers? Would need to seriously clean off the bugs.

[@hikeeatrepeat9768]

I just ordered one and I am going to test this baby out here in Georgia. Thanks for the review

[@hikeeatrepeat9768]

I field tested in my hammock and it did not attract any mosquitoes. I had several on me and the light was hanging from my ridge line and no mosquitoes were attracted at all. I am returning to Amazon.

[@Gadgetguyaddict]

Great review. I'm getting one of these

[@lindsaymezadoo2020]

Awesome vid and answered all but one of my questions.. If it went flat could you still use it while charging off something like a portable power bank or something similar? Kind regards Lindsay

[@wasptube1]

I am thinking about getting a newer model of this in the UK, not worried about mosquitos especially as those mosquitos probably got caught trying to get a non human meal, but the UK has Thousands of flies, moths, small black beetles etc and if these zappers work well for that then it's worth it.

[@clone1137]

Can you charge and use the device at the same time?

[@nickj409]

Seems to do absolutely nothing to catch mosquitos in the several weeks I've been using it. Great as a lantern though, but that's not why I bought it

[@toptensviewerschoice5204]

I bought one to as it had good reviews..... Mine hasn't caught a single one yet and yet they are in my bedroom!

[@joeldavis2640]

Good vid. Wondering how it would work best for bugs with light on and zapper, or just zapper

[@fjdkfdfjdf33]

It collected a few bugs, but did it keep the bugs away from you?

[@samsmith8870]

Good review, I'm very curious to see how effective it is in the field being as it's so small. Big question, does it run while charging? It would be nice if they made one that lost the battery (or perhaps even the lamp) and just added a long cord to run off a power pack to save weight. Just a thought. Cool idea though

[@ssiewnad]

Like Ken I'd love to see a back woods field test.

[@winkhvac62]

need one for my next trip to the white mountain

[@AdamCraigOutdoors]

Rechargable is great but doubt it works all that well. Maybe the odd bug or two but not in the northern areas.

[@ronwould8700]

It kills a significant amount of skeeters. I have 2 of them.

[@uptrail7169]

Good multi use light and still lightweight. It should help get rid of a few bugs. Are you still having problems with adds? I didn't get any adds with this video.

[@sintax77]

No content issues with this one, according to their notification system at least. The manual review on the last Costa Rica vid seems to be cleared up now as well.

[@uptrail7169]

I just watched your add for this video. It may take a few minutes after going public.

[@azcolby40]

If there was heavy bug zapping would that shorten the battery life

[@sintax77]

Excellent point.

[@azcolby40]

sintax77 as I absolutely hate mosquitoes this product would be of interest to me

[@hikeeatrepeat9768]

Does not work. I received it today and I tested in my hammock hanging from ridge line and it didn't attract anything at all. I on the other hand was getting eat up by mosquitoes.

[@samsmith8870]

Didn't think it would. Doesn't seem large enough to do much esp with a food source so close by. The full sized ones will clear out a small area like a deck but not so much you're already out there. I'm sure it's no substitute for spraying the hammock with permethrin at any rate. That works great. Wish I'd known that last year lol.

[@teddythefourth2831]

I'm thinking it would only work at night if it uses light to attract them. I bet this would work great inside a tent

[@ketchuph8r]

i didnt realize it could be rinsed!! 😮

[@gabysanders197]

Great review! Does this help with regular houseflies?

[@Chaucerfaux1]

Quick question, on the charge time, are those based on a 1.4 Amp charge or the 2.4 Amp? Because those could very well alter the three hour charge time.

[@ronwould8700]

Did you test it with only the zapping apparatus running to see if they were attracted? Maybe you mentioned it and I missed it...?

[@sintax77]

Funny you ask, I just packed this about an hour ago for an upcoming car camping trip. Yes, it attracts them with just zapper on. That's how I mostly run it.

[@Stormprobe]

I can’t stop looking at the dead bug.

[@hemandestroyall]

You forgot mention if you touch the wire you zap chock your finger.

[@Sarahdrybones]

how do you clean it

[@tweetsfromthetrail393]

Do you ever do overnight hikes anymore?

[@sintax77]

+Tweets From The Trail Yes.

[@thatmexicanguy89]

What the range on it does it have one ?

[@bpflyfish]

Hi there just wondering if u can change it on a portable charger or do u need to charge it on the mains.

[@tonywallin468]

welli just returned one that didny want to charge

[@bradgoliphant]

I can't find if for sale anywhere

[@courtt1980]

Aldi has the same one for $12.99 right now. Just diff brand name!

[@DanielFCutter]

I’m a little miffed that we didn’t get to see it used! After all it is a bug zapper. A disclaimer of “no bugs were zapped making this video” would have been nice.

[@tinahsieh656]

這個很棒，我喜歡

[@kuehnel16]

Bought the harbor freight version and it sucks

[@RabidMortal1]

Snake oil. Part of my day job is actually in mosquito control and things like these are garbage. If they worked we'd be fielding them in Africa right now.

[@ColHunterGathers]

Yep. If true then you'd find lots of mosquitos buzzing incandescent lights which they don't. Zappers kill moths and other light attracted insects. Not many bitting or pesty insects.

[@Ch33no]

RabidMortal1 What do you recommend? Good old fashioned deet? This thing reminds me of the 80's.....

[@NoTrail]

I recommend sleeping indoors

[@ronwould8700]

Nope, I got 2 of them and they slay mosquitoes.

[@drsnapid]

Mine catches mosquitos.

[@petegaskell4274]

Great review, thanks! Picked one up today for my RV as those bastards seem to love me :(

[@steveni.7757]

These are a scam. They do not work and if you take the discount, it voids the money back guarantee. DO NOT BUY ONE!!!!!!!

[@a2002zx2driver]

$14.95 at Walmart

[@shaygold943]

👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍

[@Ranger24]

Another hand video...

[@prasannamishra6818]

Oh no , you weighed it with the mosquitoes.

[@DennisMathias]

So this ATTRACTS mosquitoes?! Wouldn't you want to do the opposite? In an enclosed area it might over time be beneficial. But out in the open..meh.

[@bluemntceltic2]

Bug zappers do work, just can be over whelmed by the enormity of insect populations. So I ordered this as an aid to cleaning up those pesky insects that get in the tent or RV. We'll see how it works. Sintax did demonstrate that it did collect a few insects. If it does attract insects from a distance then logic dictates that you hang it away from where you are, or between you and the source if you can locate it..... like the pond, puddle etc. If you're dealing with snow melt mosquitoes then my proposed strategy might not be as effective.

[@velocity800]

“Back Country” he’s talking about Asian countries. Bad remark!

[@jondearaugo8360]

bat country he said

[@toejamr1]

Gimmicky

[@adventureswithfrodo2721]

Dumbest item ever.

[@MIAMIC70]

No USB-C in 2022 is a deal breaker
