There’s a reason why we call mosquitos, chiggers, noseeums and the like ‘bugs.’

It’s because THEY BUG US.

You pay the rent or mortgage on your home. You deserve to be able to enjoy your yard without bugs, well, bugging you.

Right now, it’s on sale for 40% off of it’s regular price.

Why do we like the GooTop Outdoor Electric Bug Zapper?

Because we hate mosquito bites. The more bugs that the GooTop Outdoor Electric Bug Zapper kills, the fewer bites we get. It’s great math.

How does a bug zapper work?

A bug zapper, in most basic terms, is nothing more than an unshielded, high-wattage UV lamp. The light attracts the bugs we all loath (admittedly, along with some that we love, like the occasional bumble bee. So maybe don’t run it during the day,) and fries them when the come into contact with the electrical works inside of its grill. The soothing zit-zit-zit sound you hear as it works is the frying of little buggers that will never bother us with the histamine reaction caused by their bite or sting. It’s a thing of beauty.
