Pure Garden Bug Zapper Review
This Pure Garden solar powered bug zapper works by luring mosquitoes in using light and then zapping them once they are close enough. This solar zapper is safe for humans and animals, which is fortunate, because it looks just like any regular solar garden lamp. Not only that, the zapper comes with two different lighting modes, which you can control using one simple switch. The bug attracting UV mode will make sure that all bugs come to this zapper not fly inside your home. While the super bright LED mode will serve also as a great garden lighting in addition to zapping mosquitoes, flies and other annoying pests.
Altogether, this Pure Garden solar bug zapper is an effective way how to get rid of mosquitoes fast and in large amounts. When the night sets in, you will find a lot of mosquitoes near lighting objects, so when using this solar zapper light the mosquitoes with focus on this light source and will be killed once they get near it. This zapper operates on solar energy, so you won’t have to spend money on electricity for powering this bug killing tool, but it also can be operated on batteries, if the solar panel isn’t able to fully charge the zapper during the day. The only downfall to this product would be that you will have to clean this zapper from time to time in order for it to work as efficiently as possible.

Solar bug zapper attracts mosquitoes with the eight LED light and are powered by either a battery or solar energy.

It is also possible to switch off the light sensor if needed.
Although solar bug zapper seems complicated to install, Sandalwood insect zapper setup takes a little effort.

BATTOP Mosquito Killer Review
BATTOP Solar bug zapper is equipped with four LED lights which are 1.9 X 3.9 inch in size. They attract mosquitoes, flies, bugs and other flying insects very efficiently. When the solar-powered bug zapper has lured the insects in, it kills them very fast with human safe voltage. The design of this BATTOP makes it completely safe around children and animals.
It is meant to be used on the ground or on the walls, and has an auto switch on and off when the gloom sets in the zapper will turn on and when the dawn comes will automatically switch off. But it can also be switched on and off with a button if needed. Also, this mosquito bug zapper can only be used outdoors, because in order to fully operate and be efficient it needs direct sunlight to completely recharge. But, for those rainy and clouded days, the producer has added a rechargeable battery, so that the BATTOP zapper would operate at all times, even when the weather is not sunny and clear.
Because of the rechargeable solar panel. BATTOP bug zapper is more ecologically friendly. And therefore it is quieter. Also, because of this solar panel, if the weather is fine and the sun is often out, the solar bug zapper will need little maintenance. From time to time bug zapper needs cleaning out from dead insects. Although it is very efficient and great at attracting insects, its working time is only eight hours, less than some other zappers have.

- Easily installed.
- Waterproof.
- Can be used indoors and outside.
What we don't like :

Eonfine Solar Zapper Review
The design of Eonfine mosquito and insect zapper is very similar to already mentioned BATTOP solar powered bug zapper, they both have a very innovative and modern design and are improved in efficiency. This insect zapper attracts mosquitoes, flies, and insects with four LED lights, catches them and kills the mosquitoes with an electric shock. It can be used only outdoors, as solar energy is necessary for zapper to operate, however, if you wish to set it up indoors it’s also possible, but then you would need to charge it up yourself.
Although it can be used during the day time, it works efficiently and will actually attract and kill insects during the dark hours of the day, because they will be searching for light sources only during nighttime. But if you leave it switched on during the day, it will catch few insects.
It is completely safe for yourself, your kids and pets, as the electric shock is harmful only to insects. Moreover, this device doesn’t require any chemicals or oils, therefore no toxic fumes and smells will be emitted into the air. Altogether, Eonfine solar bug zapper is the modern and efficient way on how to minimize the number of mosquitoes and different flies in your backyard and house.

KEN
WILL THESE KILL SMALL GNATS OR FRUIT FLIES?
Karen
Hi Ken,
Yes, bug zappers are known to kill fruit flies, small gnats and any other small insect that goes near the zapper. Many times zappers actually kill more of different pests than mosquitoes.
Best,
Karen
