Which Bug Zapper Is The Best?

All mosquito zappers are exceptionally bad at zapping mosquitoes, but exceptionally good at zapping all other insects that aren't biters, including some that eat mosquitoes. I stopped using one many years ago, for that reason.

I found a old sears bug zapper a few years ago at my grandmas house. I brought it home cleaned it up and let me tell you that thing would fry anything! It lasted for about 4 years until a locus got into it and it literally shorted out and fried the wires.

[@GrannyJo274]

Dude!!! We really needed to see you test that tennis racket zapper. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@JCWohlschlag]

Tennis racquet zapper absolutely works. I bought a two-pack from Amazon and use one any time I get see a flying bug that has landed on something in my place (usually the bathroom mirror). House flies seem to be too fast for it, or I just haven’t found an effective way to swat them. Bugs that don’t react super quick, though, it works really well. Most bugs other than house flies you can put the racquet right over top of them when they have landed on something and they will take off to fly away and zap themselves by flying right into the racquet. For any other bugs where the racquet does not work well, get a Bug-A-Salt.

[@atlasgunther8947]

for indoor use just use a strong shop vac, way more efficient

The wood background is perfect

[@b5maddog]

The grate helps prevent birds from directly into the zapper. Or in case of your toad from getting zapped.

[@jttech44]

You don't really want a bug zapper if you're looking to take care of mosquitoes, you want a lure trap. The good ones have the little attractant stink packet, and a UV light that hits a catalyst to create CO2, and a fan to pull the bugs into the trap and keep them there. There's only a few companies selling traps like this, but they really do work.

[@FightTheGoodFight.]

There's nothing more American than the sound of bugs being zapped on a summer's night.

[@Evanrs44]

We’ve had the traditional style one, the same one, for 30+ years and it still works. The fluorescent bulb, the zapper, all still works after 30 YEARS. It’s been on many car trips from home to camp over those years, it’s been dropped numerous times, and has had countless heads smacked off the thing and still works. I don’t know if any new one you can buy today would survive 30 years, but if the design stayed the same I think it could.

Tyler my message to you. Tyler everyone obviously won't ever forget the iconic and original Garage background, but since you did change it here is my input. I love the wood look, but the plan wallpaper looks good also, when it is just the plan wallpaper there is a lot of echo. When the wood is up the echo is gone. Imo, the wood looks the best. But whatever is easiest for you. P.S. u are my favorite review channel on KZbin. 🙂

[@embroiledalive5232]

I agree that the wood LOOKS GOOD, but it seemed to me that Tyler blended into the wood. Not enough contrast between Tyler and the stained wood. Maybe if Tyler was in a bathing suit so that it was his white skin against the wood... We would see him better?

7:50 this is the biggest unintended side effect when I also used a bug zapper: it zapped a bunch of bugs but also attracted hundreds of beetles, then instead of a having a gnat/mosquito problem, I had to deal with hundreds of those large beetles around my house! most of them were lazy and stupid and just ended up dying in place and caused a mess.

[@robertstanton959]

Beetles are seasonal. They don't call them June bugs for nothing.

[@zsigzsag]

Here in Central, FL, there are zillions of lizards and geckos especially during summer. They get in the house more than bugs do, harmless tho. I'd kind of feel bad if these devices zapped lizards going after the bugs.

[@Fetidaf]

@@zsigzsagI never really minded the lizards tbh… if there were a lot maybe I would but it was just every now and then you’d look in your closet or whatever and just be like “oh, hey buddy… didn’t mean to disturb you, carry on” kinda thing.

If you have flying insects indoors, I recommend the Zevo plug in traps, they work well, with no mess. They use a sticky trap that pops out and easily replaced

[@NomdePlume337]

Yeah, I don’t know if the one I had was Zevo brand but it was a plug in light with a sticky board to catch bugs and it worked amazingly. I tried using the little pots of chemical that attracts bugs for like 2 weeks and they worked a little but after about three days with the sticky plug thing all the bugs were gone

[@eclectichoosier5474]

The thing that worked best for me, in terms of mosquito control, was a bucket of water sheltered by a little roof... and all of the surfaces on the inside were coated with DDT. Mosquitoes are attracted by the water, land on the shaded area under the roof, and die. Then they fall in the bucket. Never noticed any larvae. Not sure whether the DDT killed them or the mosquitoes never got to lay eggs. Either way, at the end of mosquito season, there was a lot of bug sludge in the water. DDT isn't easy to get (I had to make it) but I used less than a gram, in total. Next time, I may put a catch-screen over the water to see how many of what kind of insects get caught in it.

I bought one recently that comes with a "photocatalyst lamp" which is actually far more effective than any of the others I've tested. It has a titanium dioxide coating that produces a small amount of CO2 and attracts bugs very well. The problem is that the hardware store is only selling regular replacement bulbs, instead of the new "photocatalyst" bulbs. So when the included bulb burns out... 🤷

[@markm84]

I have those. They are a pain in the rear to clean. I switched them all out for real bug zappers. 20 watt and or 40 watt bug zappers with two uvb tube bulbs and much easier to clean, same as the solar but stronger, it's corded.

i don't need to worry much about bugs outside my house, because around it i got bats, crows and sparrows, so they do a good job at getting rid of most bugs. it's more the issue when the bugs manage to get in the house, and for that i have a zapper that's shaped like a tennis racket and i hit them once, it makes the loudest crackling ever and the bug is fried

[@Braxel_]

I think removing the grill helps with the light being seen from all angles. I have one that had the grill and it barely attracted any bugs until i took out the grill and it started doing its job much better.

[@AtomSquirrel]

We had so many bugs I’d have to go out every day and clean the bug zapper with compressed air. Otherwise, it wouldn’t kill anything. It would be a rain of gnats, mosquitos, and moths. Made no difference to our bug ecosystem, they’d all be back the next night. Of course, we lived on the Bayou. I mostly just wanted to clear the ones around on the front porch which was 175 feet from the bayou as opposed to the back which was just 100 feet. My thing was we couldn’t use the front door because all of the bugs would collect around it. My solution besides the bug zapper was to use a fan with a remote outlet to blow the bugs away before opening the door. That did pretty well and is the method we use for our current home

[@Nighterlev]

Use both, bug zappers will reduce the surrounding population. Mosquitos are hard to get because they're attracted by carbon dioxide, and specific bug catchers exist for mosquitos.

[@AtomSquirrel]

@@Nighterlev I guess my secret super hero power is carbon dioxide because man do I attract a lot of mosquitoes

[@Aw_tig]

It might be useful to have things outside your front door that deter the bug, there are certain scents that they hate, such as peppermint, eucalyptus, lavender, lemon, vinegar. Some people put certain plants around and there are many things sold that are infused with the scents and you can hang them up, or you can but the essential oils and soak cotton balls with them. Maybe it will help I’m not sure.

[@lordcorgi6481]

[@maeverobertson1108]

I had one of the ones that you like so well. And it was pretty good. However I have a doggie door from the house to a patio and at the time I was rescuing greyhounds. Greyhounds are very nervous dogs and every time it would zap a bug and they were on the patio they made a mad dash for the doggie door. I now have a basset hound and I don't know how he would feel about it however my biggest concern is getting flies in the house and I found on Amazon a bug zapper shaped like a tennis racket that you charge and I have found it to be very effective. it sizzles and pops every time I get one (and I rarely miss). Doesn't bother the basset hound either.

[@mrnlce7939]

Although the solar one wasn't the best it was the most convenient. Would just fill my yard with the solar ones and clean them out with a leaf blower. You should try the Australian hat with corks dangling from the brim to see if keeps the bug away from your face. Great video. Keep up the good work.

[@embroiledalive5232]

Tyler, they make specialized traps for mosquitos. They are based on the emissions of carbon dioxide (which is what we emit and why mosquitoes land on us)--not light. So you have the wrong machines to kill mosquitos. Mosquitos are attracted to UV light but not as much as carbon dioxide.

[@MartyInLa]

I have the solar style zapper except it's just electric and the lightbulb style I use for in the house. I have never killed a single bug with lightbulb in well over a year. The grid one zapped it's first bug in like one second . Recently it's been zapping some nasty wasps which take a lot to kill, sounds kind of crazy, so I'm pretty happy with it.

[@countryfriedgamer15o]

Leave it to Tyler to make a video of bugs getting zapped. I actually had that light bulb zapper and I didn't think it was that bad. Quite a few bugs got in it and died until it just quit working all together. I don't recall it costing very much, maybe a little higher than a pack of light bulbs. I mean for a little more than a pack of light bulbs you get one light bulb that also kills bugs doesn't seem that bad of a deal to me. I think the idea is good especially if you have a porch light like we do that's right outside the door. You try to open the door and bugs try to fly into your house. By it killing them right by the door not as many try to fly inside. It's certainly not the greatest by any means but can you really expect much from something that goes in a light socket. I was surprised given it's limitations how many bugs it was able to catch. It's obviously not adequate to be a main bug deterrent but I think it's a good supplemental deterrent.

[@The_Slavstralian]

That zapper with the fan is nuts. the way the zapper works is it has 2 grates one positive and one negative, as the bugs bridge that gap it gets zapped. The one with the fan didnt look like it had 2 separate spirals of wire. it looked more like 1 and maybe it just gets really hot so the bug gets fried rather than zapped which would also explain the melted bits.

[@halfcirclehranch6877]

Something I found years ago which was interesting, was that the early white LED's repelled insects. While out camping, I'd turn on a light, and bugs would head straight for it. Then as they approached, I would shine my LED flashlight at them, and they would fly away as fast as they could. It doesn't work with more modern white LED lights, however. However, what I'm thinking about the light bulb bug zapper is that it uses the old style LED's that repel insects.

Hey Tyler! You mentioned that you have an issue with mosquitoes and I was looking into this extensively for a while as-well. I found that normal Bug Zappers normally dont target the bugs that bother us the most especially mosquitoes since mosquitoes are attracted to Carbon Monoxide.
