We appreciate the ease of use and the self-cleaning electric grid. We also found the upkeep to be easy as well, with a removable plastic tray at the bottom that is dishwasher-safe. You can hang it using the included chain-and-hook set, or simply set it on a hard, even surface, as long as an outlet is nearby. Simple and aesthetic in design, this bug zapper is a breeze to set up. It also features a mesh screen that flies can fit through, but small hands or curious pets cannot, ensuring accidental shocks don’t occur. In fact, in only two hours we counted about 20 bugs. We tested this product at home and found that the ultraviolet light attracted flies as well as mosquitos, gnats, and beetles.

In addition, you can disguise the jar by wrapping it with contact paper or hide it in an outdoor nylon Chinese lantern leaving the jar's mouth accessible. Plus, as with any trap, it's best to keep it away from pets and small children. Keep in mind that the smell can be unpleasant and many users have recommended that it should be placed downwind. Just don't rest it close to a wall, or it fills with cockroaches and other bugs, drawn to its significant odor. Thanks to its durable handle, you can easily hang it close to where it’s needed most such as by a back door or in the corner of a small yard.

The 1-gallon jug-style trap is a serious remedy, designed for what the manufacturer calls “medium-level” fly issues. We also like that two pouches are included, so you can have one as a backup if needed. According to the manufacturer, this plastic, insecticide-free trap can catch up to 35,000 flies before the 1-ounce, water-soluble attractant pouch needs to be thrown away.

Although it's not an attractive option, we think it's effective in catching a slew of flying-insect species. Our best overall pick for ridding your home of flies is the Starbar Fly Terminator Pro.
