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

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.

Flowtron Indoor Bug Zapper 3000V LED

The Flowtron Indoor Bug Zapper 3000V LED offers superior indoor coverage up to 1000 sq. ft., which exceeds the Katchy trap's limited indoor effectiveness. Unlike the Aspectek zapper, it provides a non-clogging electric grid that's more reliable than the Aspectek's sparking method. However, the Flowtron is noisier than the Zevo trap's silent operation and doesn't offer the same level of child safety as the Katchy trap.
