I studied Entomology about 4 decades ago and these were known to be useless back then yet they are still around doing damage to beneficial insects, especially moths. Just google "Bug zappers site:edu" and you'll find a lot of articles from university entomologist confirming they are useless at mosquito and other insects you may be wanting to control. Just another example what you find even from a article published 2 decades ago at Iowa St. "Insect electrocuter light traps, also known "bug zappers" have been extensively marketed for the past several years with claims they can provide relief from the annoyance of biting mosquitoes and other pests in your back yard. Their effectiveness has been widely doubted and a few studies have shown they are very poor at killing mosquito females (the sex that bites).
Now comes another study indicating black light traps are not only useless for mosquito, they are potentially harmful to the environment (and not just to the sensitive ears of neighbors trying to sleep next door). Results of a survey of insects caught in an electrocuter black light trap in Newark, Delaware indicate that nearly all of the insects caught are either harmless or beneficial. Pests, and especially biting pests, do not end up in the traps.
According to an article by Timothy Frick and Douglas Tallamy of the University of Delaware published in Entomological News [107(2): 77-82] only 31 insects out of 13,789 trapped and counted (0.22%) in a suburban setting over the course of an entire summer were biting flies. "Biting flies" includes both female mosquitoes and biting gnats.
The largest number of insects (6,670 = 48.4%) were harmless, nonbiting aquatic insects from nearby rivers and streams. These insects, of course, are a vital part of the aquatic food chain and are valuable "fish food." Another important group unfortunately caught in the traps were predators and parasites, that is, biological control organisms such as ground beetles and parasitic wasps that help keep insect pest populations naturally low. Predators and parasites accounted for 13.5% of the insects caught (1,868).
So how good are bug zappers? This study would indicate they are worst than worthless because of the large number of harmless and beneficial insects they kill. Extrapolations calculated by the authors indicate that 4 million bug zappers (4 years worth of approximated sales in the U.S.) operating for 40 nights each summer, would destroy in excess of 71 billion nontarget insects each year. And the number of mosquitoes would still be the same as before. It is clear you should save your money!"

You're literally attracting them to your house just to kill them, and the vast majority are harmless to you but beneficial to healthy ecosystems

All I know is it attracts June Bug beetles while my guests are trying to socialize so... Sorry to the entomologists, but health benefits or not, those stupid beetles need to stop flying in our face. Lol

Anyways I bought this unit similar to another recent SD deal so this type of zapper is obviously going to get pushed and they're all probably about the same performance...

With that said it's pretty damn awesome. The light itself is super bright but it also seems the zapped bugs harder than any zapper I've had before.

Last all night, even only charging partially throughout the day light.

I'm not going to preach to you guys if you need a bug zapper that's easier to place without a cord, these types are what you're looking for.

Apologize to the future generations, not the entomologists. "Sorry kids, but in the evening when I wanted to sit on the porch with lights that outshine the moon those confused bugs would huddle around, and rather than screen that space in I decided to kill them nonstop all night every night so I could enjoy a few minutes of nature occasionally without nature getting in my face."

I mock you as someone who is extremely allergic to bug bites and attract them more than anyone I know. Yet rather than go indiscriminately nuclear on them I simply stay away from their turf at certain times and dates of the year.

So many people questioning why their neighborhoods are devoid of insects when they remember a very different environment around their homes when they were kids.

Conservation isn't about animal rights, it's about humans' rights to inherit a sustainable planet.
