Zevo Flying Insect Trap

4.4

$19

The Zevo Flying Insect Trap offers a quiet, chemical-free alternative to traditional bug zappers, using blue and UV light to lure insects into disposable adhesive cartridges. Wirecutter's Elissa Sanci found it highly effective in eliminating a garage fly infestation, while Bob Vila's review praised its ease of use and mess-free maintenance. However, reviewers noted the traps are best suited for small, contained areas like kitchens or plant rooms, and may catch non-target insects such as moths. The traps work best overnight and require regular cartridge replacement, making them ideal for targeted pest control rather than whole-home solutions.

Strengths

— Uses blue/UV light to attract insects without loud zapping or sparking
— Ultra-sticky adhesive cartridges effectively catch flying pests like gnats and fruit flies
— Easy, mess-free cartridge replacement process with no contact with dead insects

Watch-outs

— Limited coverage area, not suitable for large open spaces
— Catches non-target insects like moths alongside flies
— Requires frequent cartridge replacement depending on insect activity

How they stack up

DynaTrap DT150 Ultralight Indoor Insect Trap

While the DynaTrap DT150 offers quiet operation and versatile indoor/outdoor use, it suffers from frequent build quality issues that the Katchy Indoor Insect Trap avoids. Unlike the Zevo trap which uses adhesive cartridges, the DT150's glue card system is less convenient than the Zevo's mess-free replacement. The DT150's fan failures make it less reliable than the Flowtron FC4700, which offers better indoor coverage and more consistent performance.

Zevo Flying Insect Trap

The Zevo Flying Insect Trap uses ultra-sticky cartridges which are easier to replace than the DynaTrap DT3007W's glue cards, but unlike the Katchy trap, it's more effective against gnats and fruit flies. The Zevo's blue/UV light is quieter than the Aspectek's sparking grid, but the Aspectek's 2,800 volts provide more immediate results. The Zevo is less effective than the Flowtron FC4700 for larger insects, but it's more suitable for small indoor spaces.
