Reclaim your evenings from mosquitoes
Stop swatting through every dinner. Plug in a UV lamp that draws flying insects away while you actually enjoy the night outside.
Simple UV light that draws insects in
- Draws insects with UV light
Many flying insects move toward UV light. The lamp gives them a brighter target than you, and the trap grid holds them. Results depend on placement and how dark the space is, so set it up away from other lights.
- No sprays, no smoke
There is nothing to apply, burn or refill. Plug it in beside the table and it runs without the smell of citronella or the film of spray on your skin.
- Plug in and forget it
It comes in white or black, so it sits quietly on a patio table, porch shelf or bedroom windowsill. Switch it on at dusk and carry on with dinner.
Where to place it for best results
- 1Pick a spot near your seat
Put the lamp a few steps from where you sit, not on top of you.
- 2Keep it away from walls
Open space lets insects approach from every side.
- 3Dim competing lights
UV works best when it is the brightest thing nearby.
- 4Plug in at dusk
Switch it on as the light fades and give it a few nights.

Questions and answers
It uses UV light to pull flying insects toward a trap. It works best in a dim space with the lamp placed near where you sit. Expect it to take a few nights before the catch builds up, and it will not clear an open yard completely.
It uses no sprays, smoke or fumes. Keep it on a stable surface out of reach of small hands and pets, and follow the manual that comes with it.
A standard bug light only glows. A photocatalyst lamp pairs UV light with a catalyst-coated surface to attract insects. We don't publish coverage or output figures, so judge it by what it catches in your space.
Put it a few steps from your seat, away from walls and other bright lights, and switch it on at dusk. Near the table beats right on it.
Sprays and candles are a recurring buy you have to reapply or relight every evening. This is a one-time plug-in unit with no refills, so the cost per night drops the longer you use it.
