Ranked #6 in Best Bug Zappers

DynaTrap DT160 Mosquito Trap

3.8

$175

The DynaTrap DT160 mosquito trap effectively reduces mosquito and other flying insect populations in yards up to ¾ acre. Bob Vila's review praised its weather-resistant design and ease of assembly, noting it successfully captured various pests including flies and moths. However, reviewers also pointed out that the trap doesn't kill insects, potentially allowing escapes during emptying, and may unintentionally capture beneficial pollinators. The trap's large size (25 inches tall, 15 inches diameter) may detract from landscape aesthetics. This device is best suited for those seeking a comprehensive, non-chemical pest control solution but may not appeal to users concerned about pollinator impact or those needing a compact option.

Strengths

— Easy assembly with simple twist-on motion for attaching the bug-catch basin
— Weather-resistant construction withstands rain and windy conditions
— Covers up to ¾ acre area for extensive protection against flying pests

Watch-outs

— Does not kill captured insects, which may lead to escaping insects during emptying
— May inadvertently capture beneficial pollinators like honey bees

DynaTrap DT3007W Indoor Plug-In Fly Trap

4.7

$18

The DynaTrap DT3007W Indoor Plug-In Fly Trap delivers 24/7 flying insect protection using UV LED light to attract and glue-trap pests. Reviewers praise its ease of use, discreet design, and effectiveness against fruit flies, house flies, moths, and gnats. However, some users note the newer model isn't as effective as older versions, and the LED bulbs may require replacement every 3-6 months. While many reviewers recommend it for kitchens, garages, and bedrooms, others express concerns about long-term performance compared to previous Dynatrap models. This trap is best suited for those seeking chemical-free indoor pest control but may not satisfy users wanting maximum trapping power.

Strengths

— Easy to use with simple plug-in design and rotate-to-fit functionality
— Effective at trapping fruit flies, house flies, moths, gnats, and other flying insects
— Discreet white design that blends into home décor with trapped insects hidden from view

Watch-outs

— Some users report newer model less effective than older plug-in versions

How they stack up

DynaTrap DT160 Mosquito Trap

The DynaTrap DT160 provides extensive outdoor coverage up to ¾ acre, which far exceeds the indoor-focused Katchy trap and Zevo trap. However, unlike the Flowtron FC4700 which offers silent low-voltage stunning, the DT160's fan-based trapping may be noisier. The DT160's weather-resistant design makes it superior to the Aspectek zapper for outdoor use, but it doesn't kill insects like the Flowtron models do, and it may inadvertently capture beneficial pollinators.

DynaTrap DT3007W Indoor Plug-In Fly Trap

The DynaTrap DT3007W provides 24/7 plug-in operation and discreet white design, which the Katchy Indoor Insect Trap lacks. However, unlike the Zevo trap which uses ultra-sticky cartridges, the DT3007W's glue cards require more frequent replacement. The DT3007W is more effective than the Aspectek zapper at trapping flies, but the Aspectek's electrified grid delivers more immediate results than the DT3007W's LED light attraction.
