It’s an unfortunate side effect of hanging outdoors: Bugs are everywhere. Mosquitoes, gnats, flies and their ilk all have a funny way of showing up exactly when you’re trying to kick back and relax. Their hovering and buzzing and swarming is annoying enough … but then they swoop down and bite, leaving you itchy and aggravated. With the official start of summer days away, you may already have seen a lot of these alfresco scourges. If not, don’t worry — they’re coming. Would you like to avoid a summer spent slathering on icky insect repellent and/or cortisone cream? Try a bug zapper. Would you like to score a killer unit at half price? Try this bug zapper!
The Klahaite uses blue-violet light to attract mosquitoes, gnats, flies and more, before taking them out — so you can enjoy your time outdoors.

Why is this a good deal? 💰
The first official day of summer is still a few days away, so now is the time to take advantage of deals like this so you can save before demand — and prices — increase. This zapper is 50% off. That puts it on par with (or less expensive than) a lot of other options on the market.
Why do I need this? 🤔
The Klahaite Bug Zapper lets you take out all manner of flying fauna without the use of pesticides. It uses blue-violet light to attract mosquitoes, gnats, aedes, midges, moths, flies, fruit flies, wasps and pretty much any other flying insect, before delivering a fatal shock.
It can cover up to 2,100 square feet, making it far-reaching enough for just about any patio, garden or yard, and it’s way simple to install: You can hang it on a tree or plop it on pretty much any flat surface around your house; then, just plug it into a 120-volt outlet, flip it on and let it get to work. There’s a built-in removable tray at the bottom for easy cleaning (and insect carcass disposal).
This zapper is waterproof, so you don’t need to stress about leaving it outside. Not only that: Got fruit flies? You can use it inside too!
If the thought of all this electrified extermination’s got you worried about safety, don’t: The device has a protective cage to shield people and pets from shocks.
What reviewers say 💬
More than 4,600 Amazon shoppers rave about the Klahaite bug zapper.
Pros 👍
One homeowner said that this thing is seriously bad news…for bugs. “Works amazingly,” said a five-star fan. “Kind of scary how many it kills.”
Consider this testimonial from a satisfied shopper: “I stopped hanging out in my yard because of mosquitoes (don’t want to use chemicals), so I decided to purchase this. We threw a backyard party recently and not one bite. Not one person complained about them! We got our yard back.”
If you hate bugs with the fury of a thousand burning suns, then this is the gadget for you. “If you like the satisfaction of hearing a zapping sound on every slightest contact, this is for you! Just knowing that the bugs are being drawn to this machine and not around me is worth every zap-popping sound!”
Cons 👎
You might not want to use this is an enclosed area. Fried skeeter isn’t a popular perfume choice: “Yes, the smell isn’t the best if you use it in close vicinity of where you’re gathering (in my case, near the patio/fire pit area), but I’d rather smell “fried” critter than wind up with tons of bug bites!”
And while you might get satisfaction from the sound of deep-friend blood-suckers, your four-legged friends might not. “The only downside is my dog gets scared when it makes a zapping sound and runs back inside.”
Just plug it in wherever you need coverage. It can offer protection for up to 2,100 square feet!
