How does the Zevo fly trap work?

It plugs into an indoor outlet and uses blue and UV light to attract flying insects, which stick to a disposable adhesive cartridge. There are no chemicals, zappers or odors.

Where should I plug it in?

Place it close to where you see the insects, such as a kitchen counter outlet near fruit or a bathroom. It works best when it is the brightest light source in the room at night.

Does it need refills?

Yes. It uses Zevo Full Size and Max Flying Insect Trap refills. Check the cartridge with the pull tab and replace it when full.

Is it safe around pets and children?

Zevo says it is people- and pet-friendly when used as directed because it uses light and adhesive rather than insecticide. Keep the cartridge out of reach of pets and small children.

Will it catch mosquitoes?

It is listed for flies and mosquitoes, but mosquitoes are less reliably drawn to light traps. It works best on fruit flies, gnats and house flies indoors.

How is it different from a bug zapper?

It is silent and has no zap or chemical smell, and it hides caught insects on a cartridge. A zapper kills on contact but is louder and messier.
