It do be zapping! This bug zapper has been working overtime for my needs in a rural location. It’s been a huge help in dealing with mosquitos and moths, and a myriad of other bugs that fly into it. I’ve learned a lot using it in this last month, and I’d implore anyone to pair it with a smart plug rated for outdoor usages, an extension cord, and the octenal lures for mosquitos, three of them. And then you’ll have a great zapping time, and need to clean it out every night like I do.
