Overview
Finally — A Bug Zapper That Actually Earns Its Spot on the Porch
Mosquitoes, gnats, fruit flies, moths — they don’t care that you’re trying to enjoy your backyard. The GOOTOP Bug Zapper does. Plug it in, hang it up, and let 4200 volts of blue-violet light-powered justice handle the rest. No sprays, no chemicals, no dead bugs poisoned with pesticides your pets might sniff around.
Whether it’s hanging in the garden, sitting in the garage, or glowing quietly in the kitchen, this zapper works from the moment it’s plugged in — covering up to half an acre of flying-insect misery.

What It Kills
One Zapper. A Long List of Flying Pests.
The GOOTOP is EPA registered and goes after the full roster: mosquitoes, Aedes, gnats, midges, flies, horse flies, fruit flies, house flies, moths, wasps — and anything else dumb enough to fly toward blue-violet light.
The UV bulb lures them in. The 4200V electric grid finishes the job on contact. No smell, no spray residue, no worrying about pets eating chemically-killed bugs off the floor.
Key Features
Built Simple. Works Hard.
No More Annoying Insects
The Full Pest Hit List
Mosquitoes, Aedes, gnats, moths, wasps, fruit flies, fleas — this zapper doesn’t discriminate. If it flies and it’s annoying, it’s a target.
Best results at night and in the dark, where the blue-violet UV light is most effective at drawing insects in. Set it up at dusk and let it work through the night while you actually enjoy your evening.
Power & Attraction
15W UV Light + 4200V Grid — That’s the Whole Strategy
The replaceable 15W bulb emits blue-violet UV light — the wavelength that flying insects can’t resist. Once they get close, the 4200V electric grid eliminates them on contact. Instant. Silent. Effective.
When the bulb eventually dims and stops pulling insects in as well, just replace it — the unit itself stays. It’s a smarter long-term buy than disposable zappers that get thrown out when they stop working.
Outdoor Use
Half an Acre of Coverage — Hang It Anywhere
At 980g, this thing is light enough to hang wherever bugs are worst. Garden, patio, balcony, courtyard, front porch, pergola, deck, backyard, pool area, garage, farm — the coverage radius reaches up to half an acre.
The included hanging hoop means you just need a hook or a branch. Plug in, hang up, done. No setup time, no warm-up period — it starts working the second it’s powered on.
Indoor Use
Kitchen, Bedroom, Living Room — Works Inside Too
Fruit flies in the kitchen? Mosquitoes sneaking into the bedroom at 2am? The GOOTOP handles indoor use just as well — no smell, no fog, no residue on surfaces.
The ABS plastic housing is fireproof and built for both environments. Plug it into any standard 3-prong outlet and let the UV light do the attracting while you sleep, cook, or watch TV undisturbed.
Easy Cleaning
3 Steps. Under a Minute.
Dead insects collect in the removable tray at the base. Cleaning is three steps: rotate the tray off, brush it out with the included brush, rinse and dry. That’s it.
The 0.3-inch grid spacing keeps the unit safe for children and pets who might get curious. No sharp edges, no exposed live voltage at a reachable angle — just a well-designed unit that’s been thought through.
Size & Build
Compact Enough to Go Anywhere
At 7.5″L × 6.7″W × 12″H and weighing in at 980g, this isn’t a bulky unit. It fits on a shelf, hangs from a beam, or perches on a table without dominating the space around it.
The ABS plastic outer shell is fireproof and weather-resistant — so outdoor use in the elements isn’t an issue. Black finish keeps it visually neutral whether it’s in a garden or a kitchen corner.
