Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I live in an apartment that features a balcony looking over a wooded area. At night, the flying and biting bugs come out to annoy and feast upon me! Much to my dismay, I didn't have access to an electrical outlet on the outside. I certainly didn't want to run an extension cord out the sliding glass door, leaving a crack for those bugs to find their way in to my apartment and taunt me inside and out! I took to amazon, and came across this intriguing option. I was initially skeptical about how effective this would be, operating off of a rechargeable battery and all. None the less, I bought it. When I received it, I charged it up, and set her up outside. The black light didn't seem all that bright to me, but within minutes I started hearing ZAP, ZAP, ZAP! You can actually see the spark, so apparently bugs can see it very clearly! I'm listening to it zap a few of the blood suckers as I type this now! It's very effective, and easily recharged. I did notice that larger insects like months tend to take several zaps, usually right in a row as they bounce around, to succumb to their fate. My only complaint would be cleanup. As easy as it would be to just take that drawer out and dump the bug carcasses, it's not always that simple. If the bug hits the metal innards at just the right angle (and boy do they), they will stick to it rather than fall into the tray. I haven't had the desire yet to try and find a way to dismantle it and clean them off, but it will have to happen at some point. I don't believe this is reason to take off any points, since the same would be true for any similar product on the market. Overall, I am extremely pleased with my purchase, and I would highly recommend this to anyone with needs similar to my own!
