Compare this to the mains-powered models, I won’t let them go anywhere near them because they can be incredibly dangerous. The Concise Home and Insect Killer 40W is a long and flat electric fly killer that is a good alternative to the Sahara Sailor Mosquito Killer Lamp if you want something that is a little more advanced. I think that these types of static electric fly zappers serve a different purpose than the racket-style zappers (the type I have reviewed previously) and have also tested extensively.

That’s why the solution then is to have a light source that emits UV-A light and at the same time does this in higher frequencies or cycles. The bars don’t bend in to touch the tubes or electric element, and small fingers shouldn’t fit between them.

Another initial step is by exclusion which is improving or installing additional barriers so flies won’t have an entry point to the home in the first place.

The idea of chasing a fly with a rolled-up newspaper and being led on a merry chase around your home is one that’s been mined for comedy gold for decades.Fruit flies have bright red eyes so if you catch one and look under a magnifying glass you will be able to tell. If you have problems with fruit flies, neither of these will be very effective, and this Super Ninja Fruit Fly Trap is what you need.
