Yes. When plugged in, it comes on at night and goes off at dawn. It has a switch that allows it to be one day and night.

      How to clean?

      Answer This Question

      Use compressed air, a shop vac or vacuum that can blow air. The electric grid getting covered with bugs depends where you live and the season. The unit will continue to zap bugs until they are no long making contact with both electric screens.

        How effective is this for swarming termites?
        ByMay 21, 2026
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        The bug zapper zaps flying insects. There are some termites that fly but most don't have wings. The zapper has two electrical grids that the insect has to be in contact with to get zapped. I wouldn't purchase this device to deal with termites.

          Easy to install. Plug n play. U shaped UV bulb doesn’t emit bright light for indoor applications. (Unfortunately indoor plants can attract flying insects.)

          My Honest Review
          After nearly three years of continuous indoor operation, my unit failed. In the product's defense, regular cleaning with compressed air is crucial. A buildup of dead insects on the grid, indicated by continuous zapping, can stress components beyond their limits, potentially leading to burned resistors and swollen capacitors. You are welcome to draw your own conclusions.

            This has worked well for me
            This has worked well for me for the 5th season this year, I’ve kept mine out of the weather most of that time like it hangs on the front porch (covered roof) and doesn’t get rained directly on but it has preformed as to be expected and dose a good job killing many bugs . I think I paid not quite 60$ at the time and I was kinda hesitant but Im glad I purchased it, its sadly a bit entertaining after a few drinks- with the well worth the money I spent years back. Fargo.

              Bad buy
              I live in Ellis county Tx and I really needed one and when I was finally able to purchase one, I saw this at Home Depot, marked down from $80 to $50 and I was super happy because I thought it was a great buy. Sadly, I rarely heard it zap anything . I never took it back because I threw away the box and the lights immediately come on. Worst mistake ever. It just does not work. No zapping noises. No bugs around it. I had such high hopes. Bad bad buy for me. In pic, it looks blue but it is a pretty neon purple.

                Very pleased
                Efficiently dispatches yellow jackets and mosquitoes. The power of this execution device is so strong that all of the yellow jacket remaining is the thorax. Attached is the results of my first batch of yellow jacket body bits (– the mosquitoes are vaporized). Whah ha ha!

                    Not An Old Style Bug Zapper...It's Effective, Efficient, Quiet, And Almost Invisible!
                    I've owned several bug zappers over 30 years. I even had a smaller Black Flag bug zapper for the past 3 years. They all have worked well, but this is the first one that actually uses a black light which doesn't cast a bluish light throughout the yard. I wasn't sure how well it would work, but during the first couple nights it was completely filled with dead bugs. Now there are fewer bugs in the unit, but i believe it's due to less bugs. Before I purchased this bug zapper you couldn't go outside without being swarmed by mosquitoes. It looked like my arms were covered in fur. Now we can be outside in the yard enjoying the weather for hours and are not bothered by any bugs. This bug zapper has an energy saver setting that you can choose so it only turns on at night. I have also found that it is very quiet and you don't hear the zaps like the older units. I was unsure of paying so much for this unit, but I am very satisfied with this Black Flag unit!

                    Over 100 mosquitoes in one nigh!!
                    Only one night of having the bug zapper on but i can honestly say it worked!! Every night I go in the backyard to take my dog out to use the bathroom I get attacked by mosquitoes last night all i heard was zapping and was not bothered by one mosquito. Tonight I will have people over in the backyard and I know the mosquitoes are going to rather bite us then go to the zapper but this thing really worked to get the mosquitoes hopefully won't have as much tonight.

                      Georgia Swamp testing its limits
                      I live on 19 acres in northern GA. I have a pond, a lake, a creek, wooded wetlands and about 10 acres of forest....and my house is right in the middle of it all. We moved into this property a few months ago and we were shocked at how many mosquitos there were. It was terrible. I put this bad boy out and in 3 weeks had to clean it, I know people say it is self cleaning but I guess not on my property. Pictures attached. I am very happy with the results. There are times when we are outside and do not see a single mosquito. My recommendation is to buy several packs of the lures and put a new one out NEXT to the old one during the last week of the old one's useful life. I think the effectiveness of the lure drops pretty significantly after 2 to 3 weeks. My family can enjoy the back porch and BBQ pit. Great stuff.

                        Quiet and deadly
                        I wasnt sure if this product would be as effective, but this picture shows it is. My home is surrounded by several trees. We also live fairly close to a lake. I hung this from a tree about 50ft from where we sit outside. I cleared the branches around it so it wasnt being blocked by branches or leaves. You can barely hear, if at all any of the bugs hitting the lamp. I also burn tiki lamps where we sit to help in the immediate area.
